AURORA, MISSOURI – A 31-year-old Missouri mother serving a life sentence for killing one of her children’s fathers is now facing capital murder charges in Arkansas, accused of shooting another ex and his girlfriend during a violent, multistate rampage.
From Missouri to Arkansas: A Deadly Spree
Authorities say Taylor Santiago shot and killed her ex-husband, Troy Huffman, in January 2025 at her home in Aurora, Missouri, before stealing his Mercedes and driving more than 50 miles south to Carroll County, Arkansas.
