Seven-year-old Abigayl Villegas-Hernandez was found dead in her Roswell, New Mexico home on June 11, 2016, one of five family members killed in what investigators described as a familicide. Also found shot in the head were her mother, 34-year-old Cynthia Villegas, and Abigayl’s sisters: 14-year-old Yamilen, 10-year-old Cynthia Janet, and 3-year-old Idaleigh.

Police say the investigation quickly focused on the children’s father and Cynthia’s husband, Juan David Villegas-Hernandez. Investigators report Cynthia had recently asked for a divorce, which they believe was the motive. A witness said the husband was seen acting strangely and loading items into his truck the afternoon of the slayings, refused the witness entry, and threatened to kill himself. A written message found on a door inside the house apologised and said the writer intended to commit suicide.

Authorities located and apprehended Juan David Villegas-Hernandez in Mexico several days after the bodies were discovered and extradited him to the United States to face charges; he later entered a no-contest plea to five counts of first-degree murder and received five life sentences. Does anyone have memories of this family or saw activity around their Roswell home in the days before June 11, 2016?
