NM - 10-month old baby ET safe after 5yo child injured, mother and friend murdered, suspect in maroon Honda, Clovis, 3 May 2024 *suspect in custody*

[Unalienable Rights]

Wow! I was just away a short time and was surprised to see the good news that broke while I was gone. That was really fast! Congratulations to LE for excellent work. I hope the baby is OK, but I think it would have been mentioned if she was not. It will be so interesting to hear the steps that were taken to find the suspect. Was it someone known to the mom? were they followed by a stranger? was it someone encountered at the park? was there a tip? were finger prints or DNA left behind? was something seen on a camera? So many questions. Praying the sister will make a full recovery and that baby is unharmed.

Moo..the 5 yr old was probably cry and making noise which would attract people. Shooting child would give shooter more time to disappear..moo

I spent the morning searching online around the area of the park/drive thru/looking for the dollar store trying to figure out the path they took. I did see a gun/shooting range ( 2 actually) less then 10 miles from the park so my head was thinking a crime of opportunity however now I'm thinking someone could have reported a person who all of a sudden showed up with a baby? Agree with above, could be someone who knows the mom and knew that baby would be with her. IMO

I’m wondering if one or both of the women posted on social media which Walmart they planned on going to? Perhaps someone acquainted with them who lurked may have seen this as the perfect opportunity to snatch up the baby.

Or maybe there was a plan to meet at the park to sell a dog? This is anyones guess IMO

I think it's good to remember that statistically it's most likely these crimes were committed by a domestic partner/parent. But we shall see.

 

[Mack the Knife]

Amazing that baby ET has been recovered unharmed and a suspect taken into custody. SO little information about the suspect though.

Specifically, I’m wondering if they think their suspect is it, or if anyone else was directly involved. Doesn’t seem like there has been a statement on potential danger to the public, and I do think a hypothetical second suspect would be a danger to the public in this situation. It continues to nag at me though that three people were shot in public and someone heard gunshots but no one heard screams.

This article says that the baby was recovered out of state. It also says that the two murders and the injuring of the 5 yo child are still being investigated.

Clovis Police Department gives update on 10-month-old found safe after abduction, double homicide

The Clovis Police Department announced that it will host a press conference on Monday afternoon to give an update regarding the 10-month-old who was found after previously being abducted from Ned H…

www.bigcountryhomepage.com

During the news conference on Monday, the Clovis Police Department released the identity of the alleged suspect in the investigation.

According to Clovis Police, Alec Collins was taken into custody on Monday. Collins was charged with two open counts of murder, one count of kidnapping, and two counts of child abuse.

 

[Unalienable Rights]

Just watched the press conference. The suspect is a 26yo man who apparently has no connection to either of the women. LE is processing evidence and is still investigating for a motive. They want his picture circulated and ask that anyone who recognizes him to contact them. District Attorney said that there will probably be federal and state charges in addition to the charges he announced.

I don't see a link for a replay of the news conference yet, but I'm sure it will be posted soon on YT.

WHY in hell did this happen.

 

[x_files]

good points
I wonder if there's another parent in the mix
or could it have been just an obsessed weirdo who wanted her baby

Custody issues? oh wow, no relation to the child...ok.

 

[floridafreshsqueez]

what on earth?! So was this guy some kind of serial predator? I guess we’ll find out…

 

[Sjöberg]

This really is unexpected. Is it some irrational behaviour caused by drugs or psychiatric problems? Or/and had he lost his own child and flipped? Or/and a predator of some sorts? It does not appear as if he needed the baby for someone else, though I guess it is still possible.
The why is really confusing here.
