Does Albuquerque Have a Serial Killer? by bdougherty
Albuquerque once again fell under the national spotlight when it came to light that multiple bodies have been buried in what was once a remote, desert location in the southwest corner of the city. A person from the adjoining housing development recently stumbled upon what appeared to be a human leg bone while walking her dog. The police were summoned in and quickly discovered a human skeleton, followed by another and another. Within a couple of weeks the investigation turned up 13 bodies, including that of a fetus of one of the pregnant victims. Only two of the bodies have been identified - those of two women who were known to frequent nearby Central Avenue as prostitutes.
With the crime scene in full view of surrounding two-story homes from a number of recent developments, many questions are surfacing. Who are the women? Are they somehow connected to one another? When were the bodies placed there? Over what period of time? Are there more and, if so, how many and where? Many neighbors are concerned that their new homes may have been built on top of other grave sites.
The investigation continues although hindered somewhat by seasonal sandstorms - information appears to be in short supply as the locla news bureaus have nothing new to report since the end of February when the number of bodies shot to the current thirteen. It has been reported that the bodies were likley buried in 2004 and 2005 before the fill was placed on top of them in preparation for building homes.
