In December 2006, a guy named Lorenzo Montoya, who lived in a mobile home in the desert less than three miles from the mass burial site, was shot and killed in an incident that was ruled self defense. It seemed that Montoya had picked up a sex worker on the Albuquerque strip and the sex worker’s boyfriend/pimp followed him in order to provide protection. He waited for the girl to come out of the mobile home and when he became alarmed by how long it was taking, he knocked on the door. Montoya came out with a gun and began firing at the boyfriend but missed. The boyfriend retreated to cover, pulled out his own gun and shot and killed Montoya. He then went into the mobile home and found his girlfriend dead by stranglation. No charges were filed against the boyfriend.At the time this happened, law enforcement was not aware that local sex workers were disappearing. It was considered a “one off” crime that got minimal Medea attention. Two years laters, in 2009, 11 decomposed corpses were found buried in shallow graves. When the bodies turned up, investigators remembered the Montoya case. A look a Google Earth showed vehicle tracks leading directly from Montoya’s mobile home to the dump site. By that time, Montoya’s mobile home and all of his processions had been disposed of. Very little was known about Montoya but no ties could be found linking home to any of the women found buried at the site. Albuquerque investigators did not feel there was sufficient evidence to declare Montoya the perpetrator and close the case but he appears to be a much stronger suspect than any of the others developed. -- source link
