Julie Nieto was a 24-year-old Hispanic woman who vanished from Albuquerque on July 15, 2004. Her disappearance remained unexplained until skeletal remains from a mass grave in the West Mesa area were discovered after a passerby found a bone in February 2009; Julie was officially identified among the 11 women and one unborn child recovered in March 2009.

Investigators concluded Julie was killed sometime between 2004 and 2005 and buried on the desolate mesa. Many West Mesa victims, including Julie, had ties to drugs and prostitution. The killings are believed to be the work of a serial offender often called the West Mesa Bone Collector, but no one has been charged in Julie’s death.

Several people have been named as persons of interest over the years, including Lorenzo Montoya, who lived near the burial site and was killed in 2006, and Joseph Blea, a convicted serial rapist; neither has been charged in these murders. Does anyone have information about Julie’s life in Albuquerque or her last known movements?
