"If Wendy is alive, she can fill in the blanks with what happened to Jesse." Von Huben's father, William, said he is glad to see any alleged serial killer arrested.

"I'm hoping there's no connection because maybe my daughter's still alive somewhere," he said. "Until you have some proof otherwise, I'm hoping she's out there." Despite a nationwide search, several TV appearances and an Internet posting, Rosenquist said no new leads in Von Huben's disappearance have surfaced since April 1997. Police received tips placing Von Huben in Jacksonville, and again in Baldwin, months after the disappearance. Two transients told police they saw Von Huben in mid-April 1997 with a homeless man in a wooded area near Pensacola, Fla. The man, Bobby Ray Taylor, 46, denied he had been with Von His arrest and an investigation yielded no incriminating evidence.

Herald WOODSTOCK A suspected serial kilter may be linked to the 197 death cf a Woodstock teenager sad the dissppearance of another. The Woodstock Police Department and the Marion County Sheriffs Department in Honda are working with the FBI to determine if Angel Maturino Resendez, 39, is connected to the case of Wendy Von Huben and Jesse Lee Howell. Maturino Resendez surrendered Tuesday to the Texas Rangers. Maturino Resendez is suspected in eight bludgeoning deaths along railroad routes from Texas to Illinois. Von Huben, 16, vanished in March 1997 after driving to Florida with her boyfriend, Howell Howell was found dead March 23, 1997.

Authorities found his bludgeoned body along an empty stretch of railroad tracks 60 miles northwest of Orlando.

We're going back to DNA evidence to see if there's anything we can compare." Lumpkin said Von Huben's whereabouts is the primary concern.

It still is unclear why he turned himself in. Mexico does not have the death penalty and does not return suspects to countries where they may face the death penalty. But Mike Cox, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman, said Maturino Resendez may have feared hunters.

A $125,000 reward had been offered for his capture. Texas' hold on Maturino Resendez also might mean Kentucky and Illinois officials never get to prosecute him. Lexington, police Sgt. Mark Barnard said he hopes that is not the case. "I don't care if he gets the.

death penalty seven times," Barnard said. "I want him in Kentucky." Maturino Resendez is thought to have traveled by hopping freight trains. All of the victims were killed near the tracks. Investigators said they have no idea what moti-' vated the killings. The killing spree apparently started with the 1997 slaying of a 21-year-old college student in Kentucky.

The most recent slayings were those of a 79-year-old man and his 51 -year-old daughter, found dead June 15 in Gorham. Benton's killing, Maturino Resendez, wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and handcuffs, calmly asked state District Judge William Harmon if he could plead guilty. It was unclear whether Maturino Resendez specifically was addressing the burglary charge or all of the charges against him. His admission of guilt was not an official plea because his court appearances were only to set bail and assign him a lawyer. He was jailed without bail.

In Texas, a charge of capital murder usually can be filed only when there is evidence that a murder occurred during the commission of certain felonies, such as burglary. The decision of whether to charge Maturino Resendez with capital murder in Ms. Benton's death rests with Harris County District Attorney Johnny Holmes, whose county has notched the most death-penalty convictions in Texas. Of the 469 people on death row in Texas, 146 about one-third were sent there by Harris County. If Harris County, were a state, it would rank third in the number of people executed in the nation with 56.

Virginia has executed 67. After hiding out in Mexico, Maturino Resendez surrendered Murder Cosfaeed from page 1 Texas has executed 180 people by far the most in the nation -iince the U.S. Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume in 1976. The 39-year-old rail-hopping drifter, who turned himself in Tuesday after a six-week manhunt that made him one of the most wanted fugitives in America, also is charged with two slayings in Illinois and one in Kentucky and is believed responsible for five other killings in Texas. During the manhunt, the FBI referred to him by one of his alias-es, Rafael Resendez-Ramirez.

Until the murder charge was filed in Hughes Springs, the only charge against him in Texas was burglary, at the scene where Dr. Claudia Benton, 39, was killed Dec. 17 in the Houston enclave of 'West University Place. She was Ibeaten in the head, stabbed three in the. back and covered a blanket.

Maturino Resendez's finger-prints were found on parts from pie woman's stolen car, and prose-icutors said DNA evidence also might link him to the slaying.

Patrick Walsh did prove probable cause on the lesser charges of attempted armed robbery, aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. But Prather said she would rule this afternoon on the more serious charges after reviewing evidence and testimony from the hearing carried over from Friday.

The 15-year-old, who was 14 at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty two weeks ago to attempted murder, attempted armed robbery and aggravated battery under the Illinois Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction Act, which allows for a blended juvenile and adult sentence. Under the terms of the deal, the boy will be sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections Juvenile division until he turns 21. He also could face a 6-year-adult sentence if he does not satisfactorily complete the terms of his juvenile sentence. hand on the boy's shoulder to guide him out of the store. She said she could not see the boy in the darkness outside because of the bright, fluorescent lights inside.

She then began to lock the door. "That's when the bullet went through the safety glass," she said. "It just went 'whoosh' into a million pieces." Roberts said she then realized she had been struck and still has a fragment from the bullet in her hip. Determining if there is enough evidence to conclude the boy might have committed the crime, called probable cause, is the first phase of the transfer hearing from juvenile court. The second phase will deal with whether the juvenile would be better served in the juvenile court system or whether he should be given an adult sentence.
