David Lueras, a 42-year-old Hispanic man from Euless, Texas, was among three people found murdered in Fort Worth in September 2021. His dismembered remains were discovered in a burning dumpster alongside the bodies of Maricruz Mathis, 33, and Lauren Phillips, 34. The killings and the condition of the bodies drew intense attention from local authorities and the community.

Investigators focused on Jason Thornburg, a 44-year-old who had been renting a room at the Mid City Inn in Euless. Thornburg reportedly confessed and gave disturbing details about the killings, including claims about religious motives and further mutilation of Lueras.

Lueras had a criminal history that included burglary, drug offenses, fraud, and theft. A cousin said Lueras had recently reconnected with family and had expressed fear for his life. Family members described profound grief and the long-lasting impact of the violence.

Does anyone have information about Lueras’s last known movements in Euless or contacts he made shortly before September 2021?
