Last month, a shocking crime story from Albuquerque, NM, hit the news — one that the Chief of Police called “most gruesome act of evil” he’d ever seen.

While responding to an anonymous tip regarding a domestic disturbance, police uncovered one of the most brutal and sickening acts perpetrated in recent memory. They found the body of 10-year-old Victoria Martens. She had been brutally raped, mutilated, stabbed, choked, dismembered, and burnt alive, then been wrapped in a blanket.

Police said that Michelle and Jessica forced Victoria to take methamphetamine to “calm her down” while Gonzales assaulted her. Then they’d taken her life.

Martens, Gonzales, and Kelley have each been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated criminal abused of a child under 13.
