Ramirez haunts the railroads. His first known Texas victim, Dr. Claudia Benton, was found 100 yds. from railroad tracks in West University Place, an affluent community in Houston. She had been sexually assaulted. All the others lived near or were found along the web of tracks surrounding Houston, one of which leads to San Antonio. Ramirez, says Cox, has a "fascination" for train travel. Ramirez is 38 or 39, and was first arrested when he tried to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. But he returned again and again. Ingenious enough to be issued a voter-registration card and driver...
Ramirez has taunted the authorities with conflicting clues. He all too obviously left the Honda Civic of his most recent Texas victim, Noemi Dominguez, near the international bridge on the border, indicating he'd fled into Mexico. Yet his suspected depredations also point north of Texas. Last week investigators were dispatched to Gorham, Ill., where George Morber, 80, and his daughter Carolyn Frederick, 52, were found beaten to death. They lived alongside railroad tracks. Ramirez is also wanted for questioning in the 1997 assault and murder of Christopher Maier, 21, a University of Kentucky student, who was slain...
...responsible for as many as eight murders in Texas, Kentucky and Illinois. But his uncle, whose name is Rafael Resendiz Ramirez, tells the Associated Press that his nephew's real name is Angel Resendiz Resendiz.

All of those concerns prompted the FBI in recent days...
After this summer's Lilith tour, McLachlan plans to take a break for a year or two to recharge her batteries at home near Vancouver and embark on a trek across India with her husband, drummer Ashwin Sood. "It makes sense to call this the last Lilith," she says. "It's incredibly rewarding to be part of something that is gaining women recognition, but it's also a huge amount of work." And too, she wants to devote time to another kind of creativity. "Some of us in our 30s want to have children, and we all realize that...
...image was riveting, as justice John Paul Stevens, a Chicago native, presented it. A gang member and his father are hanging out near Wrigley Field. Are they there "to rob an unsuspecting fan or just to get a glimpse of Sammy Sosa leaving the ball park?" A police officer has no idea, but under Chicago's anti-gang law, the cop must order them to disperse. With Stevens writing for a 6-to-3 majority, the Supreme Court last week struck down Chicago's sweeping statute, which had sparked 42,000 arrests in its three years of enforcement...
