20 Human Skulls Discovered in New Mexico Home Tied to Missing Woman

Authorities investigate potential links between skulls found at a property and the 2019 disappearance of Angela McManes.

The discovery was prompted by a resident's report of an unsettling encounter with Cecil Villanueva, who allegedly discarded human bones from a vehicle.
Villanueva was staying at a property in Jal, New Mexico, where bone fragments and evidence of 10 to 20 human skulls were found.
The remains are being analyzed for identification, with a focus on determining connections to Angela McManes and other possible victims.
Angela McManes, a mother of three, disappeared in 2019, and her last known residence was near the property under investigation.
Villanueva has not been charged in connection to the skulls, but is in custody on an unrelated charge, and claims to have purchased the skulls online.
