Missing 10-Month-Old Child – In an incident that happened on Friday in rural New Mexico, two people are dead, a child is wounded, and a 10-month-old baby is missing.
On Friday, May 3, New Mexico State Police(NMSP) issued an Amber Alert for 10-month-old Eliea Maria Torres. Officials sent out the alert after the Clovis Police Department found the girl’s mom and another woman dead at Ned Houk Park.
The deceased victims were identified as 23-year-old Samantha Cisernos and 23-year-old Taryn Allen. A 5-year-old girl was also found injured at the scene. Authorities believe Torres should have been with her mother.
Eleia Maria Torres is 28 inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair. New Mexico State Police shared this photo of her with the Amber Alert.
Details remained limited during a Sunday press conference as investigators pleaded for information leading to Torres and those responsible for the senseless act of violence.
Further, Investigators said surveillance footage showed the victims had stopped for food before going to a store in Clovis. Later, two men entered Ned Houk Park and found Cisernos, Allen, and the young girl lying beside their van. A man walking in the park later told police he had heard gunshots but did not immediately report them.
Authorities said the 5-year-old girl was still receiving medical supervision but did not explain what injuries they suffered. The fathers of both children have been cooperating with law enforcement.
Deputy Police CHief Trevor Thorn said Sunday that investigators with New Mexico State Police helped search the ponds and surrounding areas. Those search efforts did not uncover any additional evidence.
Additionally, authorities obtained surveillance footage that showed victims stopping for food before going to a store in Clovis. The FBI and Clovis police are now asking anyone with information to come forward, noting that no tip is too small or insignificant.
