Lubbock police have confirmed that the body found Monday evening in Lubbock County is that of Elizabeth Ennen, the 15-year-old girl who disappeared on Jan. 5.
Police confirmed the identity using fingerprints.
The Monterrey High School student had been missing for more than two weeks when, on Saturday, the case took a stunning twist with the arrest of 45-year-old Humberto Salinas. Ennen was babysitting for Salinas on the evening of her disappearance. Police arrested him on an aggravated kidnapping charge. The Ennen family said it considered the Salinas family to be good friends.
According to affidavits, Salinas returned to the Carriage House by himself while Ennen was babysitting his children on January 5. At 11:47 p.m., Ennen was seen leaving the hotel room in a hurry. 5 minutes later, Salinas was caught on tape pulling her back inside the room.
Around midnight, police believe Salinas forced Ennen inside his vehicle before driving off. He returned to the hotel room 8 minutes later alone.
According to affidavits, Elizabeth's mother arrived at the hotel around 2:00 a.m. to seemingly check on her daughter's whereabouts. Police say she was seen running down a hotel hallway roughly 12 minutes later.
