FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - We now know the name of another victim of a suspected Tarrant County serial killer.

Through an official charging document filed with the Tarrant County Clerk's Office, we're learning that one of the two women Jason Thornburg, 41, is accused of killing inside his Euless motel room was Lauren Phillips.

The document had no other details about Phillips, including her age or where she lived.

It did say that she was the one out of the three who had been strangled.

The other two -- David Lueras, 42, and a still-unidentified woman -- had been slashed to death in what Thornburg described to police as a religious sacrificing ritual.

All three had been dismembered, and their remains were found in a burning dumpster in Fort Worth last month.

Thornburg also confessed to killing his roommate in Fort Worth, Mark Jewell, 61; and his girlfriend, Tanya Begay, in Arizona.
