Authorities in New Mexico are searching for 10-month-old Eleia Maria Torres following a distressing incident where two women were found dead on May 3, 2024. The deceased, found with gunshot wounds in Ned Houk Park, include the child’s mother, Samantha Cisneros. An Amber Alert was issued as part of efforts to locate the missing infant believed to be in danger. A five-year-old girl, also found at the scene, was injured and hospitalized. Investigators noted signs suggesting a kidnapping, with baby items discovered in a linked silver Dodge minivan. The suspect, who remains unidentified, is possibly driving a maroon Honda car.

In a separate incident in Mexico, the remains of two surfers, believed to be Australian Callum Robinson, his brother Jake, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, have been discovered with gunshot wounds in Baja California. The bodies were found in a covered well on isolated ranch land, indicating a violent attack likely fueled by an intent to steal their vehicle. Three Mexican nationals have been detained in relation to the event, with charges including kidnapping and drug possession. The surfers had been missing, prompting their families to come to Tijuana for identification. This case recalls a similar occurrence in 2015 involving the murder of Western Australian surfers in Mexico. The incident has sparked additional concerns regarding safety for tourists in regions with high crime rates.
