She wrote to family saying I will contact you, but don't contact me. She was starting her own life." Still, when family stopped hearing from Woodman in the fall of 2004, they started looking for her. They eventually filed a missing persons report with Albuquerque police on Feb. 28, 2005. The report said she'd last been living with Paul Eugene Perea, then 28. Woodman was Perea's girlfriend, though he was married at the time, according to court records. Police have not named suspects in the case and would not comment on Perea. Perea, now 32, is serving 14 years in prison for raping a 13-year-old girl in January 2005, the same month Woodman's skeleton was found. He also served time at age 19 after he was convicted of beating his abusive father to death at an Albuquerque softball park.

As far as the timing of the thing goes, only a few people there know what's going on.’’ The Browns are more than happy to have Quinn sit on the bench this season, but beyond is anyone's guess.
