Two people were arrested Monday in connection to the death of two children and the abuse of a third child, the Redding Police Department said.

Plumas County sheriff's deputies arrested Tami Joy Huntsman, 39, and Gonzalo Curiel, both of Quincy, Calif., on charges of felony child abuse, torture and mayhem, police said.

A child abuse investigation that was opened Friday in Plumas County lead to the discovery of the bodies of a 5 year old and 3 year old in the storage unit.

A third child -- a young girl found severely abused -- is fighting for her life after undergoing surgery.

Unimaginable! Poor babies. :( I guess it isn't clear yet whose children they actually are.

Linked below is another story with a little more information about Tami Huntsman (aka Criswell) and the investigation in Salinas. It says that the "incident" did not take place in Salinas, and Salinas police are working with Redding and Plumas county LE.

The two children have not yet been identified, but 17-year-old Gonzalo Curiel and 39-year-old Tami Joy Huntsman—recent residents of Salinas—have been arrested in connection to the murders.
Salinas police combed through the couple's house in Salinas, in the 500 block of Fremont Street near North Madeira Avenue, on Monday night. It is not yet known how long the couple lived at that house.

It mentions that her brother started a gigantic fire in 2014 called the King Fire (the article mistakenly called it the King City fire).

Here is a story about the King Fire her brother started, quoting her as Tami Criswell.

I also found her FB which says that she had a child in 1994 and works at "being the best Mom I can be." Her brother's photos are on the page, so I know it's the same Tami. There is a photo of her with a blonde little girl.

So far, I haven't found anything about Gonzalo Curiel.
 
Quincy (in Plumas county) where JH and GC lived, is about 140 miles southeast of Redding (Shasta county) where the bodies were found. Quincy is a small town a little over 1700 population. Redding is almost 90,000.

Salinas (in Monterey county), where JH is from, is near Santa Cruz and Monterey, south of the SF Bay Area. The population is around 156,000.

NBC News reported when investigators went to Huntsman's apartment, they discovered a young girl severely abused. She was taken to the hospital; her condition is unknown.
Police said further investigation into the suspects led to the discovery of the toddlers' bodies.

According to this article Huntsman is an extended relative of the children, all of whom are siblings.

Ugh, I have no words... at least none I'll use in mixed company
 
I wonder if Huntsman is an extended relative, therefore not their mother, if she's their grandmother? God, please don't let that be!
 
She is some sort of relative, apparently had custody of the children. What were they doing to the children? Two are dead, third severely injured and had to have surgery.
 
This is absolutely horrible! My heart breaks for those children!
 
On December 11, 2015 Tami Joy Huntsman (39 years of Quincy, CA) and Gonzalo Curiel (17 years of Quincy, CA) were taken into custody by the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office. They were booked into the Plumas County Jail on charges of: Felony child abuse, torture and mayhem. The victim’s name is being withheld at this time.

Further investigation ultimately led to the discovery of two deceased juveniles inside of a storage unit in the city of Redding. The two juveniles have not been identified at this time. This case is being investigated as a homicide with an autopsy pending.

Huntsman and Curiel are recent residents of the Salinas area. The Redding Police Department is working in conjunction with the Salinas Police Department and the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office following up on potential leads.

9:20 p.m. update: One child connected with the investigation and child abuse arrests is in the hospital in critical condition. Two others were found dead in a storage unit in Redding. Investigators in Salinas, California were searching an apartment that belongs to a relative of the murdered children.

Sources have confirmed the children's bodies were found at a storage unit at 2887 Tarmac Road in Redding.

Words cannot begin to describe the overwhelming sadness and grief I feel for these children. Praying for the survival of the one in critical condition. And knowing that the two that were tortured will never feel pain or sadness again. May they rest in the arms of the angels.
As for the perps, there is no punishment great enough for them on this earth.:burn:

Heartbreaking. Two dead babies and a third still fighting to live. Why must these monsters keep having children? And in this case, passing them off to other monsters who have no regard for their well-being.

What is the age of consent in Ca? In several articles posted above, they refer to this 39yr old woman, and 17yr old kid as a "couple". For me, that just adds to the disgusting nature of this situation.

Yes, it is disgusting. He's younger than her firstborn. The age of consent is 18, so she would be in trouble for that even if they hadn't been arrested for murder, torture, etc. Her oldest child is 21, assuming it survived to adulthood.
 
There are lots of details in this Plumas county article that I haven't seen elsewhere.
The surviving 9 year old child was found seriously injured and starved at 40 lbs on the floor of a car. Twin twelve year olds were taken from the home. Huntsman is reportedly their mother. She is the aunt of the nine year old and her guardian after the child's mother committed suicide two years ago. Intensive questioning of GC led LE to the storage unit Sunday evening. TH has not been cooperative. They just moved to Quincy this month and we're staying with a friend. The children had not gone to school. The children in the storage unit have not been accounted for after questioning family in Salinas...so at this point it's either unknown who they are or LE isn't saying.
More at the link including a mug shot.

I'm heartbroken and furious.

I cannot even wrap my head around this. I am so angry! Those poor children. And what do we not know??

I doubt we know the half of it. When they tell us how those two babies died, it will get worse, I'm sure.

I'd like to know who the friend they were staying with is and why they moved to Quincy this month. What does the friend know? Huntsman' arsonist brother has a burglary arrest in Plumas county. Is this one of his friends?

Were the children already dead and they dropped them off at a storage unit before coming to Quincy? They have rented it since December 4, but didn't arrive in East Quincy until December 7.

Crying! Didn't anybody see/hear this going on. Why is life so unfair for so many innocent children? Who have no voice or choice. I hate it.
 
Can't imagine any scenario why the "friend" they were staying with didn't report her to authorities ASAP. They should be arrested as well.

The condition of the 9yo child found in the car is just horrifying. Horrifying doesn't even describe it.
