The leaders of a mysterious Inland religious group with ties to two missing men, along with a third person, were arrested on suspicion of murder in Hemet on Thursday, Dec. 11.

Authorities, beyond acknowledging the arrests, have been tight-lipped about the case. Carl Baker, a Redlands police spokesman, cited the ongoing investigation in declining to say who police believe are the victims. Two former congregants of the His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, Emilio Ghanem, 40, of Nashville; and Ruben Moreno, last seen in Claremont, remain missing.

Darryl Muzic Martin, 58; his 62-year-old wife, Shelly Bailey Martin; and 43-year-old Rudy Moreno were arrested on Pleasant Street in Hemet on Thursday morning, booking records in San Bernardino and Riverside counties show. All are being held without bail.
