He committed his crimes by winning the trust of his victims while working as a city bus driver.
All were young women whom he raped and then killed out of fear they would report him, he confessed after being recaptured.
Only one of the victims survived the rape, but only because the criminal went away thinking she was dead.
Legorreta still has trials pending for a homicide in Mexico City and for the rape of the young woman who survived.
