I think he was paying for their services. one link said that the victim that had escaped knew him for a few months and it was normal for her when he offered to pay her for sex. idk what made him start killing them tho. he said he didn't like sex workers and wanted to get rid of them yet he was partaking so im going to go w hatred for women.

Just looked again & he still is not in Webb County court site....
I put in his name - nothing, so I just put in his last name, still nothing.
Here's an article I got this morning. Nothing much new though.
Exclusive: Border Patrol 'serial' killer suspect may have used government weapon in killings

Looks like he wants his bond reduced....
Border Patrol Agent Accused in Killing of 4 Seeks Release
LAREDO – The attorney for the Laredo Sector Border Patrol agent who authorities said confessed to four homicides is requesting a bond reduction.
Juan David Ortiz’s attorney, Jose Salvador Tellez, submitted a writ of habeas corpus seeking bail reduction on Monday, Oct. 15.
Ortiz is held on a combined $2.5 million bond after authorities said he confessed to killing four people in a span of two weeks.
Telles stated they believe Ortiz’s detention is illegal because confinement and restraint without probable cause is a violation of his constitutional rights. The court document states the bond is excessive, oppressive and beyond what Ortiz can afford to pay.
[.....]
A hearing was granted and is scheduled to take place in Laredo’s 111th Judicial District Court on Oct. 17. There, the state is expected to show cause to continue detaining Ortiz.
Ortiz remains on indefinite leave without pay, as per the agency.
There a short clip from the tweet on this article, but I could not hear a thing!! His hearing was reset, but didn't hear the date....

Hmm... this is not on the court site as a hearing...
Border Patrol Agent Pleads Not Guilty To Killing 4 Sex Workers | Troy Business News
Juan David Ortiz, a U.S. Border Patrol agent, pleaded not guilty Thursday to capital murder in the deaths of four women, . His “killing spree” might have continued, prosecutors say, had they not caught a “lucky break” when a fifth kidnapped woman escaped and ed authorities.
I believe this "might" be an old article... but has the date of March 29 on it. Sorry - false alarm.
