Do you have any information?
The Santa Fe Police Department is seeking help from the public to help crack several unsolved murder cases.
In addition to the case involving the 1987 killing of Patricio Pacheco, police are seeking information in the following cases:
Vickie Griego, 25, was raped, beaten and strangled with her own belt after leaving a party around midnight on July 8, 1978. Her nude body was discovered five days later near her scattered clothing in a field off Calle Cielo.
Tamara Britton, 24 when she was reported missing on Aug. 8, 1984. She was a sales person at West Coast Sound, located on Cerrillos at the time of her disappearance, and simply disappeared. Interestingly, she was a former roommate of Teal Pittington, who went missing a week later.
Teal Pittington, 18, was last seen alive on Aug. 15, 1984 in the parking lot of a Cerrillos Road variety store. Her remains were discovered a month later in a culvert about a mile south of the New Mexico Girls Ranch on U.S. 285 south of Lamy. Investigators say she was strangled with her own bra.
Susan LaPorte, 25, of Boston, was visiting a friend in Santa Fe when she was strangled Dec. 4, 1985. She had borrowed her friend’s car to go find a quiet place in which to read. A jogger found her body on a dirt road near what is now The Lodge across from the Santa Fe National Cemetery.
Diedra Young, 25, was a paralegal and part-time ski instructor who was found dead inside a home on Galisteo that had been deliberately set on fire on Jan. 8, 1998.
Annie Tapia, 72, was found dead inside Rockin’ TP Lounge, a Cerrillos Road bar she owned, in March 1995. She had been beaten to death with a baseball bat.
Larry Roybal, 74, was found dead in his Don Diego Avenue home by a family member June 15, 2014.
“The more information we have from people who saw Mr. Roybal or any suspicious activity in the area could provide the piece of the puzzle we need,” a police spokeswoman said two days after the crime. “No matter how many pieces of the puzzle we already have, we need those pieces to fit together in order to make an arrest.”
