Rodriguez Vega was later arrested for a second time on May 19, 1988. He confessed to the murders upon arrest and was mentally diagnosed as a psychopath. Despite the confession, he denied the charges upon trial and claimed that his victims died from natural causes, which was seen as plausible given the age range of the women that were murdered in his hands. He was sentenced to 440 years in prison.
