Apr. 21 Susana Torres loved ones are doing whatever they can to make sure everyone knows her name.
About 40 of her family members and close friends gathered Tuesday at the intersection of Hatch and Crows Landing roads dressed in white, holding signs demanding justice for the allegedly kidnapped mother. We all decided to come out here just because we haven t heard from her in a week, said Yazmin Cruz, Torres cousin. We have no news.
Torres, along with her 8- and 2-year-old sons, were allegedly kidnapped at gunpoint April 11 by Torres estranged husband outside Richy s Mini Mart. Torres had just taken a restraining order out granting her full custody of the 2-year-old, Chavez s son, after he allegedly tried to kidnap her in late March.
