Death Rides the Rails | The Railroad Killer

For years, freight trains carried one of America's most terrifying serial killers from state to state without anyone realizing it. Known as The Railroad Killer, Ángel Maturino Reséndiz used the nation's rail system to move undetected, committing brutal murders across Texas, Kentucky, Florida, Illinois, and beyond. Living off the rails and operating under multiple aliases, he evaded authorities for years while leaving behind a trail of victims and unanswered questions. Investigators struggled to connect crimes occurring hundreds of miles apart until a nationwide manhunt finally revealed the truth. In this episode of Unlawful Acts, Connie and Jocelyn examine the life, crimes, and psychology of one of the most prolific serial killers in modern American history. From the attack that left survivor Holly Dunn alive to tell her story, to the FBI's pursuit and Reséndiz's eventual surrender, this is the complete story of the man who turned America's railways into his escape route.
