BOBBIE DREW ED FEMALE GEORGE JUDGE JURY KEN MALE MAN MARC MIKE NARRATOR PROSECUTOR RAMON REPORTER THOMAS WOMAN KEN I had never seen anything like that before THOMAS Why had the killer left clues? That's where the mystery was There was no precedent to this MARC To me, it was like a person saying, I controlled this, I owned this crime scene RAMON He is bragging He is telling us "I was here" MARC We had a serial offender How do we catch him? ED Police departments all over the country are looking for this man DREW You have the boogeyman running around and killing people in their beds while they're sleeping MARC The panic or the fear was spreading across the country DREW Even as the fugitive investigation is going and as we're linking him to more crimes, he's continuing to kill people WOMAN Agents, state and local law enforcement officers are involved in this effort and we're going to continue to do everything that we can NARRATOR It's a week away from Christmas, in the quiet Houston suburb of West University Place, Texas Dr Claudia Benton, a physician and researcher at Baylor's medical school fails to appear to give her afternoon lecture KEN Dr Benton was supposed to give a presentation at Baylor College of Medicine and she didn't show up It was very, very uncommon for her not to keep an appointment Several of Dr Benton's co workers called the West University Place police department and asked for a police officer to come out to do a welfare check DREW George Benton, the husband, was out of town at the time Claudia had stayed behind KEN All the downstairs windows were secured, doors were locked, the officers made entry into the house They hear a pager, it's vibrating Her pager is in the hallway, leading to the bedroom When they look into Dr Benton's bedroom they see her legs sticking out from underneath a blanket They could not find a pulse She suffered a brutal beating Blood splatter was just all over the place DREW The crime scene was very violent There were stab wounds, the scene was in disarray KEN There was a large butcher knife laying on a pillow next to her Once the blanket is removed, that's when we discover a clear produce bag wrapped around her head On top of a bench in the living room, Her driver�s license was displayed It's very unusual, I'd never seen anything like that before It was as if he was looking at her almost reliving, seeing what she looked like in real life DREW They'd spent a lot of time going through personal belongings and effects Even went so far as to open up Christmas presents THOMAS The killer took tins of cookies and Christmas items with him when he left There was a trail of wrapping paper and tinsel and tissue paper and things like that, and crumbs On the counter in the kitchen was a piece of half eaten fruit It appeared that after the killer committed his murder, he ate The police were wondering at that point what these clues meant DREW The f that the suspect spent as much time as they did in the residence after the crime, it is unusual because generally if there's violence during a burglary it's because they're caught in the They're gonna look to get away, fast KEN There is no vehicle in the garage Dr Benton's Jeep Cherokee was missing We were able to enter the information into the Detective's Crime Information Center as a stolen vehicle wanted in a homicide NARRATOR year old Dr Claudia Benton was a pediatric geneticist, working to diagnose and cure childhood disease She was married and had twin year old daughters KEN At the point they're starting to call her husband who had taken their twin daughters to Arizona to visit his side of the family GEORGE Well, she was a loving wife and mother She was a dedicated doctor I met her when I was working in Peru My wife really didn't have any enemies and I guess my first thought is maybe it was some researcher or medical student that knew her from her career there at the Texas Medical Center KEN George Benton caught the first flight that he could from Phoenix to Houston We had suspicions that he might have been involved because of the f that he was so composed He may have paid someone to commit the murder while he is away in Arizona That's a thought that crosses our mind The next afternoon, myself and George Benton and his brother, we did a walk through of the house NARRATOR George Benton notices something unusual about the items taken from the bedroom GEORGE The jewelry was all gone except for a pearl necklace It's an old superstition in Latin America that stealing pearls is bad luck I thought like, well, probably it's a good chance that this is a Latino or Hispanic person that did this KEN We canvassed the neighborhood Nobody reported anything suspicious, nothing NARRATOR Investigators are puzzled by the unusual clues the perpetrator left at the crime scene The crumbs and partially eaten fruit and the ID placed deliberately on display THOMAS Police, they were trying to figure out why were these things left this way That's where the mystery was at the point NARRATOR Then, five months later, miles west, in the tiny town of Weimar, Texas Local pastor Norman Sirnic and his wife Karen don't show up for Sunday services at their parish THOMAS The president of the congregation went to the home of the pastor and his wife and knocked on the front door Didn't get an answer, but the door was unlocked He noticed there was blood on the door to the bedroom And in the bed were the bodies of the pastor and his wife MARC There are not a lot of homicides in Weimer, Texas As a matter of f this may have been the first one in at least ten years Both the Sirnics were bludgeoned to death with a pound sledge hammer Their photo ID was displayed So we could tell that this person looked at their ID There was fruit in the kitchen that had been partially eaten What happened here? That was an unusual crime scene This person spent a long time in the residence The f that the ID's were there, to me it was like the person, in their own mind saying I controlled this, I owned this crime scene I was in charge here And the behavior in that crime scene suggested that somebody that has offended before and more than likely will offend again We put the word out to all the agencies that we could in the area We were trying to find out had anybody else had any other similar cases DREW In May of , I learned that a double homicide had occurred in Weimer, Texas MARC They called and they said, "Hey, we've got a similar case," the case of Dr Claudia Benton DREW We started comparing notes The similarities were the victims had been bludgeoned The suspect had spent a lot of time in the residence Food, again, that had been eaten The ID's being displayed NARRATOR The marks are exly the same But the crime scenes are miles apart, and authorities wonder how they might be connected MARC We had to do something to try and figure out the connection It was frustrating in that we didn't have any real reason for the victim selection We didn't know a motive It wasn't people doing things they shouldn't have done It was pure innocent people at home We're trying to figure out what kind of animal we were dealing with MAN At least thirty different agencies were on the hunt for this killer MARC We got calls, should I get grandma out of the house My answer was yes MAN He is bragging Look, I'll do something I haven't done before Catch me NARRATOR Authorities are investigating two crime scenes with similar marks The killer leaves half eaten food and displays his victim's ID's Then investigators get a huge break They've located victim Dr Claudia Benton's stolen Jeep KEN It's found at a motel near Interstate in San Antonio, Texas We dusted the car extensively We did find some latent prints All the fingerprints that I collected from the Jeep Cherokee we were able to scan them in the AFIS, Automatic Fingerprint Identification System computer to try to locate a match We find a match The prints match to a man named Angel Matarino Resendiz MARC Angel Resendiz was from Mexico He had been deported a number of times after encounters with law enforcement He had no known home in the United States He'd spent a considerable amount of time in prison for burglaries, assaults, false identification and financial crimes At that point the FBI and the Texas Rangers started working together on the case DREW We know that this individual has come into cont with law enforcement multiple times but he always gives a different alias, always provides different information As I recall there were to different aliases that were used And there's probably more than that but that's just the ones that I remember That was just kind of the thing that went, hey, let's have the DNA evidence run from both locations Let's compare NARRATOR The scientists at the forensics lab compare the DNA samples found at both murder scenes DREW We got confirmation from the lab that the DNA had matched We realized, okay we have a serial killer here MARC And we knew who he was But how do we catch him? We were having a very difficult time with how do we find this guy because he had no home in the United States We had him back and forth across the Texas Mexico border, numerous occasions NARRATOR Authorities need to find out how Resendiz is managing to move around undetected BOBBIE He didn't have a permanent place of residence He didn't own a car, he didn't work at a location So you don't have the normal fugitive case DREW So we really didn't even know where to start ually trying to find him or put the pressure on him NARRATOR While the manhunt continues investigators work to try and connect the two crime scenes and determine what Resendiz's motive may be RAMON The killer has a need for intimacy after committing such a horrendous crime Staying there for a while and eating and letting the crumbs fall is his way of connecting with his victim because he doesn't want this person to be just a random killing He wants to feel that there was a reason why he went to that house and found that victim NARRATOR Investigators turn to the extensive FBI database to look for potential leads MARC We put the chareristics of these crimes into the Vicap computer system that the FBI manages in Quantico, Virginia Vicap, Violent Criminal Apprehension Program has made an effort to computerize unsolved cases So if a department makes an inquiry and says, hey we've got this with all these fors the computer can go in and generate leads DREW I received a call from Mark Young We received a hit through VICAP on a murder in Kentucky NARRATOR The Kentucky crime scene lacks the displayed ID's of the Texas murders But there are other similarities DREW In the case of the murder in Kentucky, the similarities were that he was bludgeoned with a weapon of opportunity The perpetrator is reported as a average height, Hispanic male in his mid 's I said, well let me check and see what we come up with THOMAS Holly Dunn and Chris Maier were a couple They were dating, they were college students They had attended a college party in close proximity to railroad tracks, and they opted to stroll along the curve of the tracks A man stepped out of the shadows and demanded money And in a flash the man attacked Chris with a pound rock He takes a wooden board and hits Holly Dunn repeatedly in the face He stuck an ice pick in the side of her neck and ran off into the shadows MARC He left her in the bushes covered with branches and other items THOMAS Well, against all odds, she survived it MARC Holly Dunn managed to give police a description of the offender This is the sketch that was sent to us by the Kentucky State Police The description she gave was a short male with wavy black hair, possibly Hispanic accent and he wore glasses NARRATOR The resemblance to Resendiz is striking MARC I thought that it was Resendiz We talked about how we're gonna prove it The authorities in Lexington told me, well we have untested DNA samples from the Holly Dunn crime scene They managed to somehow get a private jet aircraft and fly that evidence to the lab And we're able to get a match The match is to Angel Resendiz NARRATOR Police have now connected Resendiz to four murders in two different states DREW Once we had the connection to the case in Kentucky, now we're looking at a national investigation across state lines The case is starting to gain momentum as the scope of severity of the incidents were expanded There's really no telling how many people this guy's killed NARRATOR After comparing the crime scene locations, authorities make a major breakthrough MARC We realized that the crime scenes were all in proximity to railroad tracks With Dr Benton, the train tracks were close by The railroad tracks were yards away from the Sirnic's residence in Weimer, Texas DREW The Christopher Meir and Holly Dunn case also took place in and around train tracks Once the cases were connected, the significance of the train tracks was evident BOBBIE He's jumping the trains and riding throughout the US and into Mexico He's crossing the border NARRATOR The task force realizes they are chasing a man who can travel inconspicuously, wherever he likes across the US ED He would slip into town, find somebody close to the railroad, kill them, and then hop on a freight train Didn't matter where it was going But he escaped very quickly before police could find him NARRATOR The Texas Rangers and FBI believe Angel Resendiz has killed four people in two states And they've confirmed his method of evading authorities DREW The importance of the train tracks was prevalent We have someone that's been linked to four murders in three different locations in two states, but one of the hardest things about someone that's traveling a train is that they're transient So he could show up anywhere NARRATOR The manhunt zeroes in on train routes connecting the south to Mexico MARC There was a lot of work done with railroad police and officers trying to find people riding the trains BOBBIE In order to find him we needed to know if he had any patterns NARRATOR And authorities are searching for leads in other unsolved murder cases nationwide DREW Shortly after the VICAP hit in Kentucky, we started getting inquiries from other police departments that were working cold cases and one of those was the case in a small town in Texas called Hugh Springs MARC The police chief from Hugh Springs, Texas called and said, "I've got a case and it's similar to a lot of the things that you're talking about" NARRATOR Two months before Dr Benton's murder and miles north of West University Place, year old Leafie Mason is found bludgeoned to death in her own home MARC You could see the embankment of the track in proximity to Leafie Mason's residence She's an elderly lady and didn't respond to phone calls Police were asked to do a welfare check THOMAS The police arrived at the home They immediately saw the house was disheveled Went into the bedroom and discovered Leafie Mason's body She had been bludgeoned repeatedly MARC It was a very brutal, bloody crime scene THOMAS She collected old fashioned irons from different eras The killer had left all of them strewn around and even left some on her body These irons were used as weapons to crush her skull MARC Leafie Mason's purse had been taken into the bathroom and on top of the purse, as if the offender set it there was her ID card In the kitchen there were pieces of fruit that had been partially eaten DREW Again, something that was similar to these other cases I would say that all murders are callus in their own way but this particular guy just, he was just evil He obviously enjoyed what he had done This guy would kill and then he spent time getting to know who the victim was after the f Murder in and of itself is as intrusive as you can get, but this guy was like delving into people's personal lives so even taking it one step further and really getting in someone's space, their personal space NARRATOR Leafie Mason's murder bares all the same marks left at the Benton and Sernic crime scenes With Resendiz now linked to a fifth murder, the manhunt shifts into overdrive ED We're talking about a national killer Police departments all over the country are looking for this man NARRATOR The FBI puts Resendiz on its most wanted list MIKE So we made the decision to start a command post to secure the apprehension of Mr Resendiz Had Houston police department, I think secret service was there, Us Marshalls, rangers BOBBIE We had local sheriffs, we had university police, we had law enforcement officers across the country and into Mexico MIKE At least different agencies were on the hunt for this killer That's just agencies, people-wise it was in the thousands DREW There's so much media attention and so much public frenzy going on about this that it brought a sense of urgency REPORTER The manhunt for Angel Resendiz goes on WOMAN I keep the doors locked and keep a pistol by my bed MARC The panic or the fear was spreading across the country DREW The public is obviously scared because you have the boogeyman running around killing people in their beds while they're sleeping MALE You have to lock your windows, your doors and everything MARC We got many, many calls saying, should I get grandma out of the house and have her stay with us? And, you know, my answer was yes ED Anyone that lived within earshot of a train whistle double locked their doors and bolted their windows shut WOMAN My husband leaves in the morning and we don't come home until he comes home, 'cause we're sitting right on top of tracks MIKE We initiated a - number tipline to come into this office There was so much information coming in We tried to put as much pressure on him as we could We wanted to take away his comfort zones and make it uncomfortable for him to ride a train ever again We put his name out there and we put the pressure on him so hard in the United States that he was running out of places to hide RAMON He's so powerful, he's in total control BOBBIE The FBI finds out that Resendiz had a wife She had had a child with this man DREW It was just kind of surreal He only wanted to surrender to me REPORTER Authorities have hunted Resendiz in the months since his murder spree was discovered in Texas FEMALE Agents, state and local law enforcement officers are involved in this effort, and we're going to continue to do everything that we can NARRATOR The manhunt to find Angel Resendiz, the man leaving his bizarre mark at several murder scenes is growing more urgent by the day MIKE There are risks associated with pressuring Resendiz Maybe in retaliation for us putting some much pressure on him, he would go on a spree NARRATOR Then six months into the manhunt to find him the country is horrified to learn that Resendiz has struck again Twice in one day DREW Houston Police Department called me to a scene in Harris County The condition of the crime scene was very similar to the other crimes scenes that we had NARRATOR The first victim is a young woman, named Noemi Dominguez THOMAS She lived alone in Houston, was a Rice University student NARRATOR The second victim is Josephine Konvica, a widow who also lived alone in Fayette County, Texas She was an ive member in her church and close with her family THOMAS Angel Resendiz had killed Noemi Dominguez with a pick axe from her house in Houston and then he stole her car Then he drove miles to Fayette County to the home of Josephine Konvica and killed her with the same pick axe MARC The pick ax used to kill Josephine Konvica had blood on it from Noemi Dominguez There was DNA evidence collected that was also used to confirm that it was Resendiz And like in the other crime scenes, the offender ate fruit and there was remnants of that left in the kitchen NARRATOR At the crime scene in Fayette County, Resendiz adds some twists to the marks that he leaves THOMAS She was positioned to look peaceful, except for a weapon in her head MARC In one of the bedrooms there was a toy train set for her grandchildren, had been removed from a closet and laid out displayed on a bed There was a newspaper in Josephine Konvica's house that was talking about the railroad killer and it was on her sofa DREW Now it seems like the guy was aware that he was being called The Railroad Killer and was just perpetuating that role now RAMON He is looking at the FBI, or thinking of them sarcastically "You think you're getting closer to me?" "Look, I'll do something I haven't done before" "Catch me" He's telling us, "I was here" The Railroad Killer He is bragging MIKE Scent dogs tracked his scent from the house to a railroad track and it vanished So we know he got on a train and headed east or west NARRATOR Police have now connected Resendiz to seven murders DREW Even as the fugitive investigation is going and as we're linking him to more crimes, he's continuing to kill people Every day that he was still out there increased the opportunity for him to kill again and leave us with other victims MIKE an emotional toll working a case like this because you know he's still out there He still has the means and wherewithal to commit more murders DREW To put pressure on him, I felt like it was important to find somebody that we could ually talk to that might be willing to help us We aired it on America's Most Wanted We ended up getting a call from someone out on the west coast This person was a distant relative of the family and knew about his family We found a viable lead to someone that ually had a connection with the suspect His sister in New Mexico, Manuela Karkiewicz Essentially she said that she hadn't seen him in several years Didn't know where he was at at the time but Manuela helped us facilitate the interviews with the family BOBBIE We found out Resendiz had a common law wife in Southern Mexico Julieta Dominguez DREW We used the US Marshall attache in Mexico along with the Mexican officials They went and made cont with the wife BOBBIE Julieta told us that he traveled a lot And he brought home trinkets He brought home jewelry Both Noemi Dominguez's family and Dr Benton's family identified some of the pieces as belonging to the victims We had complete cooperation with Julieta But she had no idea where he was at that moment Julieta loved him and she loved the f that she had had a child with this man She didn't know he was a monster NARRATOR Then a promising tip comes in BOBBIE In Flatonia, Texas we received information that a worker in a rail yard had sighted Resendiz NARRATOR The rail line that runs through Flatonia is the same line that dogs tracked Resendiz to after the Konvica murder BOBBIE There was a sense of urgency to get out there Anytime you go to arrest a violent fugitive you take all the precautions that you can You take enough man power and you're armed so that you can re if things start to go south This guy is out there killing people and we needed to stop him NARRATOR Police have gotten a tip that their suspect in seven murders across the country, Angel Resendiz, was spotted in a Texas rail yard BOBBIE The police immediately responded But by the time they got there, he was gone We were so disappointed because this was one of the best leads that we'd received DREW We spent the whole day searching as a law enforcement task force, stopping trains and inspecting trains for people riding on them because it was that significant BOBBIE You just keep going because this guy is out there killing people And we needed to stop him NARRATOR The team combs the country But despite investigator's best efforts eight days later Resendiz strikes again In rural Illinois, year old Carolyn Frederick and her father, year old Army veteran George Morber are found dead at home MARC So I went to the crime scene and they walked us through it and we said this is like, you know dropping us into one of the other crime scenes RAMON Perhaps the idea that I will soon be caught, I better hurry up and do as much as I can before I'm caught MARC So is that a guy that's going out in a blaze? Is he gonna kill at that level of frequency? A vehicle was taken It was later recovered miles away very near a railroad track We'd been reviewing all that information that came in and making timelines about, okay where was he, when was he here? And it goes from Washington state to Florida From the northeast coast to Southern California He could travel wherever he wanted MIKE We targeted the trains that we'd known he'd used in the past, but it takes a tremendous undertaking to stop a train It was time consuming, it took a lot of man power There's just no way to stop every train and shut down America NARRATOR With this elusive killer on the rails the FBI ups the ante and offers a large cash reward for information leading to an arrest MARC There was a reward put out for $, for his capture That was a pretty serious motivation for people to try and help us if they knew anything BOBBIE In Mexico we received information that bounty hunters were looking for him And it wasn't important to them if they took him dead or alive DREW Up to this point, I'd been the one that had established a relationship with the sister And I just told her, I said, "Manuela, you need to be prepared on what you're gonna do when he conts you" She said, "Well, he hadn't conted me in years Why would he do it now?" I said, "Because he's got no where else to go" You had the full force of the federal investigators, state investigators, you had a reward out now for him so there was the officials in Mexico were really being ive And we'd gotten his wife and his kid and his family And I'm sure there was great pressure in Mexico from bounty hunters wanting to collect $, Now it's just a matter of catching him And about five days after, Manuela called and said, "Hey, I've been talking with my brother, and I think he's tired, he's tired of running" She essentially indicated that her brother was thinking about turning himself in She was a good person and it's obvious that she was in a struggle with doing the right thing versus the unconditional love you have for a family member BOBBIE She was afraid that bounty hunters would kill him So she wanted to arrange a surrender of her brother Resendiz had no where to go But he wanted to negotiate and have the conditions of his surrender on his terms RAMON He wants everyone to know he's so powerful, he's in total control DREW I said really what I need to know is what is it gonna take for him to come in? She said, "I'll call you tomorrow and let you know" MARC That was something that went on back and forth with phone calls for a few days DREW The family was worried about what he had done and they wanted to know if there would be a psychological evaluation I could tell that she was scared She said, well, he only wanted to surrender to me, to a Texas Ranger When she told me that I said, "Well, if he's gonna surrender to me," I said, "I'm gonna pick the place" MARC And with that he agreed They worked out a surrender scenario He would meet them at the bridge in El Paso DREW Ultimately he was tired of running He agreed that he wanted to surrender to me and they were looking for a vehicle and they would be there in seven hours MIKE It was a multi agency task force there waiting for him A Texas Ranger, a US Marshall and an FBI agent All sort of things go through your head 'cause you know he's a violent fugitive There was surveillance squads watching and waiting for him DREW I just felt like he might change his mind I got a call later on that said, well, he was contemplating his options, what he wanted to do And when they told me that I said, "Well, I saw a news truck Tell him if he's coming he better come now because everybody's about to know" I remember I was standing up on the bridge It was probably , in the morning It was about minutes later a pickup truck came driving across and there were three people in there, and I saw him sitting in the middle He's coming with one of his brothers If you think about all that we'd been through, it was just kind of surreal, just seeing a non descript pickup truck driving across the international bridge and then there's the serial killer you've been looking for for the last five months NARRATOR Authorities are stationed at the United States Mexico border awaiting the surrender of the man alleged to be the Railroad Killer, Angel Resendiz MIKE Our hands are tied until he steps across the border If he'd ran back into Mexico, you can't chase him, you can't shoot at him, you can't do anything You're really holding your breath until he ually walks across the border Resendiz pulls up with his brother In case he pulled out a weapon, the agents could all use deadly force He walked across the border DREW I stuck my hand out, said I'm Drew Shook his hand, turned him around and cuffed him Then we took him down to start processing him MIKE Everybody let a sigh of relief It was over REPORTER One of America's most wanted criminals has just turned himself in DREW It was something that he did on his own And it was also the wishes of his family MARC With the certainty of what his fate would be in Texas, I was a little surprised that he followed through and ually showed up, but he did DREW There's a lot to be done then Now we got to get him magistrated We got to get him flown back to Houston We gotta interview, I mean that was just, that was really the start of the second phase RAMON The court appointed me to do an evaluation to determine whether he was sane or insane He was astute individual He was knowledgeable He was an intelligent person Angel Resendiz believed he had a mission on Earth He stated that he was an angel of God, part angel, part man, that was here to do as God mandated ED I ually sat with him and interviewed him He frequently talked about the angel, Michael, the archangel coming down and talking to him It was Michael telling him who to kill and why RAMON He was here to get rid of evil And thus he committed these murders to get rid of evil NARRATOR In March of , Angel Resendiz goes on trial for the murder of Dr Claudia Benton The case authorities believe has the strongest physical evidence DREW the Claudia Benton murder we had the thumbprint, we had DNA evidence, and it was kind of the start of the whole investigation THOMAS I was one of the jurors Resendiz showed very little if any emotion It was just so flagrantly frightening Really, really frightening RAMON Angel Resendiz plead not guilty by reason of insanity And that was an avenue possibly not to get the death sentence PROSECUTOR We've heard a lot from doctors, but you don't need a doctor to resolve this case, I promise you that The defendant is a well documented liar THOMAS He just would stare at us, back and forth the jury box like this And it was spooky He told his defense attorney that he had put a curse on the jury, his own special curse JUDGE Has the jury reached a verdict? JURY Yes sir, we have We the jury find the defendant Angel Macarena Resendiz also known as Raphael Resendiz Ramirez guilty of capitol murder as charged in the indictment NARRATOR In May of the jury rejects Resendiz's insanity defense and finds him guilty of the murder of Claudia Benton THOMAS During the sentencing phase of the trial Holly Dunn was scheduled to testify The prosecuting attorney asked her, "Is the person who attacked you in this room?" She said, "Yes" She turned and looked him in the eye and she said, it was him, and he just glared at her He had a look on his face like he wanted to jump out of his chair and do something to her And the guards that were in the courtroom, they moved very close to him A few hours later we sentence Angel Resendiz to death NARRATOR After receiving a death sentence Resendiz is not tried for any other crimes BOBBIE I believe he was probably the most violent, evil, soulless criminal that I ever worked NARRATOR On June , Angel Resendiz is executed by lethal injection DREW That's the end of the story There's no appeal, he's not gonna get out There's no one else that's gonna be killed so it was like the ultimate closure BOBBIE I was at the execution of Resendiz in His last words were, "Predone me, predone me" They were, forgive me father, forgive me father It did nothing for the victim's families He was all about saving himself DREW The victims and their families and what they were put through, I pray that that was the closure that they got that allowed them to move on to the next step in their lives
