Jesten Mata, 40, of Grants, New Mexico, was one of four people found murdered when human remains were discovered inside a pickup truck parked on the top level of the Albuquerque International Sunport garage. The truck was checked on March 5, 2021, after security officers noticed a foul odor; inside were the bodies of Mata, his girlfriend Jennifer Lannon, 39, their friend Matthew Miller, 21, and 60-year-old Randall Apostalon.

Authorities focused on Jennifer’s ex-husband, 47-year-old Sean Lannon. After his arrest, Lannon told investigators he killed Jennifer at the family home in Grants in January 2021, then later lured and killed Mata and Miller, dismembered the three victims and placed their remains in plastic bins. He said he met Apostalon in Albuquerque, killed him with a hammer when Apostalon refused to help move the bins, and left all four bodies in Apostalon’s truck at the airport before fleeing the state.

If anyone in the Grants or Albuquerque area has information about Mata’s movements or associations in January 2021, please share what you know.
