Irvine (CNN) As of early Sunday morning,

Irvine Police Department discovered another
body in relation to the ongoing murder
investigation. Despite efforts in increasing the
amount of officers on patrol, the body count
has been brought to five within the last three days. All victims have been
females with brunette hair.

The latest body was found heavily mutilated in front of the home of college
student who chooses to remain anonymous, in fear of being sought after. The
source found the body on the front porch while leaving to attend class. Despite
choosing to remain anonymous, the source was open to taking questions
regarding the experience.

At first, the individual was hesitant to call 911 in fear of missing class, so
pictures of the body and placement were taken instead. Once in class, a fellow
student saw the pictures on the phone out of the corner of his eye and called
the police from class.

After interviews with the police the story was

resolved, I was just so worried about making it to
class on time, I figured the pictures would suffice,
the source explained. The pictures have since been
confiscated and sent to the crime unit for further
investigation.

The source further stated that, It must have been a personal crime. This was
not a simple murder spree. She must have really angered someone in order to
get that destroyed. Same with the other women; none of this is random. This
insight from local students is just a speck in terms of the fear instilled in the
community.

Irvine is known for being one of the safest cities to live in and the terror of this
serial killer has already decreased city revenue. The vibe is so different around
campus, no one is ever alone or out after dark, the source added.

The search for the killer is ongoing and Irvine Police Department urges all
women to remain in groups and highly alert.

As of Monday morning, Irvine Police has the anonymous source addressed in

this article in custody for the murder of the latest victim and the other four.
