A 10-month-old girl abducted from a New Mexico park Friday has been found safe, authorities said Monday.
An Amber Alert was issued for Eleia Maria Torres after the baby’s mother and another woman were discovered dead and her 5-year-old sister was found injured in Ned Houk Parknear Clovis around 4:30 p.m.
The 10-month-old was found “through a collaborated law enforcement effort,” according to the Clovis Police Department. Police did not share where she was found or what condition she’s in, but said Eleia has been taken to a local hospital “as a precautionary measure.”
An unidentified suspect has been taken into custody in connection with the abduction. The Clovis Police Department previously said they believed Eleia was abducted by the perpetrator who killed the women and injured the 5-year-old child.
“We will release more details at a later time,” the department said.
