Carina Saunders' Autopsy and a Swift Boat By Any Other Name: An Ugly Thursday

Grotesque things are going down.

In today's Oklahoman, Andrew Knittle writes that the Carina Saunders autopsy report has been made public. His story, which was contributed to by Tim Willert, sheds little new light on the brutal killing, although it fills in some of the gruesome details. The medical examiner feels there was some attempt, obviously not successful, to conceal Saunders' identity after her death. Her hands and feet were missing, she was, as we know, decapitated, and apparently there was an attempt to either remove a tell tale tattoo on her back, or at least disfigure it to the point of being unrecognizable. According to the story dental records were used to confirm it was Saunders.

Knittle's story quotes the report as saying, "The body parts were wrapped with plastic wrap, in a laundry bag and a duffel bag." It is believed she was alive when this barbarity began. The speculation remains that she was murdered simply so others would see what would happen to them if they didn't cooperate with the perpetrator's drug and prostitution business. There has been, however, a hint that Saunders was more than just a random selection for this ghastly crime. A July 24th story by The Oklahoman's Tim Willert, cites a woman named Stephanie Howard as saying one of the accused killers, Luis Ruiz had told her that Saunders was going to be "dealt with." Why Ruiz felt that way is a matter of pure speculation, although bets are the police know and just aren't saying at this time.

The issue of whether or not a video of the murder exists either on a cell phone, or other media is still dangling in the suddenly foul breeze. It is reported that a woman named Tia Downour, who was sharing a motel room with Ruiz at one point, snuck a look at his cell phone while he was in the bathroom. According to her someone had recorded Ruiz starting to dismember Saunders. Shaken, she turned it off as Saunders began to scream. So far there has been no word as to whether anyone else has seen the video, or if it still exists, or frankly, if it ever did.

What we do know right now is that Ruiz and Jimmy Massey have been charged with the murder and are currently awaiting trial. As repulsive as this saga is at the moment, it can only get worse as more details trickle out over the next few months. Jury members are going to need strong stomachs just to get through each day of the coming proceedings. This horror isn't for the faint of heart.

Meanwhile, on the national scene, the New York Times is reporting that a group calling itself OPSEC has established a web site. The site is currently running a 22 minute video heavily criticizing Barak Obama for a number of security leaks. The leaks have to do with the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and other security matters. According to the Times the video tries to portray Obama as a braggart who is shamelessly using national security issues for political gain.

The group is peopled with former CIA and special operations personnel and claims to be non-partisan. Well that would be non-partisan so long as you're are a screaming, bug eyed, right wing troll. A guy named Chad Kolton is the mouthpiece for this bunch. He was a former spokesperson for the Director of National Intelligence during the Bush administration. Other members include Benjamin Smith a former Navy special ops guy who also happened to be, for a while, a spokesman for the Tea Party Express. Also there is Scott Taylor who is the president of the group. Taylor was an unsuccessful republican congressional candidate in Virginia. In addition the Times points out the organization shares an office suite in Virginia with a republican consulting firm know as the "Trailblazer Group."

Kolton says that because the outfit is classified as an educational group they are under no requirement to list donors or the amounts given. The video reportedly carefully edits Obama's remarks to the nation after the bin Laden raid, deftly removing his reference to the "ten years of tireless and heroic work of our military and counter terrorism professionals."

Can you say swift boat?

On CNN, Admiral William H. McRaven, the man who oversaw the raid, was quoted as saying, "The president and his national security team--I'm not a political guy, but will tell you as an interested party--they were magnificent in how they handled it (the raid) from start to finish." He went on to say, "At the end of the day, make no mistake about it, it was the president of the United States who shouldered the burden for the operation, that made the hard decisions, that was instrumental in the planning process, because I pitched every plan to him."

In addition the Times reports that the Obama administration has "overseen an unprecedented number of prosecutions for press disclosures". In fact two months ago, Attorney General Eric Holder ordered two different U.S. attorneys to investigate the leaks these mutant clowns are just now complaining about.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at such a naked attempt to discredit Obama for an operation that, if it had failed, would have probably cost him the oval office. It is typical republican misinformation and deviant propaganda. Herr Goebbels would have been proud.

Yes, this has indeed been an ugly Thursday on two different fronts. Large doses of Dramamine and a Louisville Slugger will be required to deal with all those involved. Sometimes, in the end, they are the only things that work.

  1. Luis Ruiz is and was a wonderful guy because I knew him well for quite some time not long ago. I watched him help so many people in his neighborhood and thats something he had taught me. I did't understand most times how he could do it because they always showed no respect back and I have never seen a person so nice get so much bull said about him. He was extremely sweet and mild mannered. He liked to do so many fun things and was not caught up in any dope game. Those he helped were but he was not! He came from a neighborhood where many were into dope but he was always trying to look out for those in the guetto. I hung around him 24/7 and he was not into all that 'tweeker' crap like pulling licks as they say, we used to go to parks and explain things he used to do as a kid. We used to wash his truck alot and he liked to go to the Taco stands and we cruised 29th on Sundays. We visited old friends who had it hard and this one was an old white guy who was disabled and Luis helped him out because he said you cant forget those who have been there for you! Luis Ruiz was a wonderful man & a Awesome guy! He always has been & wasn't apart of that crowd but instead they were part of the neighborhood he lived and grew up in. This is crazy that because of that he somehow became part of that 'guilt by association'. Because thats all I see that man doing! He was too gentle of a guy.. . I knew him well

  2. Guilt by association? Then how do you explain all the news reports and court documents detailing Ruiz's criminal background? Or all the statements made by his family about his involvement with drugs? Or the fact that he was initially picked up on larceny charges in sw okc when he was arrested in connection with the murder? While none of these things necessarily suggest that Ruiz is a cold blooded killer, they do suggest that he may not be as saintly as you make him out to be.

    And even if he was as kind as you say, it's not unheard of for a "sweet and mild mannered" person to make some poor life choices, choices that lead them to being involved with and/or committing crimes like this. Addiction, fear, greed, power... all of these things can corrupt even the most altruistic of souls. Contrary to what most people believe, but "monsters" aren't usually born that way... they're made. Made by circumstances that are set in motion by a series of bad choices.

    Another thing to consider is that we often overestimate our ability to truly "know" someones character... How many times have we heard statements from the family/friends of someone who was convicted of some crime saying how shocked they were, because "he was always so nice/kind/quiet". Stories of the "good husband/father" who has secretly been killing prostitutes, or the well-loved parish priest who's been molesting little boys for years etc.

  3. INVESTIGATE THIS: Luis Ruiz was in jail those dates of October 11th & released early morning October 12th.. .

    If you wanna check into your investigator skills then find where in October of 2011 "Luis Ruiz" was in jail. Which he was indeed pulled over & taken to jail for a warrent on the day of Oct. 11th & released the next day Oct. 12th. Figure out this senario now & remember to take into account it takes hours before ever booked in or out in Oklahoma county & check out the area of where his car was when he was pulled over.. .

  4. NOW TELL ME HE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT BULLSHIT & YOU KNOW THIS.. .
    By the way the supposed witness to this video seen on his phone said she just heard that from a friend & since there is no such video & that also has never been found & the witness is not a witness but one carrying hearsay she heard to be then she is not even gonna be a witness for the state. So through this tell me how much of a retard you have to be to believe that he guilty coming out 10 months later because of one saying some shit like that? I KNOW he not apart of nothing! Somebody prove me wrong. I wager $500 bucks on this & at the end of this we will all see.. . WHO WANTS TO WAGER?

  5. I am Luis Ruiz’s last girlfriend and although we broke up in May this year I have to tell you this is a bunch of crap that any video was on that phone of his. I Bought his phone that he used all month of April & May & it was MY phone to begin with but only for a few days. I know the number used & all but it was lost about the 1st of June. The next phone was mine also & I still have it. That Bethany detective bugged Luis a lot & he knew Luis had no way been apart of it. They say they just now found the records where Luis was in jail that October of 2011 but I KNOW they have KNOWN THIS the entire time and before his arrest. !

    August 25 Stacy Privett
    Hey girl, this is .. well I guess you know. I stayed with you that night at motel across from the Bel Air that night back in May. I don't understand whats up with them saying you are the witness and also as to that which they state said. I would really like you to help me understand why this happened. I don't get it but I need to & I also know that this story is not at all true. Guess thats why I really am confused as to others who don't know any better. I am mostlikely the only one who knows to this as false but that was my phone even that he had been using technically whether I let him use or if I gave to keep. Not to mention I watched that boy like a hawk & always knew everyplace & everything he did. There is not one contact he called or had that I was not able to know & I even knew when & dates so as to who he hanging with & when. Trust & believe not a damn video of any kind could of even been on that phone & trust that there was no other. I KNOW THIS! I do not see what you may know & I know you have a secret to why this is being stated. CAN I PLEASE KNOW AS TO WHAT THAT IS TIA? Please girl.. .

    1. OKLAHOMA COUNTY vs RICHARD URRUTIA Jr. case# CF2018-4243

      This is the case I am working on now because he was illegally approached to begin with when he was searched, but all he has is a habit & it showed. Plus, he has always been in prison & just got out & that’s where that habit formed. Now they wanna give him 15 years back in prison for that when they should help him instead. He was incarcerated 22 out of 42 years of his life & they wish to put him back in for 15 years because he was caught with a bag of dope in his pocket.

      I know a man who was continually speaking to an officer from the Oklahoma city Sante Fe division on trying to get Richard arrested & the officer that came out to his place, I know, also spoke both English & Spanish. So, I figured that must be Officer Luna because the day of Richard's arrest, that officer aproached Richard & arrested him within a crowd of others because supposedly there was a parked stolen truck out at the gas pumps. The officer had no probable cause to arrest 'Pico' because the officer had not seen 'Pico' driving it & by the questions asked to both 'Pico' & the store clerk at the registar, nothing said Richard had driven anything. Of course that charge of Unauthorized Use of Vehicle was dropped once the officer testified but the dope found during what makes an illegal arrest in the 1st place held. Richard should of never been searched & now the D.A comes at him with 15 years on that. The officer stated at arrest that he going to charge him with whatever he can & the biggest he can.

  8. Now Possession is technically a misdemeaner now but Supposedly the officer weighed it out at 23 grams with the container, so they charged him with Trafficking even though there was not one single thing as far as scales, or baggies, or anything besides being a personal bag. Richard does not have a history of anything as that & now they are trying to give him 15 years on what was really just a possession charge & nothing more. They did lower it from Trafficking to possession but we're still going to make it a felony charge. Richard had a real good paying job but now he sits in jail for 8 months already because I can’t post bond, & regardless if they keep that possession a felony.., then why they still trying to offer 15 years in prison for something like that. ?? ? WHEN THEY LET EACH OTHER OFF MOST TIMES ON THINGS!

  9. THAT LEADS ME TO THE CONTINUED DISCOVERY OF THE LUIS RUIZ CASE THAT THIS ARTICLE ABOUT.. here that story!

      When I worked on defending Luis Ruiz a long time ago I never told people at the time, but it was because I knew the reason for all it was because the system was corrupt. I never wrote about it then because it was hard for me to accept myself, & I thought it just crazy people who thought stuff like that, & here I was knowing things like that for real.

      The one thing that never was exposed, & it's bothered me over the years that I never said nothing, which was what Oklahoma County District ATTORNEY'S office had also took part in when it came to the fraud in that case. It was not only the Bethany Officers who used the Carina Saunders to manipulate the people but the District Attorneys office did as well.

       I don't know who was all a part of it but I know that I had got all the way up to a Oklahoma County Districts Attorney by the name of David Prater.

      I am not sure what it is all about but supposedly they needed that case to win elections. Maybe the entire arrest was faked on purpose but I dont know that it was. I know that Derek Chance was Luis Ruiz's lawyer & they mentioned how they could not let him go until after elections. That's because the evidence they blasted on T.V was not true & they knew it & at one point I knew that even David Prater knew it was all fake, but they still had not let him go.  And the elections they were speaking about was because David Prater had just got in trouble for illegal compaign stuff & supposedly they needed to look like they caught that killer to overcross the publicity over that scandel.

  10. AND... .
      What the officers had done was they were raiding houses without warrants & using this case as a way to do it, by showing just cause to the public. ITS HARD TO BATTLE WHEN YOUR INCARCERATED. The house on 35th & Harvey was them chasing a drug ring & that's why when it shows arrests as being 4 Mexicans & a large quantity of dope in that house. 

       The case of Carina Saunders was known at the very beginning & the original detective that talked to all the original witnesses, & did all the initial investigating, already knew all the things they needed to know. It somehow disappeared. The reason it disappeared was because the government began going after something else.. .

       As soon as they realized that Jimmy Massey was tied to a drug ring that the F.B.I. had been chasing; then with Bethany Officers it became about that.  (Re-watch the news clips in order on that case & I could see that right there in the beginning.) 

      That's why it goes from already having the killers & the lady who cleaned it up named Rachael, with the evidence of blood & hair to prove it found in the freezer of an apartment, (the apartments off 15th & Portland, I think it was), to SE side of OKC & to 35th and Harvey area. It was really a raid where they busted pounds of dope & 4 Mexican men in that house & it was the drug ring they were chasing, & likely not where any girl died.

    And of course we know that because now there is a more rational story going on in that case which is nothing compared to the panic caused with all the places it was going before.

  11. NOW, the law is going to sit around & prosecute somebody for 15 years of their life for a possession charge in the exact same offices as the guys who are mentioned which are supposed to be the law, & enforce the law, but yet they can't follow by any laws themselves & find themselves free of any prosecution for what they do. DO THEY THINK THEY ARE GOD & DECIDE SOMEBODY CAUGHT WITH DOPE WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SYSTEM, & AQUIRED THIS ADDICTION THROUGH THE SYSTEM, DOES NOT DESERVE HELP COPING WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD HE HAS NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO BE IN YET. ?? ??

    RICHARD IS 42 & HAD BEEN OUT ALMOST A YEAR & SPENT 22 YEARS OF HIS ADULT LIFE INCARCERATED. HE HAS FORMED SCHITZOPHRENIA ISSUES & HAS HAD A VERY HARD TIME COPING.. So who are these corrupt District Attorney's to say let's just throw him in another 15 years!
