The five bodies found on Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico this past week have been identified by relatives as Leticia George (adult), Vanessa George (adult), Zoe Becenti (child), Chloe Becenti (child), and Haleigh Toledo (child).
It appears the bodies recovered are of the missing women and children who were the subject of a recent Albuquerque Police Department missing persons bulletin issued Jan. 5.
The Office of the Medical Investigator will make a definitive determination on the identities of all the recovered bodies.
The FBI, U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico State Police, Santa Ana Police and Conservation Departments, Jemez Pueblo Police Department, Navajo Nation Criminal Investigation Section, and Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office are involved in the investigation.
An extensive investigation has been conducted and continues.
“As this case remains under investigation, no further comment can be made at this time,” Albuquerque FBI Spokesman Frank Fisher said.
Fisher stated in a Jan. 10 press release that “autopsies are pending to determine the cause of each death, but foul play by another party is not suspected at this time.”
