IT’S UP TO THE OMI TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE DEATH OF A 51 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO WALKED AWAY FROM HER CAMPSITE IN MANZANO STATE PARK LAST FRIDAY … AND WAS FOUND DEAD OVER THE WEEKEND. SEARCH AND RESCUE CREWS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS FOUND BARBARA BACA’S BODY IN VERY ROUGH TERRAIN IN A CANYON.
THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT THINKS BACA SUCCUMBED TO THE COLD OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES, BUT IT’S NOT CLEAR YET IF THERE WERE OTHER FACTORS INVOLVED IN HER DEATH.
