Violence Against Women Update: Houston Mother Killed, Baby Kidnapped

Posted on | December 24, 2017 | Comments Off on Violence Against Women Update: Houston Mother Killed, Baby Kidnapped

 

Grim news for the holidays:

A Texas woman killed a mother and kidnapped her infant daughter in an attempt to cover up her own miscarriage, police say.
The murder and abduction triggered a nationwide Amber Alert for 6-week-old Shamali Flores, who was found unharmed Thursday.
Erika Miranda-Alvarez, 28, was arrested and charged with the killing of 33-year-old Carolina Flores, according to her arrest record.
Carolina Flores was found stabbed to death in an apartment complex in Houston Tuesday afternoon, according to police.
Flores’ infant daughter was nowhere to be found.
Flores had moved to the United States from Honduras five years ago for a better life, according to KPRC-TV. She had two other children, ages 7 and 17, the news station reported. . . .
Miranda-Alvarez, her boyfriend and baby Shamali were taken into custody early [Thursday] morning after witnesses reported suspicious activity at an apartment complex, police said. . . .
Investigators determined that Miranda-Alvarez was due to have a baby in January but had a miscarriage.
She reportedly hid the miscarriage from her boyfriend and continued to fake the pregnancy.
She had connected with Flores through her brother, police say. She killed her and kidnapped Shamali in hopes of passing her off as her own, according to police.

Feminists haven’t commented on this crime, for some reason.
