Snared after naked prostitute escaped his clutches... BORDER COP BUTCHERED FOUR HOOKERS

-

DEAD Claudine Luera and Melissa Ramirez A BORDER guard has been nicked after slaughteri­ng four hookers – including a transsexua­l – in a two-week killing spree.

Juan Ortiz, 35, was arrested and charged with murder, aggravated assault and unlawful restraint.

The 10-year Border Patrol veteran fled state troopers and was found hiding in a truck in a hotel car park in Laredo, Texas.

Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz said investigat­ors have ‘very strong evidence’ that Ortiz was the killer of the four prostitute­s.

“We do consider this to be a serial killer,” Alaniz said.

Although authoritie­s haven’t revealed how he carried out the killings, cops say they were all killed in a similar fashion.

All the murders took place when Ortiz was off-duty and in his white four-door Dodge truck.

He was snared after he picked up a fifth woman, who later escaped his clutches while half-clothed and alerted police.

She claimed that Ortiz was a married father of two young children who tore her blouse when she ran away from his vehicle.

She said she became suspicious of him after asking him about the serial killings in Laredo.

“He picked [the fifth woman] up, she went willingly with him and then while she was with him things started to get dangerous for her and when she tried to escape from him at a gas station that’s when she ran into a trooper,” Alaniz said.

“In our opinion, he SHEER delight... that was

Ortiz launched his alleged spree of killings on September 3.

Two of the victims have been identified by local news sources.

The first was Melissa Ramirez, 29, a resident of Laredo, Texas, whose body was found on September 4.

The second was Claudine Luera, 42, who was found alive but in critical condition on Texas Highway 255, not far from where the previous body was discovered. She later died in hospital from fatal head trauma.

A third female victim is yet to be identified and was referred to as Jane Doe.

The fourth was a transgende­r woman, who police referred to as John Doe.

All four victims were prostitute­s in the Laredo area.
