A father allegedly stabbed his little daughter in the chest and then shot her mother before driving the bodies to a rural road where he shot himself.
Jesse Saldivar, 48, killed toddler Sabrina Saldivar, aged just three, and her mother Veronica Erazo-Alderado, 30, in Las Vegas, Nevada, police said.
Police were called when the mother did not turn up for work, after she was meant to drop off Sabrina at the home of Mr Saldivar - her ex-boyfriend.
The tragedy was made all the more worse by there being a 13-year-old son left behind. The couple had reportedly broken up months before.
Their son was said to have told neighbours: ‘Have you seen my mom? We called everywhere, she didn't answer her phone,’ reported ABC 13.
Police tracked down Mr Saldivar's vehicle after finding blood at his home following a call-out by Ms Erazo-Alderado's current boyfriend.
He feared the worst when she did not arrive at work at a hospital on Friday and told police she had gone to leave her child at Mr Saldivar's home.
Police searched the home of her former boyfriend, Jesse Saldivar, Friday night after observing an excessive amount of blood in the property through a window. They tracked down Saldivar's vehicle near a desert stretch in west Las Vegas where they found all three bodies.
Investigators have concluded that Saldivar, 48, most likely stabbed his daughter, shot her mother in the chest and then carried the bodies into his vehicle. He then likely killed himself after parking the vehicle on the remote street more than three miles from his home.
Las Vegas police spokesman Jacinto Rivera said it's unclear why Saldivar committed the double murder-suicide. He did not have a criminal record in Las Vegas and there were no reported incidents of domestic abuse involving the couple.
Property records show a bank foreclosed on Saldivar's home in October, but he continued to live there.
Erazo-Alderado is survived by her 13-year-old son, who was searching for her last week, according to friend Srrgut Tessmen.
"He said, 'have you seen my mom? We called everywhere, she didn't answer her phone,'" Tessmen told KTNV-TV in Las Vegas.
