Texas man faces federal kidnapping charge in NM killings
Alek Isaiah Collins, 26, appeared in Abilene Texas on a federal kidnapping count linked to the killing of two New Mexico women near Clovis and the rescue of a 5-year-old girl. He had already faced state murder charges in the deaths of Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, both 23, whose bodies were found May 3. The 10-month-old was found unharmed with Collins three days later. The motive remains unclear.
