How can we have so easily dismissed the 11 missing women who were murdered so brutally and found buried on the West Mesa? But I guess who really cares about those so called ‘prostitutes’? These women who were so down on themselves that they felt that the only way to survive was this way. This way that so many of us would never think of , who we’d never stoop that low . . But then again, we’ve never lived their lives, we don’t know what has made them feel this way about themselves, we’ve never walked in their shoes.
Albuquerque now has over 800 runaways , young men, people who have been trapped in the life of our discarded that are missing. People like my granddaughter Anastasia Ferriera who lives in the ‘War Zone’, who’s befriended people on the streets because being the ‘Burque’ woman she is, is not intimidated by what she sees in the streets around her. Who thinks that nothing can ever happen to her 19 year old self. Who never thought that she could just vanish. Just disappear. but now she’s part of the 800 missing in Albuquerque.
I’ve been searching a year and a half for my Anastasia. I’ve driven, walked, and made the Zone my place. My place because now all I can do is search, hang flyers, and talk to these individuals who are homeless and down on their luck. But are honestly more respectful to this old lady than most teenagers. They call me Mame, they say ‘I’m sorry, I hope you find her.’ They also say God Bless you with such truth.
So now I ask , what happened to the promise? The Promise by the media to keep us informed when people go missing? To keep us informed so we can protect our selves while we’re out shopping, going to the gym, or going to work? How dare Mayor Keller help in the Coverup . Because he has to know. He is the Only person in charge of our city! What has happened to our city that it has fallen into this pit of despair?
I’ve called KOB, KRQE and KOAT since the minute I knew Anastasia went missing , only to be told that it’s not news and ‘no one cares’! I’ve tried meeting with mayor Keller, I’ve spoken to former governor Susana Martinez at the airport , we’ve posted thousands of flyers through New Mexico. KOAT finally did a piece after a year. A Year!!!
Anastasia and 800 more people need our help, and I’m asking ALL of you to help! Call the news! Tell them to let YOU know when people go missing!
Please do not close your eyes until it becomes a member of your family.

Thank you for publishing this. The missing should be a priority.
Yes they should ! So many are going missing
If it’s not about power or money these blue states don’t give a damn. I’m very sorry for your Aastasia and the other 800 women missing . Those numbers are not OK. Keep up the fight and I’ll try to make some moise also
I pray you find her. I am shocked to hear that there are 800 missing persons in Albuquerque alone. And the media is wrong, people do care! Let’s bring the missing home.
Thank you! And I did make a mistake before I sent out my ‘opinion’ it’s actually 800 in New Mexico
People care, and this is the most important news there is. I hope Anastasia is found.
Thank you
What can we do to help?
Contact the media! There’s nothing more important than to have they’re untrue out there! But they won’t do it!!! We need to make a scene !
I talked to a homeless female last night who doesn’t appear to be an addict, but claims that the West Mesa Killer is still out there. She thinks that he still picks up girls from the streets. She claimed to have known most of the girls killed back then.
Honestly I wouldn’t doubt it. We have all had that thought. But the cartel is very heavy in Albuquerque, and so is human trafficking
Hi. Where can I find more information about this whole situation? I met one homeless man in Albuquerque,and he said 700 women missing in month time in ALBQ. I do vlog about WarZone. Unfortunately I had limited time and couldn’t find out if it’s legit info. Also he mentioned something about 12 serial killers in ALBQ. He was sober and intelligent guy. He told me story about he’s missing friend too. Any information will be appreciated and helpful.
You certainly don’t ever hear anything on the news or online. Remember when Walmart used to have a place to pinup the missing? There were so many stacked and overlapped, you couldn’t see their faces. Thousands of children go missing every hour in this country, and not a single politician addresses it. The so called leaders are very good at releasing felons and allow an illegal invasion to sack our country and traffic though. It’s also why no politician or media will dare call “Human Trafficking” what it really is: Slavery and kidnapping. Why won’t they? Because “Trafficking” mitigates the severity of charges. Who would want that!? Take a look at the crime in any dem ran state and it addresses itself. If the dem voters had any clue how vulnerable their children are, they would demand the leaders be removed from office. Stop voting for more of the same.
I hesitate to say this, but WHY are the rich politicians etc. not helping with this problem. And YES! Slavery is what is happening!!!
Our daughters wives and mothers are being torcherd and raped over and over before being killed in the most horrific ways. I remember a case where a woman was tied to a bed in a shed in the east mountains for a year while being raped by multiple people and washed with a gardenhose even in the dead of winter had no clothing and when she escaped she killed her captor and went to prison. Swear to god look it up. To boot our toddlers are taken from under our noses and sold to be sex toys. When they age out (10 or 11) they are killed before they are too old to be controlled and clever enough to escape. Imagine knowing your own son was being raped and torchered every day for the next 10 years… And nothing you can do to find him and save him! YOU saw on the video the people who took him but when the police find them they are dead with no sign of any kids. This is exactly how it happens. All over the US. And noone talks about it. Its not on the news. It can happen to the soccermom as she warms up the car. It can happen to any woman walking down a street. It can happen as you turn to talk to someone ment to distract you while shopping. God help us.
We can all make this stop if we all come together as one and find these sick ass mother fuckers out on the streets that’s keep doing there wrong things to these girls. We have to stand up and put out foot down and make a difference for these girl so they won’t get hurt anymore or killed anymore. We can stop this.
