Albuquerque FBI Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda also said top priority is finding the baby and the person or people responsible for her disappearance, the murder of her mother and another woman, and the injury of EMT’s five-year-old sister.
After receiving a 911 call Friday afternoon reporting two dead women, responding officers found Samantha Cisneros, 23, and Taryn Allen, 23, both of Texico, NM, lying on the ground near a silver minivan in Ned Houk Park, about five miles north of Clovis. They also found the five-year-old girl.
During the news conference Sunday, officials referred to Cisneros with first name of Harley instead of Samantha.
K-9 and pond dive teams have scoured the surrounding area and have not found any additional evidence.
Deputy Chief Thron provided a more specific timeline Sunday, after authorities spoke with witnesses and family, and reviewed surveillance video. The two women and two children were first at a drive-in, then a dollar store before going to the park Friday.
Thron said a witness heard gun shots in the park, but did not immediately report this to police. At 4:25 p.m., a witness saw the two women and five-year-old lying in the park, then called 911.
As of Sunday afternoon, Deputy Chief Thron said the five-year-old girl is receiving care in a Lubbock hospital. He said they hope for a swift and full recovery.
An Amber Alert is active, searching for a 10-month-old girl.
