Second Amber Alert in New Mexico in 24 hours
This is the second Amber Alert in New Mexico in the last 24 hours. The first one was issued after the abduction of Zuriah Castillo and Jaylynn Miller. The teenagers were last seen at a gas station on the Santo Domingo Pueblo.
A photograph of Pinto, along with his car details, was a part of the alert that was sent across. Authorities say Pinto was in a maroon 1991 Cadillac Deville with New Mexico license plate 514WML. However, Pinto has argued that he had nothing to do with the kidnapping and was let off by the police after relaying his side of the story. Police are yet to respond to his claim.
Zuriah Castillo is 5'5", weighs 130 lbs, and has shoulder-length bleach blonde dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white v-neck t-shirt and black jeans, according to Missing Kids. Jaylynn Miller is 5', 112 lbs, has shoulder-length brown hair that's been dyed red, and has brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, black jeans and Vans shoes.
Pinto called the police immediately after seeing his name on the alert. “I didn't do any of that. I didn't kidnap anybody. I didn't take no little kids,” he said while pleading his innocence in an interview with KOB. Pinto was in the company of the aunt of one of the girls and she got a call from one of the teens to ask for a ride to some place in Albuquerque. “So she asked me 'Can we go up to Santo Domingo to go get her?' I says ‘Yeah, let's go,’” he told the outlet.
Pinto made an immediate call to the police after seeing it and is not in custody at the moment. “I'm right here. I have nothing to hide. Guilty people don't talk to police. Guilty people don't call the police. Guilty people don't do interviews,” Pinto said. He also told the outlet that the police didn't try to establish contact with him before sending out the alert.
