Las Cruces Woman "Person Of Interest" In Murder Investigation

Bryanna Terry

Doña Ana County Sheriff’s detectives have identified a Las Cruces woman as a person of interest in the murder investigation of 18-year-old Dakota Lunceford.

Bryanna Terry, 19, is believed to have been in contact with Lunceford prior to Aug. 3 – the day detectives say his body was discovered off Glass Road in Mesilla.

Detectives initially made contact with Terry, but say she has since become uncooperative in the investigation.

Lunceford was last seen alive in Alamogordo on Friday, July 28. During his last phone conversation with his mom, he said he had traveled to Las Cruces on that same day.
