Sanchez and her husband were married for nearly 16 years. They have two boys, ages 8 and 11, together.
"Know that you left two young boys without a mom right before Mother’s Day," Sanchez's sister Yahaira Viado said. "You know that they made all these cards for her that they never got to give to her."

"When (the suspect is) about to go to sleep, if you can’t sleep, because I cannot think of a person that can do this to someone and go to sleep at night," Viado said. "So, keep us in the back of your head and remember us. Remember that you took her from us. She was only 36 years old."
