Murder In New Mexico: The Ortiz Family Massacre

Father's Day, 2011. El Rancho, New Mexico.
A frantic 911 call is made to police. Lloyd, Dixie and Steven Ortiz have been found dead in their home. As the years passed, many feared the case would go totally cold.
But, one call would come in to police, that would change everything...

How do you get bail for a triple murder? That's insane. 25 years?! That's even more insane!

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

It's ABSULUTLY sickening and not justice at all .I wish I could say this is usual but it's not .I see some get way more for a crime as horrible as this and I see some get even less than 25 years ,it's horrible and Our so called justice system is very very broken .Many evil people had already committed awful crimes and were out of prison earlier than the sentence they had gotten after those crimes and many go on to commit more evil crimes ,just disgusting .

Such a lovely, hardworking, family-oriented couple and the son they raised to his fullest potential gone over such a senseless crime; and the heartbreak it has caused this family, who were only trying to help that POS out in the first place. No justice, really, at all. Anyhow, thanks for the upload & hope you have a great week, sisters!

Can someone explain to me why Bonds are put on criminals? Cuz I seriously don’t knw… a good explanation will be appreciated by anyone here pls

[@ShonPhoenix]

Wow. This is one of the most horrific things I’ve heard. He betrayed the people who had his back on multiple occasions. What evil… I hope the surviving family find some sort of peace. ❤️

Three really good people were murdered by a complete brute yet he only receives less than 25yrs? That is just unbelievable when you consider the manner of their deaths and the coolness of the perpetrator afterward. That judge needs his head examined. On another more upbeat note, I love this channel and the narrator is brilliant. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you.

$100,000 bail for brutally killing three people with a ⛏️!! Seriously? That's it?

[@eadweard.]

What do you mean?

[@sanky1211]

@@eadweard. bail amount.

[@eadweard.]

@@sanky1211 Ah Thank you.

[@eadweard.]

This was the amount he was bailed. It wasn't his sentence.

[@laurashipp447]

Yes, I know. I was simply saying, $100,000 was not near high enough, he shouldn't have been granted a bail at all.

[@birdman7687]

Ashley should’ve gotten immunity. Jose should’ve gotten 20 years.

[@eadweard.]

Why?

[@Lotsielots]

How is concurrently running sentences for preplanned murder even an option??? And its even more insane that for multiple savage preplanned murders by hand (not even at a distance with a gun) the judge was able and chose to set concurrent sentences. The judge is judge saying the victims lives are worthh next to nothing.

If you murder someone then you should be put to death / life unless it was self defense

I just watched the peacock episode on this. Am I the only one that thinks Cherie and her husband set him up to do the crime. How could a Tiny 16 year old over take 2 bigger grown men on his own ?? Cherie said there are bodies on the 911 call. Is that what you call family you love?? She said over and over they are dead. Why and how did she know 💯. They happened to be up during the time of the murders but heard nothing but a dog bark. Suspicious. They see the car. She says Jess went outside and followed the car w a gun. He said he didn’t. Suspicious. Than he finally admits it and says he passed the car cause he got scared. Really??? A big man like him. W a gun. Hmmmm. Suddenly she finds out her dad had a safe w a lot of money and she’s the main beneficiary. She called the cops so she doesn’t look suspicious taking the money. But really she knew all along and wanted that money. She doesn’t even appear truly sad on the show I just saw. I don’t know. I see guilt all over her face.

I've had underwear for longer than 25 years. Okay, maybe I haven't, but I can assure you that someone has. It just isn't an amount of time long enough for the lives lost and the level of shear contact violence. That was a massacre. By an adolescent , no less. Are they crazy? Come on, three murders on his first outing with a pick ax?
