Charges Dropped in Bethany Murder and Dismemberment
Two men who were charged with murdering and dismembering a Bethany woman both have their charges dropped.
On Friday, the state dropped murder charges against Jimmy Lee Massey and Luiz Ruiz.
19-year-old Carina Saunders' body was found dismembered in a duffel bag near a Homeland Grocery store in Bethany in October 2011.
Massey is still being held on unrelated drug charges. Ruiz is not facing any other charges at this time and has been released.
In July 2012, two men were charged in her murder. Jimmy Lee Massey and Luis Ruiz were both arrested and charged with first degree murder.
Earlier this month, it was announced the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was helping Bethany Police investigate the murder of Carina Saunders.

Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.
The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.
Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.
One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.
Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.
Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.
