Kidnapped baby girl found alive after Amber Alert was issued in Clovis, New Mexico

Authorities have found a 10-month-old girl from New Mexico after an Amber Alert was issued. The baby’s mother and another woman were killed and her sister was found injured in a park last week.

Police have taken a suspect into custody in connection with the case.

The girl, Eleia Maria Torres, was reported missing Friday in Clovis, New Mexico, about three hours east of Albuquerque. On Monday morning, Clovis police announced she had been found.

“Baby Eleia was taken to a local hospital as a precaution,” Clovis police said in a statement on Facebook.

Two women were found dead in a park in New Mexico

The investigation into her disappearance and her mother’s death began just before 4:30 p.m. Friday when someone called Clovis police and said they had found the bodies of two women in Ned Houk Park, a city park five miles north of Clovis .

Officers showed up to find two women with gunshot wounds on the ground next to a silver Dodge minivan. A girl was also found on the ground with a head injury. Officers began assisting the child, who EMS eventually took to Plains Regional Medical Center. The girl was later transferred to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas.

Officers also found a child seat, a stroller and a small baby bottle at the scene, leading them to believe there was an infant with the victims when they died. They searched for the infant and eventually identified the deceased women at the scene as Samantha Cisneros, 23, and Taryn Allen, also 23, both of Texico, New Mexico.

The 9th Judicial Major Crime Unit took over the investigation and interviewed family members, who told them Cisneros was the mother of both the girl found at the scene with a head injury and 10-month-old Eleia Maria Torres, who was nowhere to be found.
