EVELYN ROMERO PHONE INTERVIEW
Robbie Romero / KOB-TV file
A very interesting story is breaking in New Mexico today and is destined to dominate the evening news headlines. A young man met with Santa Fe Police on Wednesday and told them that he is the same Robbie Romero who went missing at age seven in 2000.
It’s a case I reported on while a reporter in New Mexico and it has long remained one of New Mexico’s most mysterious missing person’s cases.
This afternoon, I reached Evelyn Romero by phone. Her comments can be heard at the link at the top of this post.
Here are some links to today’s coverage of this story in New Mexico:
