An infant girl who was abducted from a park near Clovis, Mexico, has been found safe, and a suspect is in in custody, the FBI in Albuquerque said Monday. Clovis police said 10-month-old Eleia Maria Torres has been taken to a Clovis-area hospital as a precautionary measure.
No other information was immediately available. New Mexico State Police had issued an Amber Alert late Friday for the baby.
Authorities still are investigating the deaths of two women whose bodies were found at the park Friday along with a 5-year-old girl who was critically injured.
Police have identified the dead women as Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, both 23 years old and from Texico, New Mexico.
They said Cisneros was the mother of the baby and the 5-year-old girl who remains hospitalized.
At least one of the women was fatally shot and the 5-year-old girl had a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Her name has not been released.
Police said a witness who was walking in the park "believed he had heard gunshots, but it was not immediately reported to law enforcement," CBS affiliate KLBK-TV reported.
New Mexico State Police said the fathers of the girls were cooperating with investigators and were not believed to be suspects in the double homicide case.
Authorities said the women were found at a city park about 5 miles north of Clovis with their purses and belongings near their bodies, and a silver Dodge minivan belonging to one of the women also was found at the scene.
Officers also discovered an infant car seat, a stroller and a small baby bottle at the scene.
"Officers immediately began searching the area for the infant," police said.
According to the initial Amber Alert, the suspect was possibly in a maroon Honda car.
The FBI and Clovis police previously had asked the public to come forward with any tips or leads and FBI Special Agent Raul Bujanda said no detail was "too small," KLBK-TV reported. Bujanda called the slaying "horrific acts."
Clovis is located in eastern New Mexico close to the Texas border.
