Father accused of abducting 3-year-old Millbrae girl
(KRON) — A San Francisco father is being held in jail with $5 million bail after he allegedly kidnapped his 3-year-old daughter in Millbrae and took her to Mexico. Victor David Enriquez, 36, is scheduled to appear in court Thursday for a preliminary hearing in San Mateo County court. On New Years Day in 2023, Enriquez went to his daughter's mother's home on Magnolia Avenue in Millbrae for one of his court-ordered visits. According to prosecutors, Enriquez was allowed to visit his daughter for two hours three times a week. The young girl lived full time with her mother, and her father did not have legal custody beyond visitation rights. The father took his daughter and drove her from Millbrae to San Diego before they traveled into Mexico, prosecutors said. After the girl went missing, San Mateo County Sheriff's Office investigators learned that the father had previously used the Internet to research 'child abduction,' the District Attorney's Office wrote. U.S. federal authorities worked together with Mexico City police to find the 3-year-old and her abductor.

Southern Minnesota woman believed to be the only known person with unnamed genetic disorder
One Fairbault, Minnesota, woman says every day is simply a "gift" as she's the only known person in the world with her unnamed genetic disorder. "I was told that she probably wouldn't make it past a year. And she's 26 and we don't know what the future holds for us," Iris Enriquez's mother, Daisy Slack, said. But for certain, the future will be filled with love. Enriquez lives with chronic kidney disease, neurofibromatosis, which causes tumors to form, scoliosis and Raynaud's phenomenon, causing temporary spasms of blood vessels. But on top of all that, she was born with three holes in her heart and has an unnamed genetic disorder, putting this Minnesotan on a global magnifying glass. "They broke it all down and they told me that she was the only one in the world. And I said, 'How could that possibility be?" Slack said. It's caused by a duplication in her 13th chromosome. "She knows that she's different from other people, but that difference is a gift," Slack said. The two peas in a pod make the best of it. Slack adds that her daughter's passions in life are to be around people, listen to music and she loves mascots and animals. Enriquez surrounds herself with people while working at First Baptist School in Rosemount with her mom. "Iris is more than my daughter. She's actually become a teacher to me and so many others, and actually saved my life," Slack said. She's been that teacher since Slack had Enriquez when she was just 17. "It forced me to grow up and get away from the things that I was doing," Slack said. "(There were times) When I wanted to quit and felt very weak and couldn't stand on my own feet, I would pray to God." She says their faith helps them get through. "When I see her smile... my world's okay," Slack said. Enriquez was born at 3 pounds and 1 ounce and has the mentality of a kindergartener. She's also survived possible skin and breast cancers. Slack says the nonprofit "Hope Kids" has been a lifeline for the two.

'Despicable and disturbing': Gila Bend man accused of felony animal abuse
The Brief The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says it made an arrest in a major animal abuse case on April 9. John Jackson of Gila Bend is accused of several felony animal abuse charges. The sheriff's office called it "one of the most disturbing things we've come across." MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. - A man who the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says has been evading arrest was taken into custody and is accused of several felony animal abuse charges. The sheriff's office detailed the case in an April 9 news conference, saying John Jackson, 38, of Gila Bend, was arrested following a tip from a neighbor. What we know He had reportedly been on the run from authorities since April 5. He was arrested on April 9 in Avondale near 99th Avenue and McDowell Road. Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Jeff Gentry called it "one of the most disturbing things we've come across." Sgt. Enriquez credits a neighbor, near 299th Avenue in Gila Bend, for sounding the alarm on the abuse that he described as "despicable and disturbing." The dogs reportedly didn't have any food, water or shelter. "Food, shelter, water, that's what needs to be provided," Sgt. Enriquez said, citing Arizona animal abuse laws. He says Jackson was using unspecified social media accounts to sell dogs, such as French Bulldogs and Cane Corsos. He says no information points to Jackson selling the animals for dog-fighting purposes. Jackson was allegedly selling the dogs to people in Arizona, and possibly out of state. "It's my understanding he's been doing this for a while now," Sgt. Enriquez said. A neighbor told investigators that they hadn't seen anyone at the home for at least two weeks. As for the conditions of the dogs who survived, Sgt. Enriquez says they have several health issues, including parvo, worms, eye infections and more. They're getting round-the-clock care by a veterinarian team with MCSO. "We're hopeful that they all pull through," Sgt. Enriquez says. "Deputies discovered that the homeowner was absent, with indications that they had been away for weeks. The dogs were found confined to outdoor kennels without access to food, clean water, proper shelter, and covered in feces. Detectives immediately sought a search warrant to enter the property and remove the animals to ensure their safety. Inside the residence, Cane Corso puppies were discovered, along with what appeared to be the deceased mother dog. Additionally, multiple dogs were found in the yard some of which were confined in the side yard. Of the confined dogs, seven were in terrible condition, having resorted to feeding on the remains of two deceased dogs," MCSO said in a news release on April 9. Dig deeper MCSO says this isn't the first time Jackson has been accused of animal abuse. "We do have information that he was charged with animal cruelty in another county here in the state," Sgt. Enriquez says. He didn't specify which county. Right now, Jackson is facing felony animal abuse charges, and MCSO expects him to face more charges. "Additional charges are pending ongoing necropsy, veterinary and medical testing," MCSO said. The sheriff's office says it plans to "make it a very prosecutable case" and will work with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. What's next "Three deceased animals were transported to a veterinarian for a necropsy to determine the cause of death," MCSO said. The dogs are being held by MCSO's Animal Safe Haven as evidence while they get the care they need. "Just because dogs don't speak doesn't make them any less of an issue for us. OK? This is a very serious issue, and we continue to investigate these crimes no matter what," Sgt. Enriquez said. "This can't happen without the public's help," Sgt. Enriquez said, emphasizing the importance of the phrase "see something, say something." If you have any information about this case, or any other reports you'd like to make to MCSO, call 602-876-8477. You can also send a tip using the online portal by clicking here.
