The story starts off ordinarily enough—with a boy and a girl, together on a leisurely Wednesday morning, watching a porn film with their baby.
...But then it gets weird.
According to a brief account in the April 26, 2008 Albuquerque Journal, it was while watching that film on Wednesday, three days before on the twenty-third of April, that the girl, Amanda Moya—20, a graduate of Rio Rancho High School’s Class of 2003—realized something startling. Or: she thought she did. She realized that one of the men in the adult film they were watching looked a lot like her boyfriend. (In her mind, anyway.) There he was, this really similar-looking guy, up on screen with another girl. Or girls. Cheating on her! Kind of. Maybe.
And so, she did what any normal girl who watches porn with her boyfriend and young child at 10:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning and then suspects her boyfriend of being in the film would do—she lunged at the side of his head with the nearest sharp object.
“Moya then allegedly became angry, accusing him of cheating on her, and stabbed him in the ear with a fork,” said the aforementioned Journal article.
At some point in this bizarre series of events, Moya also took a bite out of her so-far-publicly-unnamed boyfriend’s chest, put a knife to his neck and cut him, and scratched at him until he bled.
(According to comments posted by KOB-TV reporter Shelton Dodson on that station's website, "EVERYONE IS ASKING ME [if the boyfriend was actually in the film] AND THE ANSWER IS 'I DON'T KNOW'. BUT I CERTAINLY THINK THAT HE WAS 'NOT' IN THE MOVIE." Dodson also added that "THE 'VICTIM' WASN'T QUITE READY TO GIVE UP THAT INFORMATION.")
Around that time, Moya's terrified boyfriend fled his house in southwest Albuquerque’s historic Five Points district, and then barefoot, bleeding, and wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, made a desperate cell phone call to the police as he ran.
KOB-TV, Albuquerque’s NBC affiliate, played portions of the victim’s 911 call on April 24, 2008’s evening news. A sample of that call reads:
9-1-1: “Bernalillo County 9-1-1.”
Victim: “She has a knife and I’m [expletive] running down the [expletive] road bare footed!”
9-1-1: “Hold on. Hold on, why does she have the knife?”
Victim: “Because she is [expletive] crazy.”
Moya took off running after him, gripping the knife, leaving their eight-month-old baby boy alone in the boyfriend’s tiny stuccoed house. The alleged porn star ran toward a Checker Auto Parts store at the corner of Bridge and Sunset, narrating the terrifying chase as he ran.
9-1-1: “O.K. Has she ever tried to stab you before?”
Victim: “Yes.”
9-1-1: “When?”
Victim: “I don’t know, a long time ago.”
The boyfriend then told the dispatcher, interestingly enough, that Moya had been charged with battery before and wasn’t technically even supposed to be near him. Then, at the auto parts store, police cars, their sirens wailing, pulled up and arrested Moya, as her boyfriend pointed her out. Police, according to KOB-TV, ultimately charged Moya with aggravated assault and aggravated battery, as well as with child abuse for abandoning their eight-month-old baby during her apparent murder attempt.
Meanwhile, Moya’s boyfriend has only been charged informally—and only by Mystrangenewmexico.com—with being really terrible at choosing a girlfriend, being really incautious for spending time with someone who had already tried to stab him, and being something less than a terrific dad.
