While the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office did not specify where Mathis had lived, KRLD has learned through social media that she was originally from Dallas and lived in North Richland Hills.

The other two victims are David Lueras, 42, of Midlothian; and Lauren Phillips, 34.

No hometown or residence was listed for Phillips by the Medical Examiner's Office.

Mathis, Lueras and Phillips were all killed inside a room at the Mid City Inn in Euless.

Their dismembered remains were found in a burning dumpster outside a business on Bonnie Dr. in Fort Worth on September 22.

Jason Thornburg, 41, is suspected in the murders of all three, confessing to investigators that he was performing biblical sacrifices on them.

Fort Worth Police say Thornburg also admitted to killing his roommate, Mark Jewell, 61; as well as his girlfriend Tanya Begay, 36, of Gallup, New Mexico.
