According to the Lea County Sheriff’s Office in New Mexico, the alert was given by the motorist, on condition of anonymity. The latter declared having made the “disturbing encounter”
with a hitchhiker, Cecil Villanueva, on November 5. Loaded with two bags, he got into the car and started to “saying very alarming things”. He would then “threw objects outside the vehicle, including some looked like human bones”, specifies the sheriff’s office.
Human bones found along the route of the car
Although concerned, the driver from Jal continued his route and dropped off his passenger at the location of his choice. He then went to the police station, where he described Villanueva.
What followed was even more sinister. By carrying out research into the route taken by the vehicle, the authorities actually identified several pieces of bone. A pathologist confirmed its human origin.
10 to 20 human skulls discovered in the suspect’s home
A few days later, a search was carried out at Villanueva’s home, where he was “suspected of retaining human remains”. On site, the authorities discovered 10 to 20 human skulls.

in recent years“. These were entrusted to the Office of Medical Investigator in Albuquerque for analysis.
