US Border Patrol Agent Arrested, Suspected Of Killing Four Women

[skews13]

Houston — A U.S. Border Patrol agent suspected of killing four women was arrested early Saturday after a fifth woman who had been abducted managed to escape from him and notify authorities, law enforcement officials said, describing the agent as a "serial killer."

Juan David Ortiz, an intel supervisor for the Border Patrol, fled from state troopers and was found hiding in a truck in a hotel parking lot in Laredo at around 2 a.m. Saturday, Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar said at a news conference in the border city about 145 miles (235 kilometers) southwest of San Antonio.

Cuellar said investigators have "very strong evidence" that he is responsible for the deaths of the four women, who are believed to worked as prostitutes.

"We do consider this to be a serial killer," said Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz.

In a statement, Andrew Meehan, assistant commissioner for public affairs for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said his agency's Office of Professional Responsibility, the U.S. Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General are fully cooperating with all investigators.

"Our sincerest condolences go out to the victims' family and friends. While it is CBP policy to not comment on the details of an ongoing investigation, criminal action by our employees is not, and will not be tolerated," Meehan said.

He referred questions about the investigation to authorities in Webb County and to the Texas Department of Public Safety, whose Texas Rangers are also investigating.

A Texas Department of Public Safety sergeant didn't return several messages seeking comment on Saturday.

Authorities didn't immediately disclose the victims' names or nationalities.

"The manner in which they were killed is similar in all the cases from the evidence," said Alaniz.

But both Alaniz and Cuellar declined to discuss the evidence or say how the women were killed.

Alaniz said investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the killings. He said all of the women worked as prostitutes.

Cuellar said investigators believe Ortiz acted alone.

Alaniz said his office plans to charge Ortiz with four counts of murder and one count of aggravated kidnapping.

Authorities planned to provide another update on the investigation on Monday.

An "intel supervisor"? What the hell is that? My guess is that Juan Ortiz is a Obama appointee who was hired as an interpreter".

I'm sure there are more of his dog buddies that have participated in serial killings.

Half the people in Texas are named Ortiz. The other half are from New York.

If that were true it'd be a blue state.

Ok, I might have been a little off on the numbers. But there are a hell of a lot of native-born Texans with Hispanic names.

And way too many New-York liberals.

That's how most cops go bad, When you have to work around all the lowlifes, criminals, street thugs, and drug dealers all day, some of it's bound to rub off on you. It just comes with the territory.

I sincerely doubt that you'd have the stones to do that kind of work.

Would you ever work?

Not after I realized that working was for people that wanted to make someone else wealthy. I prefer to keep the profits I generate. They call it owning your own business and loving what you do.
