On June 11, 2016, Cynthia Janet Villegas-Hernandez, 34, and her four daughters — 14-year-old Yamilen, 11-year-old Cynthia Janet, 7-year-old Abigail, and 3-year-old Idaly — were found dead in their Roswell, New Mexico home after a relative saw a body through a partially open window and called police. Authorities say the deaths were caused by gunshots and that the killings occurred earlier that Saturday.

Police identified Cynthia’s husband and the girls’ father, 34-year-old Juan David Villegas-Hernandez, as the primary suspect. Court documents and reports allege he shot his wife and daughters, then fled in a red four-door Ford pickup with New Mexico plates. Mexican authorities took him into custody in or near Arizpe, south of Nogales, on June 12, 2016, and Roswell investigators began extradition paperwork.

Cynthia was reportedly seeking a divorce at the time. If anyone knew the family, saw the vehicle, or has information about the events that day or the days leading up to it, please share what is known with investigators.
