  • Can’t wait to hear more!

    I moved here to New Mexico the year these women’s bodies were unearthed and will never forget how shocked I was. I can’t wait to hear more from the families of the victims and those who worked (and continue to work) on this case.

  • Don’t bother listening

    Bad audio. FACT ERRORS. Terrible come-from. Other journalists and people cared about these women, not just this lady. No sources, no new information. Clearly did not do her research — you’ll get a better idea of what happened by reading the ABQ Journal’s extensive coverage and other outlets from the time.
