NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
The two daughters of a Texas woman found dead in her home Sunday are missing, and authorities fear they were abducted by the murder victim's roommate.
Terry Miles is being sought for questioning by the Round Rock Police Department in the "suspicious" death of 44-year-old Tonya Bates. Cops believe that Miles is with 7-year-old Luluvioletta Bandera-magret and 14-year-old Lilianais Victoria Cake Griffith.

Police Chief Allen Banks said during a press conference on Monday that they don't believe the kids are with Miles willingly.
Cops found Bates' body while responding to a "welfare concern" at her home in Round Rock. Miles is considered a person of interest in her death, and an Amber Alert was issued for the children.

"Usually you hear it, and it's somewhere else and I'm glad that wasn't me and I was nowhere near it," neighbor James Reid told KEYE. "But this happened next door. I was just glad none of my kids or my wife was here."
Investigators said this weekend that they believe that the 44-year-old Miles might be on his way to Louisiana in a grey 2017 Hyundai Accent, with Texas license plate number JGH9845.
He has been spotted in northern New Mexico or southern Colorado, according to Fox 7. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued an Endangered Missing Person Alert, according to 9 News.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the children or Miles should call (512) 218-5515.

"Our concern and our focus is in bringing these two girls home safe," Banks said during the press conference.
A 37-year-old man was also found dead in his Round Rock home on New Year's Eve, but cops don't believe the two deaths are connected.
