I worked for communications for the Brownsville Police and had a briefing from BPD detectives concerning the incident,in Matamoros, because of the severity. I was advised that cannibalism was part of the rituals of the cult, including the eating of body parts as the victim watched. This briefing was in the morning of the day of her arrest. Later that day, the arrest happened that afternoon at Texas Southmost College, which I also witnessed. Brownsville Police and Cameron County Sheriff's Office working with the Matamoros,MX, Police Department believed at the time that cannibalism was a part of the rituals performed and did not have sufficient cooperation from the suspect, Sara Aldrete to confirm her specific involvement, nor confirm her story with others. She denied all involvement until she supposedly confessed later. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-05-11-mn-3459-story.html

Lt. George Gavito was the lead investigator with the Cameron County Sheriff's Office in Brownsville Texas. The split personality may have been a factor in the initial denial of accusations as suggested by the LA Times article. Different aspects of Santeria are practiced, sometimes innocently to all the way to violent dark magic, all over Mexico and in various Hispanic families. It is my belief that Constanzo may have adulterated rituals for shock value, by adding cannibalism to sell his services to drug dealers and criminals as protection. ~2026-23330-53 (talk) 23:29, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Three unsourced and contradictory sentences
