Foul play suspected

A Zuni woman reported missing by family members last Friday was found deceased after 7 pm May 16.

Gallup Police Department Lt. Rosanne Morrissette said that Mary Pablito, 31, is likely the victim of foul play, although she didn’t go into details of what detectives found at the scene. She was found at the intersection of Maloney Avenue and Allison Road.

“She was found in the area by family searching for her,” she said.

Morrissette said the preliminary results of an autopsy should shed some light on the cause of her death. Results for the complete autopsy and toxicology testing could take up to six weeks.

According to a Facebook post by one family member, Pablito was last seen in Black Rock area of Zuni Pueblo near the hospital Friday at around 7:30 pm. She was wearing grey pants and a grey Steelers T-shirt with yellow stripes on the sleeves.

The FBI and Zuni Police are assisting the GPD with this case.

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call Crimestoppers (505) 722-6161. You can remain anonymous.
