"There is something the matter with me." - What he said right out of the blue one day to his common-law wife, Julieta, back in El Rodeo, Morelos, Mexico where they lived.
"It's better to run. I cannot stand prison. They're after me and I have no choice. If they find me, let them kill me." - What he said to his common-law wife, Julieta, after he had told her that United States law enforcement officials were looking for him in Mexico.
"Can all this be done very quickly so I can say I'm guilty?" - What he asked a judge in court.
"Many will ask how I could do this while believing in God, and all of that. It's not that I'm a person totally outside the system. I'm a person who is part of the system. When they killed those children in Waco, that affected me greatly."

"I could feel that there was something bad there. And after entering, I confirmed that yes, something bad had passed there... something dark, something satanic, something malignant." - About the homes of his victims.
"Nobody seems to be interested in these cases. One thing you can take back on this case, they can never prove one case that I've claimed that I haven't done." - About murders he admitted to, that other prisoners were found guilty of beforehand.
"It doesn't cost money and once you know the routes, they're faster than Greyhound. You see six engines hooked together... you can get to California in two days. Less than six engines, you're not going anywhere." - About riding freight trains.
I was a PRoFessoR at a Catholic College in Mexico.

I just ask you to forgive me and ask the Lord to forgive me for allowing the devil to deceive me. I thank God for having patience for me. I don't deserve to cause you pain. You did not deserve this. I deserve what I am getting." - What he said to the relatives of his victims, before his execution in prison.
