Albuquerque police return some materials to Ron Erwin, keep others


KRQE in Albuquerque reports that police have returned some of the items taken during an August raid of properties owned by Joplin businessman Ron Erwin. The items were taken as part of the continuing investigation into the murder of 11 women in the West Mesa area.

Police searched photographer Ron Erwin’s home and business in Joplin, Missouri in August, seizing tens of thousands of pictures from the man who used to travel to Albuquerque for the state fair.
He hasn't been named as a suspect or even as a person of interest.
News 13 has learned that police returned two cameras they seized to Erwin last week. Police did keep one of the camera's straps. Sources said police still have numerous photographs, a laptop, and another camera that they took from that August search. 
 Police would not say if pictures that were released yesterday of another half dozen possible victims were taken from Erwin.

This man certainly has a "type" i.e. dark hair, large features, dark eyes, ethnic looking. I imagine the photographs are his trophy and I bet there are others the police did not release.
