- I watched the show Saturday night after we taped it. I was appalled at such BS that 48 hours had written. I was personnally interviewed by the police after the crime and found that they harrassed me as much as they must have Renee or Mike Allen. I know them both well and have been on many family outings with Bernadette, Craig, Renee and Mike and his family and have never felt there might have been anything out of the ordinary. The information presented that Mike was going out of town the next day was so bogus. His family did not leave until after the tragic murder of 5 other ABQ citizens, two who were police officers. I feel that this took the heat off the ABQ police department looking for viable evidence to the Ohlemachers murderer. I also spoke with Mike before and after his interview and he said he spoked candidly with the interviewer (Sara Huisanga). The way this story was approached was not to find out who the murderer was but the sensationalize a tragedy that took place. I have lost all respect for the 48 hours Television show and expecially for the producers who are more interested in the entertainment value than real reporting.

- I''''m sorry but families are the only people who truly knows the real you, just as I''''m sure Renee''''s family knows the REAL Rene

that''s what I was thinking while watching the show. Surely everybody in the family didn''t just hate her so much that they are purposely trying to frame her. No one could keep me from my parents graves under any circumstances...... something is amiss - Reply to this comment
- I''m sorry but families are the only people who truly knows the real you, just as I''m sure Renee''s family knows the REAL Renee. Yes everyone grieves different, and there is no problem with that, but only her family knows the actions that took place during this time. How some people can call this family horrible is beyond me. They were not in the house when they''re loved ones were murdered, how can they be the horrible ones? Because they wanted to find out who did it and the only living person in the house is acting suspicious? In the show it stated that Renee went to live with these people. It is obvious they wanted to believe her otherwise they wouldn''t have taken her in. Actions speak louder than words.

It wouldnt matter if they did a background check on the officers. They always cover for eachother at APD. There has been many killing by officers and there is always something to prove their innocents. Just like the officer that ran over the woman when he was leaving a gay bar drunk. They had video of him but of course it was a person that looked like him. The officer that his wife committed "suicide" with his weapon out of apd area but other apd officers showed up and contaminated the scene. Also when my son was killed by the son of a retired apd officer and also he had a brother that was an officer I was told they didnt test the kid for gun powder since it would give them a false positive if he had touched dirt. One officer said they could trace who the gun belonged to and then I was told by the homicide detective I was lied to. Of course if you try to write the Politicians in New Mexico they wont help. This is to include Mr. Richardson who told me it was the schools responsibility to teach the kids gun control and he also told me I should go to counseling because he supports his police department. I still have that letter....... Only in Albuquerque. - Reply to this comment

- Anyone that has ever had to deal with the Albuquerque Police Department knows they are the most corrupt police department out there and as for Brandenberg she''s just a disgrace to the human race. While investigate this murder case someone should also investigate this corrupt police department.
As for the murders I do think the daughter my know who did it and maybe was involved some how. Maybe her and Mr. Santiago had a little something going on in private and he figured maybe if the parents were dead and she got the insurance money she would help him get out of debt and maybe she figured she would play him so he would kill her parents and she could get the money and then leave him. Either way they were both involved and maybe they figured it would be best if neither one of them told on the other. Just what I seem to get from the whole story. - Reply to this comment
- The pictures of the gun bullet don''t match. All of a sudden the bullet is there in the third picture. Obviously planted by someone. The police maybe. Hmmmm....
Ron, "Come on" if you can''t handle the pressure of the job. Quit! Or find a part time job in that area of work.
Renee, why did you call your mother''s "close friend" first after calling 911? It would seem you would call the immediate families first. Hmmmm....
What happened with the dog barking? It was stated that he didn''t bark when the killer /intruder entered the home. The dog must have known who it was. Hmmmm.... - Reply to this comment
- Just read this story, and I reckon Mr Santiago should sue the Albq police dept for harresment. How did the bullet end up in the bag after photographs where taken. As for Renee, leave her be, no ones knows how shock affects people. I know myself when I go into shock I laugh myself silly. Albq police get out there and do your job.

- I am wondering how the police in this case are so intent on the weapon being a "Ruger" handgun. With only shell casings and most likely the bullets removed from the victims, how can one manufacturer out of at least dozens that make 9MM handguns be identified? This doesn''t even take into consideration any military surplus from anywhere in the world in this same caliber. Sure amazing the police identified Ruger as the weapon.
