Thank you to the FBI for having us at today's press conference which announced the improved reporting of Missing Indigenous Persons in New Mexico and the Navajo Nation. All agencies present today have committed their organizations to collaborate on investigations regarding missing indigenous people.
"We appreciate the FBI’s work to vet and refine the list of reported missing Indigenous persons. Our MMIWR Unit, created in December of 2021, will use the advanced investigative techniques that have already helped solve two cases to follow-up on leads generated from this list," said Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torrez. "We encourage relatives of missing Indigenous persons who are not on this list to reach out to local law enforcement. Our office stands ready to work with you."

Christesen, who is now running for sheriff in San Juan County, still fears that Danny Tarango’s web of corruption may have been far broader than the public has been told. In the wake of the Countryman and Salazar arrests, the New Mexico state police’s narcotics division was quietly disbanded and reorganized. The fact that the state said so little about its actions leads Christesen and others to believe that the conspiracy may have involved other, still-unnamed, corrupt cops, border patrol agents, and public officials.
Peter Robertson, Senior Trial Attorney, is a Veteran and proud member of our community. Today we recognize his service and continued work at the #BernCoDA’s Office. We encourage others to hire Veterans and always remember their dedication and sacrifice. #NationalHireAVeteranDay
