Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, obviously, when you have somebody with a homicide warrant
on the run with a gun is a huge danger
to the community. We used tracking dogs, we used helicopters,
We used police on foot, you know what I mean,
search and searching rough terrain.
Speaker 1 (02:26):

from the public that someone matching Noel's description is on
foot and has crossed the state line in one hundred

With thank the community. We kind of moved in here
and we're walking their properties and kind of taking over
streets and things that we needed to do to successfully
resolve the incidents. We thank them. I'm sure it's a
tragic situation that's unfolding for him. He lost his wife
and now his son is looking at a significant amount
(03:11):
of jail.

Camilla Astraia, says they were on the phone making plans
to go dress shopping to wear to a family event
(04:01):
with Australia's boyfriend, and the last text Cammy sends to
her bestie by Cammy, I Love you. Astrea says the
two speak every day, so this sudden disappearance and lack
of communication is not something she would have ever expected.
The Bear County Sheriff's Office says Cammi Mendoza Almost is
last seen as she has captured on video outside the
(04:22):
house rummaging through her car before the footage cuts off.
And now the disappearance has left the community shaken and
the family desperate to find their nineteen year old community
college student aunt Nancy Almost, who took Almost and her
mother in when they first moved to Texas in twenty twelve.
Says they knew something was happening right away. This is
(04:42):

but when she was not back by nine point thirty,
the concerned mother called Cammy's cell phone, only to find
the phone was on Cammy's bed with no battery. Mom
calls police and investigators arrived with the cent tracking dogs,

their missing Persons alert, Camellia Almost is considered possibly endangered.

(05:28):
partially wooded area nearly two miles from the family home
and finds his daughter and her dog inside a maroon
pickup truck with a partially nude man helping his daughter
escape from the truck. Fleeing for their lives, the father
calls police and notifies them of what has taken place.
Investigators locate witnesses from the scene who provide deputies with
(05:49):
a detailed description of the vehicle, which helps locate the
truck and identify a man as Giovanni Rosalez Espinoza. Investigators
determine the suspect threaten the fifteen year old with the
knife and kidnap her from the street. Espinoza has taken
into custody without incident and has been charged with aggravated
kidnapping and indecency with the child. He's currently being held
