ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - The families of women whose remains were found in February in a desert subdivision plot on Albuquerque's west side say they are worried people will forget the case.

The victims' families reminded the public of the crimes at the Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, event in Albuquerque yesterday.

The families handed out 1,000 flyers with pictures of the victims and those who are missing.

Elsie Montano, an aunt of one of the victims, says her family keeps hoping and praying the police will find the person who killed the women.

Albuquerque police say they are narrowing down suspects. No arrests have been made so far.

A $50,000 reward is being offered.

Of the 11 bodies and a fetus found at the site, four people are unidentified.
