December 1998: a man slipped undetected into the home of 39-year-old Claudia Benton. By the time he fled the scene the mother of two had been brutally beaten, sexually assaulted and fatally stabbed. The killer was a man known as Angel Resendiz, who had been illegally boarding trains across the US border from Mexico for over 20 years.

RESTIVO, DANNY: The Haircut Killer TV - Phil James - Evil Up Close: Fetishist Killer TV - Guardian online - Britain’s Most Evil Killers TV - Unsolved TV -
This is one of the most chilling scenes ever captured on video. Actual footage of a serial killer on the prowl. He was a killer driven by a bizarre fetish to acts of unspeakable cruelty. He left sinister clues beside his victims designed to baffle forensic scientists. His crimes sparked a huge international manhunt in a killing spree which stretched from a seaside resort in England to a small town in southern Italy.
