You might have to answer a survey in order to view the article. According to Ariel's obituary, she is survived by her two children. I'm not sure if this case might have anything to do with her murder but one of the above articles mentioned it and I tried to find more info.
Man accused of stabbing arraigned
"I just want to tell the family I'm sorry," said Ariel Ulibarri, eyes welling and her body trembling.
"If I would have known," Ulibarri began, stopping a moment to choke back tears. "If I would have known, I would have… (tried) anything to stop it."
Several members of the Saiz family immediately began sobbing as police officers stepped forward to ensure safety for everyone in the courtroom. Ulibarri and her 5-year-old daughter were escorted to a conference room while family and friends, some still sobbing, filed out of the courtroom into the hallway to listen momentarily to District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Minutes later outside the court building, Ulibarri explained she was Sena's fiancé and not his wife. She said she had no idea of the trouble brewing the night of the killing, that she was at home asleep along with her two children, ages 4 and 5.
Ulibarri said she and Sena have known each other about 12 years and began dating about 10 months ago. She said Sena — a six-time felon out of prison less than three months when he was accused of killing Saiz — was recently picking up jobs as a tattoo artist around Clovis.
"He was good to me and my children," Ulibarri said. "My kids actually called him dad."
