Hallelujah! 2020 in Review - Missing person, mysterious bodies highlighted year in crime
2020 was a year full of stories about shootings in Silver City, while human remains kept turning up in the forests of Grant County.
2020’s missing and dead
In late May, Silver City resident John Waters was reported missing by his wife, Amelia Waters; in August, Waters’ skull — and only his skull — was discovered by a hiker in the forest outside Pinos Altos. Authorities believed at the time that Waters may have been consumed by bears, but hadn’t determined a cause of death. Amelia Waters did not respond to an inquiry from the Daily Press last week regarding the current status of the investigation into the fate of her husband.
