'Railroad Killer' Confesses To Unsolved S.A. Murders
Resendiz Helps Authorities With Cold Cases
Angel Resendiz (pictured, left), who is sitting on Texas' death row for the murder of a Houston doctor, claimed to have committed the murders in the mid-1980's, San Antonio police and Bexar County sheriff's department officials said.
Resendiz told authorities that when he lived at the Samm Shelter, he murdered a Cuban man and then dumped the victim's chopped-up body in a creek along Highway 90.
But SAPD homicide detectives said Resendiz' story didn't pan out, and neither did a second crime the self-proclaimed serial killer confessed to.
Resendiz' claim to a third murder, though, did crack a murder mystery wide open.
Bexar County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Sal Marin told KSAT 12 News police beat reporter Gina Galaviz that one of the serial killer's confessions matched an unsolved murder.
In 1986, authorities found the body of a woman on Weichold Road and Loop 1604. The unidentified victim was shot several times, Marin said.
"Sooner or later ... serial killers are linked to these type of murders," Marin said.
SAPD officials and other law enforcement agencies said they plan to look closer at their cold cases to see if Resendiz can help them solve the murder mysteries.Copyright 2001 by ClickOnSA.com All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
