“In all of my 25 years I’ve seen a lot of evil, and I’ve seen a lot of crime scenes and crime scene photos,” said Chief of the Trial Bureau for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, John Jordan. “I had never seen a crime as brutal as this one.”On Feb. 4, 2014, Cervantes’ mutilated body was found inside a vacant Clear Lake area apartment. A satanic symbol was carved into a wall and an upside-down cross was carved onto Cervantes’ stomach.
“Candy sometimes allowed teenagers to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol in her apartment,” court documents read. Jordan said while the encounter may have begun as consensual, something happened that forced Cervantes to defend herself. “For those days after this murder, we didn’t have any suspects. The community was freaking out, not knowing what we had, and the initial checks of DNA didn’t seem to suggest we had anything. Nobody had seen anything, so we were worried, ‘Are we going to get anything?’” Jordan said.
Jordan said the girl told the officer what Reyes said and within hours police had a warrant for his arrest.“He does give a statement, but we don’t use it because he was in custody and he wasn’t properly read his Miranda warnings,” saidHowever, Jordan said Reyes implicated Alas in the murder. Alas was a juvenile at the time the crime was committed, but was later certified to stand trial as an adult.
“No, that’s a lie. I did not, I did not do that. I would not sell my soul to the devil,” Alas told detectives.“He said he was going to sell his soul to the devil, but I’m not selling my soul,” Alas said.
