2000 AP Texas Ranger Drew Carter was honored by the American Police Hall of Fame. I feel very fortunate because there's not many people you know who can say they are doing exactly what they've always wanted to do. Accused Rail Killer Schizophrenic Defense Readies in Rail-Killer Case Carter is credited with negotiating the terms of the July 13 surrender of Angel Maturino Resendiz after a nationwide hunt.
Police say the Mexican drifter is linked to nine deaths in Texas, Illinois and Kentucky.
He has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. Carter had been a Texas Highway Patrol officer for 10 years before joining the state's elite investigative agency in September 1998. We definitely did connect as far as communication goes. We developed a rapport that ultimately led to successful negotiations to bring this guy in. A few days before the surrender, Carter went fishing with his daughter in the Gulf of Mexico.
