All of the victims met a woman online and went to her Southside apartment
expecting a sexual encounter. Instead, they were tied up and robbed.

One of the victims led police to the apartment of 27-year-old Melissa
Martinez, who had an online profile posted on Quest Personals, a singles
chat room. Police said they found evidence of the crimes in her apartment.

When Martinez confessed, she gave police the names of two men, Daniel
Hernandez and Jose DeLuna.

Hernandez and DeLuna were accused of roughing up the victims and holding
guns to their heads. Hernandez and DeLuna also confessed, police said, and
they told police about Valerie Solis, another suspect.

All four suspects have been charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
Police said they are looking for a fifth suspect.
