Heather Willms and Esmeralda Herrera

Jose Baldomero Flores III, 41, was arrested in 2016 and pleaded guilty to the murders of Heather Willms, 21, and Esmeralda Herrera, 30.

In February of 2005, Willms was reported missing after she failed to report to work. It was later discovered that Flores sexually assaulted her and killed her inside her home. Texas DPS said he attempted to burn her body as a way to remove evidence.

Flores was identified as a possible suspect in the case, but was then stalled, and was not charged at the time, the release said.
In March 2011, Herrera was found dead inside her apartment in San Antonio “in a manner similar to Willms,” Texas DPS said. Her apartment was reportedly set on fire. Flores was arrested in connection with the murder, but prosecutors did not find enough evidence for trial.


The case was picked up by the Texas Rangers in 2015 who investigated the murders of both women. After unknown DNA evidence was found in Willm’s body, Flores was identified as the suspect in her murder.
Flores was sentenced to life in both cases

Both families of the victims were in court to hear the plea and then to face Flores during victim impact statements.

“Every fiber of my being wants you to suffer and live in fear just as my Heather did, just as Esmeralda did,” Heather Willms’ mother Donna Ellis said. “Today I take back my life, I forgive you.”
