Print

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

Gallup Police Department Det. 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 more 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, Mary 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 is assisting with this case.
