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*

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.

As referenced above in post #44, in today's press conference, CPD stated Samantha Cisneros is also known as Harley. Below are two of her social media accounts. On her current account, she uses her maiden name Robinson.

Noting:

Officials also said the fathers of the children have been working and cooperating with law enforcement.

So they got food and then went to dollar tree? Was the food hot/cold? What did they need at dollar tree when there are 5 puppies and 2 kids plus food in the car? Just seems odd! IMO
 
I'm sure they're keeping all that information under wraps, because it may be needed as part of the investigation.

I did read that they had two fast food meals, which they were presumably going to share with the 5-year-old, that were untouched.

If police found the puppies in the car, they would have taken them to the animal shelter.

"I promise the FBI will be with Clovis until we find Eleia (Torres) and we find the individual or individuals responsible for these horrific acts," said Raul Bujanda, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Albuquerque Division.

[...]

At 4:25 p.m., two males at Ned Houk Park found Taryn, Harley and Harley's 5-year-old daughter, lying next to a silver minivan and called 911.

[...]

Police said the suspect(s) could have been driving a maroon Honda car. Officers found a maroon piece of debris with a Honda stamp at the scene. But they are uncertain if its related.

[...]

They added that they ruled out the fathers of both of the children, saying they have been working with them so far.
 

“We have teams of professionals working around the clock from all over the country here in Clovis, poring over every bit of data, and using every resource at their disposal trying to find EMT and her abductor.”

Thron (PD) said investigators and canine units over the weekend searched in and around the lakes at Ned Houk and found no additional evidence.

*****
The 5-year-old was covered in blood and seriously injured. Thron said Sunday that family members asked no updates on her condition be released to the public. She was reported in critical condition Saturday.

Officials initially said she may have been struck by a car, but Sunday said she was shot, along with both women.

*****
A Cisneros’ family member on Sunday started a ____ page to help with expenses associated with her death and injuries to her daughter.

Organized by Cisneros’ Aunt Pamula Lerma, It reads:

“My niece, Samantha Harley Cisneros, was one of the victims at the Ned Houk Park on May 3, 2024. As a family we are left dealing with the tragic death of Samantha, her 5-year-old daughter fighting for her life and the search for her 10-month-old baby girl. Harley was a devoted mother to those two little girls of hers. Please anything helps.”

Maybe they were already on the way to the dollar tree and they stopped at the drive thru for the 5 year old?

This is just completely bizarre. Wondering if someone agreed to meet them at the park under the guise of buying a puppy but took the baby instead?? Like I was thinking of Bobbie Jo Stinnet but minus the pregnancy?

Perhaps someone had a beef with HC and pretended to be interested in the puppies? Maybe an angry side chick or gf of the children’s fathers?

Ugh, IDK this is an odd one. Taryn being killed and then the 5 year old being shot seems to point to a “leave no witnesses” mindset by the killer…
 
“As we speak, a five-year-old victim, who sustained a gunshot wound is recovering, is receiving care,” said Clovis Police Deputy Chief Trevor Thorn.

A witness nearby stated they heard gunshots that day, but they didn’t immediately report it.


Confirmation Harley's daughter was also shot. My God, what a cold blooded act. It would seem that taking the baby was the motivation for the murders, but that's not an absolute.

The 911 call came into dispatch at 4:26 PM when the bodies were discovered. But prior to that, someone heard gunshots but didn't immediately report. Wish they were more specific about the timing of that.

Trying to make sense of the order in the stops.

Taryn's last post, WOW - Log into Facebook

So the girls were either selling or giving puppies away at Walmart. LE doesn't know yet if they had been to Walmart, but I'm sure they are reviewing footage. It seems they may have grabbed lunch and went to the park to eat - maybe let the puppies out to go to the bathroom, but they never got the chance :(

Targeted by someone at the park?

that wasn't her last post - it's just pinned so everyone sees it and comments on it (it's actually from a year ago)
 
they might have just wanted to grab cheap drinks from DT (I don't always get drinks with fast food cause it's cheaper to grab one at the store) or needed something for the baby or a toy for the 5 year-old to play with at the park so one of them went in while the other stayed with the children and dogs

who would shoot a 5 year-old?!

Someone with rage and/or someone who felt they couldn’t afford to leave a witness.
