Two siblings, both illegal immigrants have been arrested and charged with kidnapping a mother and her infant daughter in Garner, North Carolina on Monday. The brother and sister along with a third person still at large abducted the victims after the family refused to pay up $1 million.
Paola Duran Duran, 25, her brother Miguel Angel Duran Duran, 23, and 37-year-old Eleodoro ‘Leo’ Estrada-Hernandez, authorities in Raleigh said, barged into a home and took the pair at gunpoint on April 28, 2025, before freeing them. 
The trio, masked and armed with guns broke into the family’s home in Garner, demanding $1 million. When the husband refused, the home invaders grabbed his 11-month-old daughter and wife then fled in a black sedan, after restraining him with duct tape, according to police.
Mother and child later turned up at a stranger’s door at 7 am on Tuesday morning, seeking help. Apparently, both abductees were released unharmed by the suspects without a ransom being paid.

The kidnappers then allegedly wrapped him with duct tape and fled with his wife, Alondra Michelle Benitez De Jesus, 26, and the couple’s 11-month-old daughter, Grecia Salome Alejandro-Benitez, in a black Nissan Altima.
