[Sugar Cookie]

Authorities in Texas made a gruesome discovery when three dismembered bodies were found on fire in a dumpster in Fort Worth.

Firefighters were called to the scene of the reported fire early Wednesday morning, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.

After putting out the fire, they found the bodies of a child, a teenage or adult female and an adult male.

Police said the bodies were “heavily dismembered and there were body parts unaccounted for.”

One of the victims was “tentatively identified” as 42-year-old David Lueras. Police reported that the conditions of the bodies have made identification difficult.

"I know that he was scared and I know he knew somebody was after him to get him," Lueras’ cousin, Aaron Torres, said.

Torres said he hadn’t heard from Lueras in years, but added that the 42-year-old recently re-connected with some of their family members in an attempt to hide out of state.

"He wouldn’t tell us their names," Torres said.

He said his cousin came back to North Texas, where he had lived off-and-on for 25 years.

"Whoever did this definitely wanted to make an example out of him," Torres said.

Luera’s cousin said he doesn’t know who the other two victims might be.

"Only God knows the truth, you know, we’ve just got to keep investigating," he said.

Police remain tight-lipped relating to the investigation. It’s unclear where the triple murder took place or how the victims are related.

Lueras had an extensive criminal history, including burglary, drug, fraud, and theft charges.

"Got lost with the wrong crowd," Torres said.

"But I know he went over there to go hide," he explained.

Fort Worth police did not provide any updates when reached out to on Sunday.

Jason Alan Thornburg, 41, was booked into the Fort Worth jail about 11:30 p.m. Monday on a charge of capital murder of multiple persons.

Police in Fort Worth on Wednesday found three bodies in a dumpster on the city's west side after firefighters responded to a report of a fire. One of the bodies was a young woman, possibly a teenager, and a child, whose gender was unknown.

The third victim was identified as 42-year-old David Lueras who had a long criminal record and had ties to Dallas and northeast Tarrant County, police said.

Fort Worth police waited until Friday to publicly acknowledge the triple murder and ask the public for help.

Two law enforcement officials who were not authorized to discuss the arrest publicly confirmed Thornburg was arrested at a Euless hotel Monday and later confessed to the three murders and possibly others in North Texas.

One source told NBC 5 Thornburg killed the three Fort Worth victims in a Euless motel and used crates from a home remodeling store to help dismember the bodies.

Thornburg was convicted in the city of Rhome in 2018 on a charge of evading arrest, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety, and was paroled in June 2020.

Wise County District Attorney James Stainton said Rhome police tried to pull Thornburg over on Highway 287 for a broken tail light and he ran from officers. He was sentenced to two years in prison based on a prior criminal history, Stainton said.

Thornburg's connection to Lueras or the motive for the murders wasn't immediately clear.

Man Arrested in Triple Murder in Fort Worth; Dismembered Bodies Found in Dumpster

Jason Thornburg admitted to killing another woman in another state and a 61-year-old Fort Worth man in May. He said he slit the man’s throat, then uncapped a gas line and lit a candle in the room… all as a human sacrifice, according to the affidavit.

Also in the affidavit, Thornburg said he has an in-depth knowledge of the Bible and believes he was called to commit human sacrifices.

Crime scene detectives are still searching the motel room in Euless Thornburg shared with one of the victims, David Lueras, 42. Thornburg told police he believed Lueras needed to be sacrificed. Thus, he cut his throat and cut Lueras into pieces in the bathtub. Thornburg kept the remains in trash bags several days before getting some Rubbermaid type bins to store them in.

Police have since identified the other two victims as adult women. Thornburg told detectives he knew the women “casually.” Again, though, he believed both women needed to be sacrificed. He slit one of the women’s throats and put her body parts in a storage bin. Two days later, according to the affidavit, the second female victim showed up at the hotel room and stabbed, then strangled her. Her remains also went into a storage bin.

God only wants unblemished sacrifices. These psychopaths seem to have way too much energy. I'm more of a shallow grave sort of lazy killer.

The arrest of an accused serial killed in Fort Worth could be an answer to a four-year search for a missing woman in New Mexico.

Tanya Begay disappeared in March of 2017 while on a road trip with her boyfriend at the time, Jason Thornburg.

The car they were driving was later found abandoned, and Thornburg was questioned but released, according to missing persons posters from the case.

Begay, a mother of two, was never seen again according to posts on social media from family members over several years.

Police in Gallup, New Mexico took the missing person report at the time from Begay’s mother, and a spokesperson said Wednesday, Sept. 29, that Navajo Nation police were the lead agency investigating the case.

An arrest warrant for Thornburg in Fort Worth says he told police he had “sacrificed” a girlfriend in Arizona at some point.

Fort Worth police declined to give any other details on the case.

A man who burned to death in his bedroom in west Fort Worth in May was a victim of a serial slaying suspect who killed three people and set their bodies on fire last week, police alleged on Tuesday.

Mark Jewell, 61, died of thermal and blast injuries in a house in the 4500 block of Valentine Street, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office, which classified the manner of his death as undetermined.

Before the triple homicide last week, police had connected Jason Thornburg to the May 21 death of Jewell, who was his roommate, but concluded that they did not have probable cause to arrest him, Fort Worth police homicide unit Sgt. Joe Loughman said as he described detectives’ work in the cases.

After Thornburg admitted to the September killings, in an interview with detectives, Loughman said, the discussion turned to Jewell’s death.

“We were able to get Mr. Thornburg to admit to that being a homicide as well,” Loughman said. “He provided information that only someone that was involved in the offense would be able to provide to us.”

Thornburg told police he sliced Jewell’s throat and started the fire by uncapping a natural gas line and lighting a candle in the bedroom, according to an affidavit supporting an arrest warrant in the Bonnie Drive case.

Firefighters found Jewell’s body in the bedroom were the fire originated, according to a Fort Worth Fire Department report.

The home exploded minutes after Thornburg left for work, police said.

Loughman declined to describe motives for the killings in which Thornburg is a suspect. A detective wrote in the affidavit that Thornburg also admitted to killing his girlfriend in Arizona and that Thornburg said that he has in-depth knowledge of the Bible and said that he “believed that he was being called to commit sacrifices.”
