A ninth body has been unearthed in the New Mexican desert in what one expert believes is the work of a serial killer, reports KRQE-TV. Only one of the victims in the secret graveyard outside Albuquerque—a prostitute reported missing in 2003—has been identified. There are currently 24 women listed as missing in Albuquerque, including several prostitutes. Police believe all of the victims, including a pregnant women, were killed between 2003-2005 and were buried by the same individual.
"This has all the trappings of a serial murder case," said a University of New Mexico professor who has studied 1000 serial killers.
