The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says a western Kansas mother and her 4-year-old daughter have been found dead, and the woman’s boyfriend is in custody.
The man reported 31-year-old Kayla Vasquez and 4-year-old Aalilyah Vasquez, of Spearville, missing on Wednesday. The KBI says Ford County Sheriff’s deputies and Spearville police saw evidence that a crime had been committed and detained the man for questioning. Kayla Vasquez’s body was found early Thursday in rural Ford County. About 90 minutes later, her daughter’s body was found in Kinsley, about 20 miles northeast of Spearville in Edwards County.
Autopsies are scheduled. The boyfriend was arrested on suspicion of capital murder.
