I did my research on this last year. Crazy to think the heights was once for the lower class huh? My aunt actually partied with Dean, and the teenager. Creepy stuff! Google, YouTube, and wiki this story, lots of stuff on it
Houston is full of contradictions. You have the hood right next to midtown. If you go a few streets north of Washington it gets real shady real fast.
I may be thinking of this same story but did something also happen in the clear lake area? I remember hearing a story similar to this but different and it would have happened in the clear lake area. Now thinking it may have been the some one.
Happy Halloween year 7. This macabre story sticks with me because it was contemporary with my 'get crazy' youth at the time I moved to Houston. I saw it unfold in real time. I repost it because people seem to love horror... Halloween movies, Saw movies, Chainsaw movies and I don't understand the appeal because there is so much horror in real life with real people. This one will always haunt me.

Very gruesome read. I'm glad that serial killers are declining. We can thank unleaded gasoline along with the internet in contributing to that.
'Railroad killer' offers apology at execution http://www.chron.com/news/houston-t...iller-offers-apology-at-execution-1891401.php June 28, 2006 HUNTSVILLE - Angel Maturino Resendiz, the serial killer who claimed he was half-man, half-angel and could not be killed, was executed here Tuesday for the December 1998 murder of West University Place physician Claudia Benton. Maturino Resendiz, 46, who killed as many as 14 people as he criss-crossed the nation by rail and in the process came to be known as the "railroad killer," was the 13th person to be executed in Texas this year...... In addition to Benton, other victims' relatives present to witness the execution included Josephine Konvicka's son, Karen Sirnic's brother and an Illinois man who was George Morber's grandson and Carolyn Frederick's son. Konvicka, 73, was killed with a pickax at her Schulenburg home; Weimar resident Sirnic and her minister husband, Norman, were killed with a sledgehammer; Morber was fatally shot and Frederick was beaten to death with the firearm. http://www.zodiackiller.com/ How did you become interested in the Zodiac Killer? Tom Voigt: When I was born, my parents were living in Southern California. My father was a newspaper man, and my earliest memories were of my dad coming home and turning on the black-and-white TV, and I remember all these crazy stories from the late 1960s. Not just Zodiac, but the Manson Family, all the anti-war protests, the Watts riots, and so forth. I remember the TV being really scary! We eventually moved out of the Los Angeles area to Oregon, because the Mansons had scared my mom so badly. But then we got to Oregon and it was Bigfoot, D.B. Cooper, Ted Bundy. That's the atmosphere I grew up in.
