Jeremiah Valencia was born on December 6, 2003, to Tracy Ann Pena and Andrew Valencia, and he was living in Nambe, New Mexico, which is just north of Santa Fe. From the time Jeremiah was born, he had a rough life. Both his mother and father were in and out of jail for various reasons, with his father being sent to prison when Jeremiah was just six years old.

That was the last time Andrew saw his son. For the years that followed, Jeremiah and his younger sister lived on and off with their mother. There was one time in which Jeremiah and his sister were removed from the home and placed into the care of their grandparents while DCFS investigated Tracy. However, they were ultimately placed back into her care.

Eventually Tracy's boyfriend, 42 year old Thomas Ferguson, as well as Thomas's son, 19 year old Jordan Nunez moved in with the family. Jeremiah was described by loved ones as fearless, active, and outgoing. He was definitely a handful full of energy. He made the most of every day. He was known to be really sweet and helpful and not shy around anybody.

He would walk up to just about anyone and introduce himself, making friends very easily. He loved Batman, cars, sports, getting messy, and building things. He was an intelligent kid with a bright future ahead of him.

143.217 - 164.719 Narrator

But unfortunately, everything that Jeremiah was looking forward to in life would be brutally and violently ripped away from him by the very people who were supposed to care for him and protect him. Jeremiah never stood a chance, and when you find out what happened to this poor, sweet, 13-year-old boy, you will be absolutely disgusted. This case starts in January of 2018.
