Kathy Paquin, a 62-year-old woman, was last seen at her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on August 1, 2012. After she was reported missing by her brother on August 15, investigators quickly turned their attention to her neighbors, Christopher and Brittany Blattner. The couple had been withdrawing large sums of money from Paquin's bank account, totaling $63,000 shortly after she disappeared.
Christopher later confessed to his wife that he had killed and dismembered Paquin, though her remains have never been recovered.
Christopher Blattner was already known to law enforcement due to a criminal history involving drugs and a previous murder charge. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Paquin’s case, among other charges, and was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Despite his plea, he failed to provide the location of Paquin’s body, leaving her family without closure. Her disappearance remains an enduring mystery, although authorities consider it a case of foul play due to the circumstances surrounding her neighbor's confession.Last Seen: Aug 1, 2012
