Luis Ruiz, 37, allegedly tortured and slaughtered Carina Saunders, whose remains were found stuffed into a duffel bag behind a grocery store in Bethany, Oklahoma in October 2011. Authorities believe Ruiz, a father of five, murdered Saunders to scare female witnesses so they would cooperate with a drug and human trafficking ring he was allegedly involved in.

Just a day later, police arrested Ruiz on drug-related charges, but he was later released on bond.

Police already had a warrant for his arrest on a murder charge. The arrest was made possible thanks to a confidential witness who told detectives she was kidnapped last October and brought to a house where she was forced to watch Saunders being tortured and cut into pieces, News 9 reported. According to court documents, police combed through the apartment at the Will Rogers Court Housing Complex and found blood and hair in a freezer, as well as a blood-stained knife.

Neighbors said the house was known in the area as a drug den and possibly a brothel filled with women. Ruiz’s brother, 21-year-old Jorge, told ABC News the suspect used to teach at Columbus Enterprise Elementary School in southwest Oklahoma City. 'I don’t want to believe that he didn’t do it. I still think he’s innocent, in my eyes,’ Jorge Ruiz said.

His brother also believes that since he moved to Oklahoma from Texas about six years ago, he had been involved with prostitutes. Jorge Ruiz said the 37-year-old suspect has three daughters with one woman, a son with another and possibly another child with a third woman. The brother also said that he may have seen Luis with Saunders. He said the photos of the 19-year-old looked similar to a white woman the 37-year-old used to 'hang out with.'

Four of the suspects remain in jail for drug-related crimes, but they have not been charged in connection with Saunders’ murder.
