Investigators in Texas say Border Patrol supervisor Juan David Ortiz killed four women who worked as prostitutes in a ‘cold and callous way’; William La Jeunesse reports from Los Angeles.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent accused of killing four women was indicted Wednesday on a capital murder charge, officials announced.
Juan David Ortiz, 35, was arrested in September in Laredo, Texas, and initially charged with four counts of murder, aggravated assault and unlawful restraint in the deaths of the women, but Webb County prosecutors upped the charges after he allegedly confessed to the killings.
