Last summer, Albuquerque police responded to a call that a child was unresponsive at a motel near Coors and I-40. Tesillo was working at the motel at the time and left the babies with the father. When she returned to the room, one of the twins was found dead and the other tested positive for drugs. The autopsy results showed meth in the baby's system.
The father, Lawrence Gabaldon, pleaded not guilty to child abuse charges.
