to this previous blog post to learn more about
him.
Angel Maturino Reséndiz (August 1, 1959 – June 27, 2006), aka The
Railroad Killer/The Railway Killer/The Railcar Killer, was an itinerant
Mexican serial killer
responsible for as many as 15 murders across the United States and Mexico
during the 1990s. Some also involved sexual assault. He became known as
"The Railroad (or Railway) Killer" as most of his crimes were committed
near railroads where he had jumped off the trains he was using to travel about
the country. On June 21, 1999, he briefly became the
457th fugitive listed by the FBI on its Ten Most
Wanted Fugitives list before surrendering to the Texas
authorities on July 13, when he was 39 years old. He was convicted of murder
and was executed by lethal injection.
Reséndiz
had many aliases but was chiefly known and sought after as Rafael
Resendez-Ramirez. One of his aliases, Ángel Reyes Reséndiz, was very
close to the name Ángel Leoncio Reyes Recendis given on his birth
certificate from Izúcar de Matamoros,
Puebla, Mexico. Reséndiz was in the United
States illegally.
