Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Firefighters discovered the remains of three bodies in a garbage can in September 2021. Investigations revealed that they were David Lueras (42), Lauren Phillips (34) and Maricruz Mathis (33). They were murdered, dismembered and stowed away in plastic bags in a garbage can.
The trail quickly led to Jason Thornburg. He rented a room at the Mid City Inn in Euless, Texas, and committed the murders there. The 44-year-old also admitted to eating the hearts of his victims.
Killed his own girlfriend
Police also determined that Thornburg was responsible for two more murders: of his girlfriend Tanya Begay in Arizona in 2017 and of his former roommate Mark Jewell in May 2021.
"Human sacrifice to God"
When asked why the 44-year-old committed such terrible acts, he replied: "They are all human sacrifices to God." A doctor diagnosed a mental illness.
If convicted of murder, two sentences are possible: life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
