Texas to Execute Killer Before All Victims are Known

Sister of Death Row Inmate asks Texas to Stop Execution of the Man who Could Still Clear Her Brother

June 16, 2006

Hello,

My name is Delia Perez Meyer. I have an innocent brother on Texas’ Death Row, Louis Castro Perez. Our family has been fighting for Louis for the
past 8 years to attempt to find the truth is this case.

The Travis County District Attorney, Mr. Ronnie Earle, recently announced that they would re-open this case and do some further testing on DNA evidence and
fingerprints acquired at the crime scene. This includes foreign DNA and foreign fingerprints. This is currently being tested at the Texas
Department of Public Safety DNA Laboratory, and we are awaiting the results.
We have had multiple reports from the infamous railroad serial killer, Angel Maturino Resendiz, that it was he who killed Louis’ friends in September 1998 – Michelle, Cynda, and Cynda’s daughter, Stacy. The “MO” or modus operandi, in this case, matches exactly the other crime scenes for which Angel has been connected to. He is a brutal murderer and this
was a heinous crime just like the many others he is responsible for. In addition, Michelle, Cynda and Stacy lived within 1/2 of a mile from the railroad system in Austin.

Angel Maturino is scheduled for execution on June 27, 2006 for the murder of Dr. Claudia Benton. Mr. Resendiz has also discussed murdering “two
women” in Austin with private investigator, Lisa Milstein, and newspaper reporter, Lise Olsen (both of Houston). He has also spoken to other inmates on death row, and said he was the killer in this case. He
recently spoke to the media and confessed that he has killed other people; cases that have not been fully investigated.

Because Angel Maturino Resendiz is related to this case we are adamant that he should not be executed on the 27th and are asking for your assistance to ensure that he not be executed until this case is resolved.

If we execute Angel, it prevents the court from ever being able to ask him any questions regarding this case. Justice for the victims’ families is not being served if the wrong person is being executed for these murders.

We want to see justice served for all the persons involved and we want the actual killer to answer for his crimes. Technically, the families of the victims have the right to witness the true murderer’s execution and they will not be allowed that right if Angel Maturino is executed on the 27th.

We would like for you to take a few moments to call, write, or e-mail a letter to Louis’ attorneys, the Board of Pardons and Paroles, Judges, District Attorney, and the Governor.

We sincerely appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and actions surrounding Louis’ case. Louis is so appreciative of everyone’s support and always asks me to convey that message. We need to bring him home to his four children and two grandchildren who have grown up for the past 8 years without him. It is
time to exonerate Louis and ensure that the true killer is brought to justice.

Sincerely,
The Ernest R. Perez Family
Ernest, Gloria (deceased), David, Delia, Irene, Louis, and Ernest, Jr.
