The bodies were found in a red pickup truck, left to rot in the dry air of the high desert.
Two of the four corpses had been dismembered. Three were stuffed in plastic storage totes.
And a killer had vanished in the badlands of New Mexico.
The pickup had been dumped in an airport parking garage at Albuquerque International Sunport, hidden in plain sight beneath two burned out streetlights on the top level. But the smell of death gave it away some 48 hours later.

NEW JERSEY Gov. Phil Murphy said Wednesday said he s almost ready to provide new guidance for graduations and New Jersey beaches, and he reaffirmed his position that schools should be fully in-person.
Murphy said he ll be ready to provide guidance next week that will allow more normality, assuming that the state s coronavirus numbers continue to trend in the right direction after going a little bit sideways Tuesday and Wednesday, Murphy said. . But assuming they do, and our prospects and optimism remain high, we re going to give a pretty significant amount of guidance by early to mid next week, Murphy said.

And that’s only if the event, tentatively scheduled for May 22, takes place at all.
The current outdoor gathering limit of 200 people isn’t high enough to accommodate the large class of 380 students, said Mike Vicente, director of student activities and athletics. By the end of April, the administrators will review state guidelines and decide whether to forge ahead selling tickets and making seating arrangements, he said.
