Ángel Maturino Reséndiz /

Angel Maturino Reséndiz, aka The Railroad Killer/The Railway Killer (August 1, 1959 – June 27, 2006), was an itinerant Mexican serial killer responsible for as many as thirty 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. He was 39 years old. 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. By jumping on and off trains both within and across Mexico, Canada and the United States, Reséndiz was able to evade the authorities for a considerable time. He also had no fixed addresses. Reséndiz killed as many as 15 people with rocks and other blunt objects, mainly in their homes. After
