Police say a woman found dead in her home in Albuquerque was the mother of four children who were recovered unharmed in Las Cruces.
A caller reported Tuesday morning that a woman was killed or injured in her home and family members told police that four children were missing.
Police spokesman Tanner Trixier says the children were found in a vehicle with a suspect on southbound Interstate 25 about 10 miles north of Las Cruces and that it's possible the suspect was headed to family in El Paso.
Trixier says the woman and suspect were in a romantic relationship and that the suspect is the father of three of the children. He's in custody in Las Cruces.
No identities were released, and it's not yet known how the woman was killed.
