It was devastating to hear that a group of three mothers and six of their children were massacred in Mexico. Who would have thought that the day, while they're on the way to visit their family, will later become a moment of sorrow?
Three cars carrying women and 14 children. They were en route to the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua not knowing that a group of criminals was about to attack them. One official says that the attack is planned and targeted ahead of time.
This is the most recent information about the family massacred in Mexico.
Alex LeBaron, a family member, stated that the victims were shot in the car and burned alive. The family has dual citizenship of US-Mexican citizens and member of an agricultural Mormon-sect community. The age ranges from 8 months to 43 years old.
They ranged in age from 8 months to 43 years.
A 30-year-old-mother, Rhonita Marie Miller, was driving with some of her seven children. They are going to Arizona to come and get her husband, Howard. He was in the US for work. This was statement was told by her sister-in-law, Kendra Lee Miller.
Kendra Lee Miller that Howard was fixing Rhonita's malfunctioning vehicle, saw a fire, didn't think anything of the incident.
But that burning and the explosion that came with it were coming from the three cars carrying the mothers and their children. It was alarming.
Kendra's dad, a couple of uncles, and other family members rushed upon the car to check on the vehicle. Disturbingly, they found burned corpses and ashes of the poor victims.
Rhonita was massacred in Mexico along with four children as young as her 8-month-old twins, 10, and 11.
It was supposedly a special moment for Kendra's wedding next week and should be the very reason why they visit.
Howard was able to save the others by hiding them in the bushes

Dawna Ray Langford, 43, was driving the second car to go visit family in Chihuahua with her nine children.
Dawna was shot to death along with two of her children. Two young boys at the age of 2 and 11 died with their mother.
Even though the situation is frustrating, Devin Blake Langford, a 13 year-old-boy, was also able to save his six surviving siblings in bushes. The teen covered them with branches, Kendra Lee Miller said in the post. He had no other choice but to walk 14 miles long to the La Mora community to ask for help and brought the news about the tragedy.
His uncles armed with guns, returned with the boy and find the surviving kids. It is too risky for them to get too far as the shooting continued for hours all over the mountains near La Mora. At the end of searching, six children were found alive.
Another woman named Christina Marie Langford Johnson died in the incident. She was driving her car near Dawna's. Christina was with her 7-month-old baby to meet his husband and other children to move to North Dakota. The little girl was found alive and uninjured. It seems that she was moved to the floor for protection. Until her last breath, the mother thinks of a way to save her daughter.
