God only knows what he did to them, the details of the scene don’t fully tell the story. Im horrified to think how frightened they all must have been.

I wonder if he really does have a daughter? How long hes been mentally ill and was he under some sort of treatment? How long was he committed back in October?

I was able to find him in a civil record in Fort Bend County. He does have siblings and parents.

Yes, I agree I want to know did he have a daughter who was kidnapped?
Does he have or ever had a daughter or is he delusional?

So, it appears to be random? Just noticed women with a baby, and he follows them to the park?

Good police work!

Starting to think maybe women should wear GoPro video cameras on themselves when they leave the house.

Nope. Men should be required to wear them, and fines, with prison if they don't. 99% of rapes are committed by men. 99% of home invasions. 80% of robbery, theft, murder.

Why should women have to wear cameras? For shopping with kids, going out to eat, and visiting a park?

Edit, I realize you didn't mean, mandatory...but really?! Why aren't women safe?

...except the majority of men aren't actually going to do anything like that in their lifetimes. Should women wear Go Pros in the hopes it prevents more single mothers from abusing and/or neglecting their kids?

Monsters are monsters.

These questions are really swimming in my head too....
If he has been crazy... his family might speak out. Sometimes they do when they think they can persuade people that HE didn't do these things, his personal devil did.

and he rented the car in texas, for a 2 day stretch? How premeditated was this? How random was this? So good to know the kids are being cared for.

 

[ms_x_to_the_m]

I want to know how he travelled with a baby and no car seat, no diapers, no bottle? Like did he just put baby in the passenger seat and drove like nothing? It's all so very strange.

If I recall correctly they said the car was rented over a month ago and was well past due to be returned

I think it said rented April 21, to be returned April 23. Will try to find a link.

ETA: past due for sure but still odd

I didn't say mandatory, just a suggestion for women's safety a few of my friends wear one when they jog alone.
Yes, men wearing cameras are even better but they won't esp if they want to get away with crimes.

In addition to all of the questions my fellow posters raised above, I want to know what brought him to New Mexico?

It seems all too specific and premeditated to be entirely random. How/why did he pick Clovis? It seems like a small town, 38k people?

Clovis is a city in and the county seat of Curry County, New Mexico.[4] The city had a population of 37,775 as of the 2010 census, and a 2020 census population of 38,567.[5]

Ha! I had to Google Clovis, too. And I Google Mapped the distance between Clovis and Abilene; it's 266 miles and at least a four-hour drive. We don't even know why he was in Abilene, because he's from the Houston area, which is even farther away. (His booking info shows an address in Houston.) So he was 622 miles and nine hours and 44 minutes away from home. Why?

Yes. It is very odd. Crime of opportunity? Or some sort of connection?

 

[grannygates]

Have we been able to locate any sort of court records that indicate he has a child? This article states he is from Manvel, TX so I searched Brazoria County and came up with nothing for family court records.

During the investigation, police learned Collins called the FBI's Nation Threat Operations Center in October 2023. He said if the FBI did not help him find his daughter, he was going to "murder a bunch of children."

Collins said when he called the FBI a few days earlier, he was told a case would be generated. Instead, local police were sent to his house and they took him to a mental health facility.

A source told KVII Collins then requested an Uber. He got in the black Cadillac with Torres and forced the driver out at gunpoint.

Abilene police stopped the car after he rammed one of their patrol vehicles.

The man's insane.

 

[airportwoman]

Perp is unknown to the victims, but they were able to find him 4 hours away very quickly? Something isn't adding up here.

I'm sure this story was running constantly on the media within a couple hundred miles of Clovis, and my guess is that someone who knew him saw him with a baby fitting the description of the baby in the Amber Alert, and turned him in, probably knowing that this could put themselves in great risk.

I know I said that already.

 

[airportwoman]

WHAT?! They didn't investigate his claim of kidnapping a woman and her son. Is this going to be the tip of a large iceberg?

I'm sure they're doing this. If it's true, it's possible that they were not injured and just wanted to forget about it, or perhaps were here illegally and didn't want to be deported.
