The West Mesa Murders: 17 Years Seeking Justice

In 2009, investigators discovered the remains of 11 women in a mass grave located on Albuquerque’s West Mesa, sparking a long-running homicide investigation. This report highlights a tribute held by the Albuquerque Police Department on the discovery's 13th anniversary to honor the victims and support their grieving families. Although authorities have reviewed over 1,000 tips and identified multiple persons of interest, the "West Mesa Bone Collector" case remains unsolved. Officials are currently utilizing a specialized task force to re-examine similar cold cases and missing persons reports in the region. To encourage new leads, a $100,000 reward is being offered for information that results in a conviction. Police continue to urge the public to share any details regarding suspicious activity or potential burial sites hidden by local construction.
