It wasn't an on-camera interview, but Joplin businessman Ron Erwin, whose homes and business were searched yesterday in connection with 11 murders in the West Mesa area of Albuquerque. he bodies of 11 women and one fetus were uncovered in a mass grave last year.

Erwin told KOAM he is consulting with an attorney and that this situation "was too weird."

Good. When this is all over, I hope he sues the Globe and all local media outlets who have consistently referred to him as a "person of interest." The New Mexico news media outlets and law enforcement officials have repeatedly specified that he is neither a "person of interest" nor a "suspect." I'm also disgusted with the reporter who called his mother. And if they had anything on him, they'd have an arrest warrant.


This man is a lifelong resident and businessman who hasn't had any legal problems or any previous complaints. He deserves the benefit of the doubt at the very least.

The FBI raids you two homes and two businesses and all you can say is the situation is too weird and you are consulting an attorney? First off, if the FBI showed up, My attorney would be the first person I called and he would be present while the FBI was serving the warrant. Secondly, I would surely find something more outspoken to say other than it is weird. Something like...I don't know why they are targeting me...I know nothing about those murders. If I had no connection I would be screaming at the top of my lungs

Maybe he isn't a serial killer, but I don't think Ron is squeaky clean, and I am afraid that there may be a darker side of him than what most people are willing to believe right now.

Why do you believe thAt, porky? I don't have an attorney that I can just beckon at a moment's notice, and I think most people don't. I think there's a darker side to porky. The local amateurs in the media ruined this guy's reputation, and now all they can say is "nevermind, false alarm."???

two weeks ago I asked him out for dinner, he has not had the time to call, since his life has fallen apart and I do hope he still calls. I am a business women and could have my pick of men. I asked him because he is his own person, and is not like other men. And I do not believe he is apart of this mess.
