I socked her a couple times in the head
and yet no effect at all.
She's a super woman.
>> On July 21st, [music] 2023, in Las
Cruces, New Mexico, officers were sent
to West Picacho Avenue after a woman
called 911 to say a complete stranger
had gone [music] through her car in a
hardware store parking lot. The
stranger, later identified as Beatrice
[music] Diaz Ward, was convinced the
woman was hiding her missing daughter.
And when she could not find the girl,
she reached back into the car, took
[music] the woman's iPhone, and walked
away with it. One officer went looking
for her on foot across a railroad
crossing that [music] had shut the road
down behind him. He found her three
blocks away and what happened in the
next 90 seconds would leave two people
bleeding [music] in the middle of
Picacho Avenue.
>> I am on Picacho over by Neca's Cafe and
a woman has just taken my telephone away
from me because she believes I have her
daughter.
And she is walking across the street now
towards Neca's and she has my phone in a
pink case.
And I'm trying to follow her because
she's got my phone.
>> Okay, and she just barely took it?
>> Her name Her name is Her last name is
Moore.
She says that she's looking for a
daughter named Kayla Sanchez that she
insists the military has taken away from
her up the street there. I've left my
vehicle wide open and I'm trying to
follow her because she's got my life in
that damn telephone.
And uh
>> Do you know her? How did she get your
phone?
>> No, of course I don't know her. She just
walked up to me randomly on the street
as I was getting in to the car at
Johnston's Hardware here on Las Cruces
on Picacho Avenue.
>> Okay, ma'am. Well, officers out there,
okay?
>> Okay, she just knocked me down. No, I'm
not okay.
The woman has my telephone in the pink
and pink case that's about to cross in
front of where the train is coming,
where all the cars are stopped.
Okay, she's going to be on the other
side of the train tracks in a minute.
And she
She's still got my phone. I got her
jacket, but she still got my phone.
>> Okay.
>> I'm not okay.
>> Which way is she heading?
>> I'm sorry, what?
>> Which way is she heading?
>> East.
>> East, okay.

on foot. The
railroad tracks are down.
>> 80 mark stated that she saw her cross
the railroad tracks.
Heading toward
the park.
>> I'm direct. There's no train going
through, so I think
it's just stuck. [music] So, I'm going
to go on foot.
I'm direct. And she was hanging around
the park last time we talked to her.
>> Affirmative. Just a questioner about her
daughter, Kayla.

my RP is claiming that she was asking
for help for her daughter.

Nobody had taken [music] her full
statement yet.
>> All right, Miss Henson. Do you want to
just from the beginning just tell me
everything that happened?
Did it happen So it happened here at the
>> No. No.
So I I I came out of Johnson's Hardware
with a gallon of paint in my hand. My
phone had a little lock mechanism that I
had them fix for me in the other.
And I went to my car.
I I opened up the car
on the side where I was going to put the
paint in, which was the passenger front
seat.
And I was going to I cleared that out a
little bit to put the cuz my car's just
a mobile storage unit, right? So I
cleared that front part out, put the
paint on the can paint can on the floor,
and I had the door open. And this woman
is approaching from the north on 3rd
Street on the side of the street where
I'm parked, not on the sidewalk but in
the street.
And she's already talking to me, but I'm
a little hard of hearing, so I can't
really hear what she's saying, but I was
pretty sure she was talking to me.
When she got closer to the car, I said,
"Are you speaking to me?" And she said,
"Yes, I want my daughter."
And I said,
"Okay.
I don't know anything about your
daughter."
>> Yes, you do. You She's in your car.
You have her in the car. You have my
daughter in your car.
>> And you have no You have no idea who
this lady is. Okay.
>> Call 911.
>> Right.
>> Well, I didn't make it that far because
I got in the car and I started to start
the car, and she opens the back door in
back of me on the driver's side
and
grabbed my phone.
from between the seats.
And she said she held it up. She says,
"I've got your phone and I'm not giving
you your phone back until you give me
your my daughter."
And I said, "Well, then let's look in
the car.
I'm not going to take everything out,
but you can certainly see in the car if
your daughter's in here."
>> Right.
>> She sticks her head in and she says,
"Kayla! Kayla! Come out!" So, I said,
"Is your daughter's name Kayla?" She
said, "Yes." And I said, "What's her
last name?" And she said, "Sanchez." And
I said, "Is that your last name?" She
said, "No, my last name is Moore."
This was a little farther ahead because
by that time she's walking away.
You know, I didn't say it that way, but
I basically said, you know, "Do you Do
you Are they better off on the street or
are they better off in the jail cell?"
>> Well, she's going to She's already under
arrest for other charges, too. I don't I
don't know exactly what transpired over
here, but I do believe that she got into
a a scuffle with officers, so she might
have battery charges against officers.
>> Well, I thought maybe so because I saw I
saw the ambulance going that way. I
thought
>> another Yeah, she bit another male, too.
Um so, that's another felony charge. So,
she has Yeah, she's definitely going to
have a lot of felony charges. Um
>> Well, she's spunky, you know. She And
and and
no matter what the actual real
circumstances are, the woman believes
she has a daughter that she can't find.

you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

day, okay? I know it was an unfortunate
uh series of events, but
