People Forgotten.
On February 2, 2009, a woman walking a dog found a human bone on the West Mesa of Albuquerque, New Mexico metropolitan area, and reported it to police. As a result of the subsequent police investigation, authorities discovered the remains of 11 women and a fetus buried in the area. All the women were young; most were Hispanic, and most were involved with drugs and prostitution.
The remains discovered in 2009 were identified as those of the following women, all of whom disappeared between 2001 and 2005 According to satellite photos the last victim was buried in 2005.- Jamie Barela, 15
- Monica Candelaria, 22
- Victoria Chavez, 26
- Virginia Cloven, 24
- Syllania Edwards, 15
- Cinnamon Elks, 32
- Doreen Marquez, 24
- Julie Nieto, 24
- Veronica Romero, 28
- Evelyn Salazar, 27
- Michelle Valdez, 22
Blea is also suspected by police of killing another prostitute; his DNA sample was located on the inner waistband and belt of a prostitute found dead on Central Ave (a notorious street for prostitution in the eastern part of the city). In addition, a tree tag from a nursery was found in the area where the West Mesa victims' bodies were buried; it was tracked to a nursery Blea once frequented.
Blea, in the Mid-School rape case, was sentenced to 36 years in June 2015. This means Blea, who was 58 years old at the time of sentencing, will likely serve the rest of his life in prison.
but now..
It's been seven years since the victims of the West Mesa murders were discovered.
The bodies of 11 women and a fetus were found buried in Albuquerque's West Mesa in February 2009.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, only one detective is left on the case task force, which once had 40 members.
Police confirmed last year that two men were still on their list of possible suspects. They are keeping quiet about who might be under the microscope.
