ALAMOSA — Prosecutors have dropped a burglary case against a man accused of breaking into the home of a missing woman from Alamosa.
Twenty-year-old Jose Luis Meraz had been charged with breaking into 21-year-old Angelica Sandoval’s apartment in November. The Valley Courier reports the charges against him were dropped this week because Sandoval was unavailable to testify.
Sandoval was last seen Feb. 23 returning from a trip to do laundry with her baby. She went back to her car after putting some laundry in her house and hasn’t been seen since.
District Attorney David Mahonee says the case was dismissed “without prejudice,” which means it could be refiled when Sandoval is found.
