Fort Worth police arrested a man in Euless Monday night in connection with three dismembered bodies, one of whom was a child, that were found in a dumpster last week, two law enforcement officials said to NBCDFW.com.
According to reports, 41-year-old Jason Alan Thornburg was booked into the Fort Worth jail about 11:30 p.m. Monday on a charge of capital murder of multiple persons.
On September 22nd, Fort Worth firefighters made a horrific discovery after being called out to a dumpster fire on Bonnie Drive south of I-30. When they put out the fire they made a shocking discovery, finding the dismembered bodies of a child, either a teenage or adult woman and an adult man inside.

The bodies were severely burned and some body parts were unaccounted for.
Investigators have identified the man inside as 42-year-old David Lueras, who was known to have ties in Dallas, Hurst, Euless and Bedford.
NBCDFW reports that two law enforcement officials who were not authorized to discuss the arrest publicly confirmed Thornburg was arrested at a Euless hotel Monday and later confessed to the three murders and possibly others in North Texas.
One source told NBC 5 Thornburg killed the three Fort Worth victims in a Euless motel and used crates from a home remodeling store to help store and move the dismemberd bodies.
