Juan David Ortiz fled from state troopers and was found hiding in a hotel parking lot in Laredo, Texas at around 2am Saturday
New details have emerged in the arrest of a 'serial killer' border patrol agent who launched a two-week murder spree, and was set to kill a fifth woman until she escaped his grasp and alerted authorities.
Juan David Ortiz, 35, was arrested on Saturday morning and by evening was charged with murder in the killings of four female sex workers, as well as aggravated assault, unlawful restraint.
The 10-year Border Patrol veteran fled state troopers and was found hiding in a truck in a hotel parking lot in Laredo, Texas around 2am.
Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz said investigators have 'very strong evidence' that he was the killer behind the four prostitutes - one of whom was a transgender woman.
'We do consider this to be a serial killer,' Alaniz said.
Although authorities haven't revealed how he conducted the killings, cops say they were all killed in a similar fashion. All the murders took place when he was off-duty and in his car - a white four-door Dodge truck.
He was outed after he picked up a fifth woman who later escaped his clutches and alerted police.

'He picked [the fifth woman] up, she went willingly with him and then while she was with him things started to get dangerous for her and when she tried to escape from him at a gas station that’s when she ran into a trooper,' Alaniz said to the Texas Tribune.
'In our opinion he is the sole person responsible for this horrific serial killing spree,' he added.
Ortiz launched his alleged spree of killings on September 3.
Authorities didn't disclose the victims' names or nationalities and they declined to discuss the evidence or say how the women were killed - but local media outlets have linked them to at least three bodies found in the area over the last two weeks.
Three bodies have been found in the northwest area of the county this month, Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar said.

The first victim was identified as 29-year-old Laredo resident Melissa Ramirez, whose body was found on September 4.
Investigators have not disclosed her cause of death.
On Thursday, 42-year-old Claudine Anne Luera was found fatally wounded off a roadway not far from where the previous body was found.
Luera was taken to a hospital in critical condition, where she was later pronounced dead from fatal head trauma.
Investigators are trying to determine a motive for the killings. It is believed Ortiz targeted these women and acted alone.
'It's interesting that he would be observing and watching as law enforcement was looking for the killer, that he would be reporting to work every day like normal,' Alaniz said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a statement saying that it was fully cooperating with the investigation.
'Our sincerest condolences go out to the victims' family and friends. While it is CBP policy to not comment on the details of an ongoing investigation, criminal action by our employees is not, and will not be tolerated,' the agency said.
An investigation is ongoing by Texas Rangers of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
