Summary

In this episode we’re talking about a Mexican serial killer who rode freight trains across the U.S., Ángel Maturino Reséndiz. Media nicknamed him the Railroad Killer, and he was at one point the FBI’s most wanted fugitive. The FBI linked Resendiz to 15 murders across several states in the 1990s — with only one survivor to tell the tale. Reséndiz escaped capture several times by being voluntarily deported back to Mexico, it would take the FBI and the Railroad Killer’s own sister to finally bring him down in 1999.
