Two Children Found Dead Inside Storage Unit in Northern California

Multiple law enforcement agencies including the Salinas Police Department are investigating the deaths of two kids in Redding California.

Tami Joy Huntsman, 39, and 17-year-old male, both of Quincy, were arrested on Friday by the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office on suspicion of felony child abuse, torture and mayhem involving the child that still survives.

A Quincy, Calif., woman has been arrested and Northern California homicide detectives are investigating after two children were found dead inside a storage unit in Redding.

The children were siblings, aged 3 and 5. She is reportedly “fighting for her life” and was undergoing surgery last night, per KSBW.

Salinas police are searching an apartment on Fremont Street where Huntsman and Curiel also lived. No further information about them or their relationship to the children was publicly available.

Huntsman and Curiel are recent residents of the Salinas area. Sheriff Greg Hagwood said members of his staff and Plumas District Hospital staffers who treated the injured 9-year-old were emotionally affected. “That little girl had been subjected to the most unspeakable measure of torture for an extended period of time”. They are being held on $1 million bail. Wayne Huntsman has a criminal history that reportedly includes a burglary in Plumas County.
