Texas man accused of disemboweling father, saying aliens harvested his organs
2025-04-19
[NYPOST] A man allegedly butchered his father and disemboweled him, telling police he thought aliens had harvested his father's organs, according to a report.

Jaime Adrian Contreras, 39, was arrested Monday after his father, 74-year-old Victor Gerardo Contreras, was found dead in the Texas home they shared, according to the El Paso Police Department.

Another son, who discovered the horrid scene, had not heard from his father in weeks and noticed the smell of ''rotting flesh'' emanating from the El Paso residence upon arriving for a wellness check, according to court documents obtained by KTSM.

After entering, the son noticed a blood-soaked sheet on the floor, and when he lifted it, he found his father's ''bloated'' body with an apparent head trauma, the documents stated.

The son had also noticed his father's Jeep Wrangler missing and had sent multiple messages to his brother, but received no reply, the outlet reported.

After further investigation, authorities found the victim had a slit throat, multiple stab wounds around his neck, and had been disemboweled, the documents said.

Detectives also found blood spattered throughout the residence after executing a search warrant, indicating a possible struggle, according to the documents.

Contreras and his father’s Jeep were located near the Hueco Tanks State Park. He had a swollen hand and a deep cut on his right pinky finger, which he said was a result of "battling," the outlet reported.

Contreras told officers he was "in heaven" when asked about the victim and told officers that an alien had harvested his father’s organs a few days ago, the documents said.

Another relative later told detectives that she had last spoken to the victim twice on April 5, when he told her Contreras was "acting crazy again," and was "threatening him and killed his pets," prompting him to call the police. He later called her to say the situation had been resolved, the outlet reported.

A neighbor had also spotted Contreras acting erratically and yelling on the street, according to the court documents.

In 2023, officers were dispatched to the home and were told that Contreras believed his father was an alien, according to court documents. He was spotted walking around the neighborhood holding a decapitated rabbit, according to the report.

He is being held at the El Paso County Jail on a $2 million bond.

#3  I'm confused as to whether he's talking about an illegal alien or a space alien. Not that a spacer couldn't be an illegal.

#2  What do you do to mad dogs that maul a child? We don't care about the mental state of the dog.

#1  He would seem to have a plausible insanity defense.
