A former porn star is among three people arrested for the murder of a man whose remains were found in a shallow grave in Florida this week, nearly two months after he was reported missing.
Jeremie Odell Peters, 43; William Shane Parker, 35; and his girlfriend, Lauren Kay Wambles, 23, have all been charged in the death of Raul Ambriz Guillen, 51, Holmes County Sheriff John Tate said.
Wambles has performed in more than 30 movies as Aubrey Gold, WTVY reported, citing the website IMDb.com. The movies were all made between 2015 and 2018 and are largely available through online subscription services, the station said. Wambles’ Internet Adult Film Database page lists 65 credits, Heavy.com reported, with more than 26 million views on PornHub.
“This is a very complex case,” Tate said at a news conference this week.
According to WDHN, the case began when a Jackson County, Florida, woman, claimed in May that she had been raped by Parker. Two months later, while that case was still under investigation, the same woman told detectives that she believed her roommate, Guillen, had been murdered, but she had no proof.
Jackson County deputies connected with Houston County, Alabama, deputies to investigate Guillen’s disappearance. Some time later, detectives uncovered evidence indicating that Guillen had been killed and buried in neighboring Holmes County.

“Basically, what we learned is they had been working a missing person’s case for a couple weeks, two or three weeks, and information had revealed that possibly the homicide had occurred in our county and also the body had been buried in our county,” Tate said.
Investigators learned that Guillen’s last known whereabouts were at Peters’ home in Graceville, less than a mile from Holmes County in Jackson County. He was believed to have been there with all three of the suspects. Detectives executed search warrants at Peters’ home and another nearby, finding evidence relating to Guillen’s death at both places. Then, with the help of cadaver dogs from yet another Florida county, investigators found Guillen’s body in a shallow grave in northeastern Holmes County, just north of Graceville.
All three of the suspects have been charged in Holmes County, Tate said, but only Peters — charged with being an accessory after the fact and abuse of a corpse — is in jail there. Parker, who is charged with murder, is jailed in Jackson County and awaiting extradition, and Wambles, charged with being a principal to murder, is in the Houston County Jail in Dothan, Alabama, awaiting extradition.
Tate said the investigation is still open and there could be more arrests.
