ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The maternal grandparents of a 10-year-old Albuquerque girl who was raped and murdered last August have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and some of its police officers.
The Albuquerque Journal (https://bit.ly/2w81LUg) reported Tuesday that the suit claims police failed to investigate child abuse reports prior to Victoria Martens’ death.
