   ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque police are investigating whether   
   bones discovered Tuesday in an area where 11 women were found   
   buried nearly a decade ago are human remains — a development   
   that has sparked fears that there may have been more victims in   
   an unsolved serial killing that has haunted the city.   
   Construction workers building a park discovered the bones on the   
   city's West Mesa, police said, a quarter mile from a mass grave   
   where the remains were unearthed in 2009 after a woman walking   
   her dog found a large bone protruding from the dirt.   
      
   The case remains unsolved, with no arrests.   
      
   Authorities have said nearly all the dead women, one of whom was   
   pregnant, worked as prostitutes before they disappeared between   
   2003 and early 2005. At least six other missing women are   
   believed to be linked to the case, according to police.   
      
   The area will be excavated and bones and other remains will be   
   analyzed and tested — a process that could take months, police   
   Chief Michael Geier said.   
      
   "We're not 100 percent sure that this is related but at this   
   point we're treating it as if its similar, to the first round,"   
   Geier told reporters at a news conference.   
      
   Geier was the lead investigator on the serial killing case   
   before he became police chief, CBS affiliate KRQE reports.   
      
   "It's definitely a little bit of deja vu - it looks different,   
   but it feels the same," Geier said.   
      
   Mayor Tim Keller said crews working at the site had been trained   
   to look for remains and immediately contacted authorities when   
   the bones were discovered.   
      
   "This has been an archaeological area as well," Keller said.   
   "So, we certainly understand and are very concerned this might   
   be one of the missing six to eight women from the original West   
   Side group. However, there's no way we can confirm that at this   
   time."   
      
   In a statement, Albuquerque City Councilor Klarissa Peña said   
   the bones were found at a park being built near the site of a   
   memorial for the women and unborn child found buried on West   
   Mesa.   
      
   "I am saddened at the tragic loss of human life, and at the   
   thought that yet another family has had to endure years of   
   uncertainty and pain not knowing where their loved one was,"   
   Peña said.   
      
   Though no one has ever been charged, KRQE reports there are two   
   prime suspects in the case -- Lorenzo Montoya and Joseph Blea.   
      
   Montoya strangled a prostitute at his home, about a mile away   
   from the burial site, then was shot to death by the woman's pimp   
   as he was moving the woman's body to a car. The murders stopped   
   after he was killed.   
      
   Blea, a serial rapist, was sentenced to 90 years in prison after   
   DNA linked him to attacks on middle school girls in the 80s and   
   90s.   
      
   The victims include Jamie Barela, a 15-year-old who was last   
   seen by her family in 2004. Buried with her were Syllannia   
   Edwards, 15, a runaway from Lawton, Oklahoma, and Michelle   
   Valdez, 22, who was pregnant.   
      
   The killings are called the "West Mesa murders" because the   
   bodies were buried on the west side of Albuquerque.   
      
   Julie Gonzales, the sister of murder victim Doreen Marquez, told   
   KRQE the development made her "heart pound.""   
      
   "It just brings it all back. Back to day one. Ten years later,   
   back to day one. The digging, the finding, the scraping. It's   
   just like, 'wow,'" Gonzales said.   
      
   Neighbors told the station they have always expected that more   
   remains would be unearthed.   
      
   "The eeriest part to me is to know it's taken this long," one   
   said.   
      
   Police have received federal grant money to update their   
   technology systems to cross-reference information they get from   
   tips about the serial killings.   
      
   The city maintains a website about the case and a company has   
   printed cards featuring all 11 victims and encouraged businesses   
   to pass them out to keep the case in the public's eye.
