Seven Albuquerque New Mexico Bodies Identified from an even dozen victims. Eleven female bodies and an unborn baby. They were found on a 92 acre parcel west of Albuquerque in February of 2009.

Albuquerque police spokesman John Walsh stated Thursday, July 9th, 2009, that police were considering all the deaths homicides, and believe they are linked because of the proximity of where the bodies were buried and how they were buried.

“It’s … likely that the same individual committed the same crimes, but we have to leave all possibilities open,” he continued.

The victims were linked through drugs and prostitution, he stated.

In February, a woman walking her dog on the property where they found the bodies…it had recently been graded in preparation for development. That was where they found the first bone.

The office of the medical investigator determined that it was human.
