Ramon Ruiz Duran Jr., 44, was captured in Nashville on Jan. 12 and booked into a San Bernardino jail on suspicion of murder and conspiracy in the 2023 disappearance and death of Emilio Ghanem. Ghanem was a longtime member of His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, a Colton- and Hemet-based religious group linked to multiple deaths and disappearances; state and local authorities have arrested five members, including two leaders, in connection with the deaths of Ghanem and 4-year-old Timothy Thomas. Ghanem helped launch the group's pest control business, Fullshield Inc., left in April 2023, returned in May, received a cease-and-desist accusing him of stealing business, and vanished 17 days later. Last summer police found his truck and recovered ghost guns and automatic rifles during searches of group properties.
