Authorities said neighbors and co-workers discovered the woman’s body Saturday night when she did not show up for work.

Investigators consider the woman's estranged husband, Porfiro Guanchez, a person of interest.

Authorities said Guanchez dropped the children off at a relative's house.

Authorities said Guanchez is the children's father.
