Bernalillo County DA gets go-ahead to exhume remains from Santa Fe National Cemetery
A judge approved exhuming a convicted rapist's remains from Santa Fe National Cemetery to test DNA linked to a 2002 assault case. A judge has approved a request from Bernalillo County prosecutors to exhume the remains of convicted rapist Michael Magirl from Santa Fe National Cemetery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The decision is part of a criminal investigation into whether Magirl's cremated remains can be linked to a 2002 sexual assault case through DNA evidence. This is the first time in four years that prosecutors have sought to exhumulate remains as part of an investigation. District Attorney Sam Bregman said his office has been working to clear a backlog of rape kits dating back decades. Despite concerns that the cremation of Magirl may make it more difficult for the lab to test for DNA, Bregmen said he is hopeful about finding answers to survivors and victims.
