Nicknamed "the railway killer" because his crimes took place near railroad tracks, Resendez was the object of an international manhunt. Wanted for the murder of nine women in three states, he finally surrendered in El Paso, Texas. The killings to which he eventually confessed were brutal beatings and stabbings that took place in the victims' homes and were sometimes followed by a sexual assault on the dead or dying people. He was convicted of first degree murder on May 18, 2000, in Texas and now faces the death penalty.
