ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Police have discovered the remains of an 11th person on Albuquerque's West Mesa.

During a news conference Wednesday afternoon, police also announced the identity of another one of the victims whose remains were found on the construction site. They said Michelle Valdez of Albuquerque was the pregnant woman whose remains were found Monday. She was 22 when she disappeared in 2005.
