The parents of a 16-year-old girl called police on May 25 to report the teen never came home. They believed she was with Hernandez, according to the arrest affidavit. During the previous night, the teen’s sister had confronted her about her relationship with Hernandez.

The two worked together at a local fast food restaurant, according to the affidavit.

Eventually, police received information that indicated the two were in Wyoming. Investigators obtained surveillance video from a retail store in Evanston, Wyoming, which allegedly captured the couple there.

“The defendant intentionally took (the teen) outside of Texas more than 120 miles from her residence,” according to the arrest affidavit.

Hernandez’s bail was set at $35,000, jail records showed.
