Two Arrested in North Carolina Kidnapping of Mother, Infant; FBI Seeks Third Suspect

Two suspects, identified as Paola Duran Duran and Miguel Angel Duran Duran, have been arrested and charged in connection with the kidnapping of a North Carolina mother and her 11-month-old daughter after a failed $1 million ransom demand. The suspects, who are reportedly illegal immigrants, allegedly broke into the Garner home armed with guns, restrained the child's father, and abducted the mother and child when their demand was refused. The victims were found safe after the mother sought help at a nearby home, prompting a 911 call. Authorities are still searching for a third suspect, Eleodoro 'Leo' Estrada-Hernandez, who remains at large and is the subject of an FBI manhunt. ICE detainers have been lodged against the arrested suspects, and investigators are still working to determine the motive and possible connections to the family. The incident drew swift law enforcement response, with local, state, and federal agencies collaborating in the investigation.
