Authorities followed Resendez-Ramirez s trail to a parking lot in Del Rio last Saturday, leading some to speculate that he might try to flee to Mexico if he s not there already. The FBI has distributed wanted posters to Mexican Customs and state police across the border. A lot of manpower is addressing this fugitive, that s for sure. The FBI s McAllen-based fugitive task force, which includes officers from several local police departments, has pursued a handful of tips this week, Cisneros said, but those leads turned up nothing. Meanwhile, bridge and rail inspectors on both sides of the border are on the lookout.
Authorities say they are checking crossers heading both north and south.
We know the history. Of course, we have to be careful. All of the victims were bludgeoned to death in close proximity to rail lines. One of the slayings linked to Resendez-Ramirez is La Feria native Noemi Dominguez, beaten to death on June 5 in her Houston home. Authorities also were examining whether the slaying of a woman found Wednesday in a train boxcar in Chicago is connected to Resendez-Ramirez, who is wanted on a federal fugitive warrant.
