HOLTS SUMMIT, MISSOURI: Elijah Juarez, 23, sported an awful smile in a mugshot after his girlfriend told police about texts where he told her that he needed to sacrifice something else as she had "failed the test."

His girlfriend, who asked to remain anonymous, also told detectives that he had raped her twice and hit her multiple times. 

Juarez, who is from California and is attending college in Missouri, faces charges of rape, sodomy, animal abuse, kidnapping, and domestic assault, among other offenses.

Authorities found parts of a 'mutilated and gutted' dog in Elijah Juarez's home

After hearing that Juarez had caused damage to a property, a property manager in Holts Summit, Missouri, called the police to report suspicious activity at the residence.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the property manager went through the house and discovered a bloody hatchet, the parts of a dismembered dog, and a significant amount of blood inside a garage.

After obtaining a search warrant, the officers entered the house on February 5 and discovered the bloody hatchet, dog testicles, and a black trash can containing parts of the dog's carcass. They also found the dog's head, paws, and internal organs in a freezer.

Additionally, there was a digital scale, baggies that are frequently used to distribute drugs, and a whiteboard that looked to have plans on how to sell drugs.

A veterinarian who arrived on the scene discovered the dog had been shot, mutilated, and gutted, according to the affidavit.

Investigators spoke with Juarez's girlfriend, who claimed that on February 1, he had slapped her, tugged her hair, and removed her false eyelashes. In addition, she said that he restrained her on a bed and kept the door from opening, preventing her from leaving, as per a report by Law & Crime.

Three days later, the victim went back to the house and discovered Juarez was sporting a black and red mask akin to the ones from the 'Purge' films.

She left because she thought it would be unsafe, but when she returned later to get her stuff, she told detectives that Juarez threw a bowling ball at the back windshield of her car. 

Elijah Juarez texted his girlfriend that she would be 'dying before her birthday'

Then, according to reports, Juarez started messaging her, telling her that "she failed the test" and "she would have been the sacrifice, but I had to sacrifice something else."

As reported by The US Sun, he then sent her images of the dog's mutilations, which police eventually discovered inside the house, and claimed to have offered the dog as a sacrifice to "Malek", supposedly a god of death.

The court documents noted that he also sent her messages stating that she would be "dying before her birthday." 

Juarez's girlfriend also accused him of raping her twice. Once, he tied her to a metal rack and recorded himself sexually abusing her on camera.

He allegedly even put a lighter to her hands when she attempted to flee, impeding her movement.

She also claimed that even though she had asked him to stop touching her, he forced her down and assaulted her. He then slapped her and threw water on her face.

Juarez was taken into custody by officers on February 12, and he is currently being held at the Callaway County Jail without bond.

He allegedly asked the victim to be uncooperative with law enforcement over the phone while in jail, which led to an additional charge of tampering with a victim in a felony prosecution.

Juarez has four warrants for his failure to appear after he was charged with indecent exposure earlier in February. His family apparently flew in from California and cleaned out his home while he was being held at the Missouri Psychiatric Center.
