Episode 7 The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre

The She Sees Weird People Podcast

Welcome back, everyone! Today's episode is both heart-wrenching and chilling as we dive into the tragic events of the Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre. This horrific crime took place on the morning of February 10, 1990, in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and left a community in shock and mourning.

We begin by introducing the victims and the setting of the crime. Stephanie Senac, the manager of the bowling alley, was accompanied by her 12-year-old daughter, Melissa, and Melissa's friend, Amy Hauser. The normal routine was shattered when two armed men entered the premises and forced everyone into the office at gunpoint.

The situation escalated rapidly as the gunmen collected money and then began shooting the victims, including young children, execution-style. The brutality of the crime is unimaginable, and we share the harrowing 911 call made by the brave Melissa, who despite her injuries, managed to call for help.

The episode explores the investigation that followed, including the nationwide search for the suspects and the challenges faced by law enforcement. We discuss the theories surrounding the motive, including the possibility of the gunmen searching for something specific and the potential involvement of organized crime.

As we reflect on the lasting impact of this tragedy on the victims' families and the community, we emphasize the importance of keeping the memory of the victims alive and the need for justice. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Las Cruces Police Department or New Mexico Crime Stoppers.

Join us next week for another episode as we continue to uncover the stories that need to be told. Until then, stay safe and take care.
