Family members rushed to the attack scene when they saw a fire burning: "All they found was charred remains, ash and bones"Kendra Lee Miller says her brother, Howard Miller, and her sister-in-law, Rhonita Maria Miller, were getting ready for her wedding when their car was attacked in Northern Mexico, she told CNN.
“They were driving together for safety reasons,” Kendra said, “Rhonita was going to do some shopping there [in Tucson] and pick up her husband to come down for the wedding.” Another member of the La Mora community, 29-year-old Christina Marie Langford Johnson, was traveling in another car with her 7-month-old son, Kendra said. She was “going to meet her husband and the rest of her children because they were all moving up to North Dakota,” Kendra said.
Back in La Mora, Rhonita took her mother’s car with her children and continued back on the journey with the other two vehicles, driven by Christina and Dawna.
