ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A recent KRQE News 13 investigation highlights the number of cases Albuquerque Police has not been able to forward to prosecution due to a lack of victim cooperation. APD says the problem often leads to suspects going on to commit more crimes, rather than facing the criminal justice system for initial allegations.
