FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – The man accused in the deaths of three people found in a burning dumpster last week, Jason Thornburg is behind bars.
The 41-year-old electrician’s apprentice is charged with capital murder of multiple persons. He has also admitted to killing another woman in another state.
Crime scene detectives are still searching the motel room in Euless Thornburg shared with one of the victims, David Lueras, 42. Public records show Lueras has a lengthy criminal history, including charges of fraud, drug possession, and theft. Police did not have a definitive home town, but said he frequented areas near Dallas, Bedford and Euless. Police have since identified the other two victims as adult women. Thornburg told detectives he knew the women “casually.” The Tarrant County Medical Examiner will later release their identities.
The grisly discovery came on Sept. 22 outside a business in the 3100 block of Bonnie Drive in West Fort Worth. Firefighters responded to the dumpster fire just after 6:15 in the morning. Once it was put out, they found body parts inside. Fort Worth Police and homicide detectives were called to the scene. The bodies were badly burned and heavily dismembered, and there are body parts missing, police said.
Police are asking anyone with information to call Fort Worth Police.
Thornburg’s bond is $1 million.
