Authorities in Tijuana, Mexico are untangling the complicated skein that an assassin wove after discovering five corpses in different states of decomposition in a house in the border city. The bodies include those of an elderly couple from Southern California who mysteriously disappeared on January 10.

The macabre finds were made after Jesús Rubén López Guillén, 70, and his wife, María Teresa López, 65, were reported missing by their daughter after they traveled to Tijuana on business.

Norma Lopez, a resident of Garden Grove, Orange County, south of Anaheim, reported her parents as missing after hearing from them.

"They own property in Tijuana and they went to a place to collect the rent and take it to a bank and to where there is a place to change [currency]," Lt. Carl Whitney of the Garden Grove police told People. "They were just going to change the money, then go around again and go back."

López explained that he tried to rub his parents with his iPhone and that he located a sign from one of the properties of the now deceased, located at 145 Donato Guerra Street, according to The San Diego Tribune.

María Teresa López and her husband, Jesús Rubén López Guillén, disappeared on January 10:

Last Friday the authorities were able to rub the couple to said house, where security cameras indicated that they were inside the house.

In this place resided Santiago "N", 37, a daughter-in-law of the couple, who apparently helped them with their properties in Tijuana. A search of the house produced the discovery of the bodies that were buried inside the house.

But the macabre findings did not stop there: on Saturday the Tijuana police discovered the body of a woman and the body of a man buried in the same place.

Initially, the police suspected that Guillén and López had died due to a money dispute with their son-in-law. But with the second finding of a fifth body - that of an as yet unidentified man, found this Monday - it has fueled suspicions that it is a possible case of serial murders probably perpetrated by Santiago "N", who according to the prosecution "He is in preventive detention for the crime of forced disappearance of people."

All the bodies were found buried in different points of the house with signs of violence. One of them was covered with sand and one of the women was covered with lime. All the bodies were wrapped in plastic bags.

Hiram Sánchez Zamora, Attorney for the state of Baja California, assures that at the moment the suspect will face charges for the murder of his in-laws. However, he added that the police are investigating reports of other disappearances that occurred around said home where people were attracted by alleged advertisements for the sale of cars so that they would not be seen again.
