How horrific! I just can’t wrap my head around how someone can do something like this!
New information is being released about the kidnapping and murder of Irene Luevano.
On Sunday morning, the family received a phone call from Luevano who said she had been stabbed in the neck by Lara and asked her family to call the police.
The family attempted to call her back but could not reach her.
Later that afternoon, Lara showed up at a Valley hospital with a “sharpforce injury” to his stomach.
When asked by investigators about his injury, Lara reported he was robbed and denied any altercation with Luevano.
During the investigation, detectives learned Lara’s cellphone and Luevano’s cellphone were “colocated” in the Phoenix area until about 5:30 a.m., at which point their devices separated.
Around 10:40 a.m., Lara’s device returned to the Phoenix area.
When investigators followed up on the location of Luevano’s device,
they located her vehicle in the area with a large amount of blood inside and outside of the vehicle.
Lara reportedly admitted to stabbing Luevano in the neck while driving in Phoenix.
He stated Luevano ran from the vehicle and he reported capturing her and putting her back into the car.
They drove out to western Arizona, where a further altercation took place and Lara was stabbed by Luevano, documents show.
Lara reportedly grabbed the knife from Luevano, cut her neck, and stabbed her multiple times.
Believing Luevano was dead, Lara dragged her into the desert and left her there.
