FRONT PAGE Apd: Mother, 2 Others Drugged 10-year-old Victoria Martens Before Killing Her'

So, no one knows who did this to the baby? Cell phone records have mom and her dick not at the apartment at time of death. The cousin did it and there is still an unknown man's DNA and he's never been caught. Right? I thought I also read that she didn't have any drugs or alcohol in her system? Like, what is the actual truth?
 
In court records just filed, the state is asking that the attorney for Fabian Gonzales be sanctioned after he filed a request to not allow Victoria to be called a victim and referred to her as a corpse.

Meanwhile, Fabian Gonzales is still out of jail and in Bernalillo County. Last month a judge ruled Gonzales could be out until his case goes to trial.

The murder and rape charges against Gonzales were dropped in 2018.

Gonzales is still charged with helping his cousin, Jessica Kelley, dismember the child and trying to clean up the crime scene.

The New Mexico Court of Appeals agreed that Gonzales should remain out of custody until he faces a jury.

Victoria was murdered in August, 2016. There is still no trial date set.

3 Years After a 10-year-old Girl's Brutal Murder, There are Still More Questions than Answers
The story of Victoria Martens' brutal murder is nothing short of a complete tragedy. The 10-year-old girl was killed, dismembered and set on fire in August 2016. Her mother, Michelle Martens, her mother's boyfriend, Fabian Gonzalez and his cousin, Jessica Kelley, were all arrested and charged in connection with the murder.

For over a year, investigators used Martens' version of events on the night of her daughter's death before additional evidence showed that Michelle Martens' gave a false confession. Simply put, police were following the wrong leads and it led to a dead end.

With Martens, Kelley and Gonzalez all telling different stories and time stretching on, Victoria's murder remains an open case and her killer has not yet been brought to justice.

3 years after a 10-year-old girl's brutal murder, there are still more questions than answers

The circumstances around Victoria Martens' death are shocking.

The man awaiting trial for his role in the death of ten-year-old Victoria Martens could be headed back to jail. Fabian Gonzales is charged with child abuse resulting in death and tampering with evidence after investigators say he put Victoria in a dangerous situation and tried to cover up her murder. Victoria was, of course, the daughter of Gonzales’ then-girlfriend Michelle Martens.

Now court documents show Fabian is dating another woman with kids and he was known to be alone with them for a short time earlier this month that violates the conditions of his release. On top of that, Gonzales had to move out of his home after a dispute with the landlord also cited as a violation in a pretrial services report. A judge will reconsider the terms of his release at a hearing later this month.

Meanwhile, Gonzales’ attorneys are asking for his restrictions to be relaxed. They argue he has generally complied with the rules and should be allowed off his GPS monitor.

The sentencing dates have been set for Jessica Kelley and Michelle Martens — the two women facing charges in the Victoria Martens case.

Three people were originally arrested and charged with 10-year-old Victoria’s murder in 2016 — Victoria’s mother Michelle Martens, her then boyfriend Fabian Gonzales, and his cousin Jessica Kelley.

Those murder charges were eventually downgraded.

Kelley and Martens have both taken plea deals. Kelley pleaded no contest to child abuse resulting in death, aggravated assault and tampering with evidence.

Martens pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in death.
Kelley will be sentenced on June 21 and Martens will be sentenced on July 9.

It was eventually determined years later that Gonzales and Martens were not there when Victoria died. The DA’s office said Kelley and an unknown fourth suspect were there.

Victoria Martens was murdered five years ago. Two people have taken plea deals for their part on this crime.

The third suspect, Fabian Gonzales, is about to go on trial. First, a jury has to be picked.

Wednesday, Judge Cindy Leos said that won't be easy.

"It does look like there's a lot of knowledge out there about this case," Judge Leos said at a hearing.

In August 2016, 10-year-old Victoria Martens was murdered, mutilated and set on fire at her family's apartment on Albuquerque's west side.

The state has sent out 400 questionnaires to potential jurors. Nearly 200 of those jury questionnaires have come back.

"I want to be honest. it's going to be tough getting a jury from what we're seeing in responses," Judge Leos said.

KOAT Legal Expert John Day says he believes both sides can find jurors.

"It's going to be difficult because the judge and the lawyers in the case are going to be questioning each potential juror about anything that could affect their ability to sit, I think at the end of the day they'll probably wind up with enough people but it's going to be tight," Day said.

Whoever sits on that jury will tour the apartment where the little girl was killed.

The case has taken years to go to trial because of arguments over what should and should not be heard in the courtroom.

Nearly six years after the death and dismemberment of 10-year-old Victoria Martens, a judge has sentenced the first of three people charged in the girl’s 2016 death.

Jessica Kelley, 37, was sentenced on Thursday to 44 years in prison for her role in one of the city’s most high-profile crimes.
Click to expand...
Kelley pleaded no contest in January 2019 to six felony crimes, including reckless child abuse resulting in the death of a child under 12.
Click to expand...
A plea of “no contest” means that Kelley is not admitting guilt, but she is not contesting the state’s version of events.

Second Judicial District Court Judge Cindy Leos sentenced Kelley to 50 years in prison with six years suspended, followed by five years probation.
Click to expand...
Victoria Martens’ grandparents, John and Pat Martens, urged the judge to hand Kelley the maximum sentence. Pat Martens held a carved wooden box containing Victoria’s cremated remains.

“This is what’s left, a wooden box of her ashes,” John Martens told the judge as Pat Martens held up the box.

Kelley had agreed to babysit Victoria the day the girl was killed, John Martens said during the video hearing. “Instead, she decided to get high and participate in the brutal murder of Victoria,” then conceal the crime by dismembering and burning her body in a bathtub, he said.

“This is one evil person that does not belong on the street, or even on this earth,” Martens said.

Prosecutors have said that Kelley was “tweaking” and experiencing paranoid delusions from methamphetamine the day Victoria was killed on Aug. 23, 2016. Kelley had agreed to take care of Victoria while the girl’s mother, Michelle Martens, and Fabian Gonzales — Martens’ then-boyfriend and Kelley’s cousin — went out.

Prosecutors say an unknown man seeking revenge against Gonzales arrived at the apartment, according to the factual basis included in the plea agreement.
Click to expand...
The man asked for Gonzales, then went to Victoria’s room and strangled the girl.

Prosecutors said Kelley “knew or should have known that the man posed a substantial and unjustifiable risk of harm” to the girl and that Kelley should have tried to stop him.

Prosecutors contend Kelley and Gonzales dismembered the girl in order to dispose of her body.

Kelley also pleaded no contest to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for striking Michelle Martens with an iron and tampering with evidence for dismembering Victoria.

Kelley declined to speak at her sentencing hearing Thursday. Her attorney, Mark Earnest, said Kelley declined to speak because she has agreed to testify in Gonzales’ trial.

“Given the nature of the case, and the fact that (Kelley) still has obligations under the plea agreement, she would like to reserve her right to address the court and interested others until after Mr. Gonzales’ trial,” Earnest said.

2nd Judicial District Attorney Raúl Torrez revealed that investigators determined that Martens’ confession had been false and “contaminated” by the detectives interviewing her. Most of what was reported about the crime had been derived from Martens’ statements.

Instead, Torrez said a partial DNA sample was found on Victoria’s back, leading them to believe another person was there. An indictment has been filed against that person, called “John Doe.” The murder and rape charges against Martens and Gonzales were dropped. Six months later, in early 2019, Kelley pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in death. Her lawyer said experts determined there is no evidence Victoria was raped the night she was killed and prosecutors dropped that charge against Kelley.

On day two of Fabian Gonzales’ trial the state’s star witness Jessica Kelley testified against her cousin. Kelley went into details of what she says happened the day Victoria Martens was killed in 2016.

As part of Kelley’s plea deal in the case, she agreed to testify against her cousin. Thursday, she walked the jury through the grim details. Kelley says she was left alone with Victoria, paranoid and high on meth when a man she’s never met before walked in and killed the 10-year-old.
Click to expand...
Spending all day on the witness stand Thursday, prosecutors question Kelley about her actions on each day leading up to the day Victoria was murder. In the early morning hours of the day Victoria would later be killed, Kelley testified to being paranoid all day.

On the day Victoria was killed, she claims Gonzales and Victoria’s mother, Michelle Martens, knew she was on meth when they left her alone with the 10-year-old. For the first time, Kelley publicly told the story of the unknown person who she claims killed Victoria.

Kelley told prosecutors an unknown man later walked in asking for “Favo” and then went into Victoria’s room, strangled the girl, and left. “[The man] said, ‘Fabian f***** up. He knows what he did, there’s a mess in there’ that me and Fabian have to clean up and if not, ‘it’s going to be our lives and my kid’s lives,'” said Kelley.

After Victoria was killed, Kelley says she walked into Victoria’s room and found the girl lying on her back, blue in the face and without a pulse. Kelley claims she waited for Gonzales to come home, then pulled her cousin aside to tell him what happened.

“I don’t think he really believed me, because he was like, ‘For real cuz?! What the ****!’ and I was like, ‘For real, what are we going to– we have to get rid of her body, like,'” Kelley said describing Fabian’s reaction to learning of Victoria’s death. “And he said, ‘alright, we’ll take turns.”

At that point, Kelley claims Gonzales helped distract Michelle Martens from learning that Victoria was dead. She added that Michelle Martens never checked on her daughter before going to bed.

Kelley says that’s when Gonzales went into Victoria’s room and started dismembering the girl’s body. “He was cutting her in the middle of her chest. He was like, ‘we’ve gotta make it look like it’s not us!’ I was, ‘like what the?! Just get the **** out of here, I’ll finish it,'” Kelley testified.

Gonzales is sticking to his original claim that Jessica Kelley acted alone. He claims Kelley is the one who killed Victoria and tried to dispose of the body.

The defense also started questioning Kelley late Thursday afternoon aiming to poke holes in her story. That testimony is expected to resume Friday.
Click to expand...
Kelley also admitted that after attempting to dispose of Victoria’s body, she planned on killing Gonzales and Martens with an iron because she was scared of going back to prison. Kelley is serving a 44-year prison sentence after she pled no contest to reckless child abuse resulting in death and several other charges. However, she may only have to serve half if she earns good time.

Jessica Kelley takes stand in day two of trial for Victoria Martens killing

Warning: Story below contains disturbing details ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On day two of Fabian Gonzales’ trial the state’s star witness Jessica Kelley testified against her …
www.krqe.com www.krqe.com
 
Still doesn’t make any sense. If the guy had a prob with the boyfriend “Favo”
1. How does he know where Michelle lives and that favo stayed there.
2. How was killing Victoria meant to punish favo?
3. Then he’s like “clean up our mess.” Not YOUR mess, OUR mess. How does jeopardizing himself by leaving a crime scene for favo accomplish anything?
4. Why did they dismember her, it was unnecessary and they did it IN THE APARTMENT where it would be impossible to clean up and conceal.
5. Did they think they could just distract mom for the next 12 years and avoid the horror show mess in Victoria’s bedroom?

There is something huge missing here. I mean meth psychosis can make people crazy but there’s too many and factors and people here. Could it just be as simple as Kelley flipping out and killing her while they were alone? Also, I thought there was signs of sexual assault AND it was discovered that Victoria had contacted an STD prior to this.

If things went down the way Kelley said, you’d figure they would tell authorities. I know they’re drugged out, have illegal items, have a warrant, whatever. No part of the described situation merits any of the actual events that followed.

Oh and did they ever figure out what the fuck was going on during that interrogation? How did the detectives come up with that very specific, very gruesome, very detailed timeline of events? Just made up mom getting guys off plenty of fish so they could rape Victoria for her watching pleasure. Giving Victoria meth to calm her down…

Sorry, this case is the one that got me.
 
I don't think there was any John Doe. The defense got handed a miracle of there randomly being some other DNA on her back, which could have got there a ton of different ways, but it was there, so of course it was John Doe that killed her.

Every time I see an update on this case, I get sick to my stomach because I know this one will never get better, there will never be a "this is exactly what happened" update. This has been the biggest shit show since it was first reported.
 
A man was convicted Monday in the 2016 death of a Albuquerque girl who was strangled, dismembered and set on fire in the bathtub of her mother’s apartment on her 10th birthday.

A 2nd Judicial District Court jury deliberated less than four hours before returning with guilty verdicts on all charges against 37-year-old Fabian Gonzales, who prosecutors say faces up to life in prison when he’s sentenced.

Gonzales was charged with one count of reckless child abuse resulting in death, seven counts of tampering with evidence and one count of conspiracy to tamper with evidence in the case.

Prosecutors argued during the 13-day trial that Gonzales put Victoria Martens in a dangerous situation that eventually lead to her death.

They said Gonzales dated the victim’s mother — Michelle Martens — and moved into her apartment one month before the girl died.

Gonzales also was accused of helping his cousin Jessica Kelley dismember the girl and clean the crime scene in an attempt to conceal the death.

Defense lawyers argued that Kelley was solely responsible for the murder and dismemberment on Aug. 23, 2016.

Fabian Gonzales sentenced to 37½ years in Victoria Martens' death

Victoria's grandfather asked judge to sentence Gonzales to the maximum prison term

The twelve year prison sentence, with six already served for Michelle Martens was handed down by a New Mexico district judge during a virtual hearing. Martens appeared on screen in an orange jumpsuit from the detention center where she has been undergoing treatment and therapy.
Click to expand...
Described as a model inmate, Martens wiped away tears as her defense attorney recalled for the court how her daughter, Victoria, was a beautiful child who did well in school, was well-behaved and was loved by neighbors in the apartment complex where they lived.
Click to expand...
State District Judge Cindy Leos said well-behaved children usually come from homes where they are loved and cared for by involved parents. Pointing to evidence and testimony gleaned during multiple court proceedings, Leos suggested that was the case in the Martens home before Michelle Martens became involved with a man who had a criminal past.

“He preyed on Ms. Martens and she was in a position at that point in her life that she was easily manipulated by him and couldn't see what he was up to and the grave risk that was posed to her family,” the judge said. “But nevertheless, we do have a little girl who is no longer with us because of some of the decisions that were made by Ms. Martens.”


Martens pleaded guilty in 2018 to reckless child abuse resulting in death as part of a plea agreement. Her boyfriend at the time, Fabian Gonzales, and his cousin, Jessica Kelley, also were convicted of child abuse and other charges and have been sentenced to decades in prison.

Michelle Martens' attorney, Gary Mitchell, told the court that she has been participating in multiple programs while in custody and would be a good candidate for community rehabilitation. Despite teasing by other inmates, her defense team said Martens has remained calm, is doing the work needed as part of her therapy, and has learned coping skills.

Leos ordered that Martens continue with treatment once she is released and on supervised probation.

I don't believe the mother ever allowed the girl to be sexually abused.

If anything Jessica may have attempted to sell Victoria on the day of her death and may have drugged her and caused her death.

We will probably never know the truth because Jessica will never tell the truth and the other two were so out of their minds on drugs they cannot even know what the truth is.
