A young woman was mysteriously found dead in a field with a bloody knife and shards of glass around her – but no idea about how she died.
Magdalena Rascon, 26, was missing by her concerned family in Santa Fe, who last saw her 'cut' out through the window of her front door.
She had fallen in with a bad crowd, drugs did, had a friend who did not know her family and was often seen and crying outside of her house, the police heard.
As an addition to the intrigues, her mother, Sylvia Martinez, said the police that a man called her and claimed that he hosted Rason and demanded a ransom.
Only days later, on December 14, the police were called over her body, found on the other side of her house 'half nude' and partially eaten by animals.
Rason's torso, arms, hands, many of her clothing and the glass fragments were covered with brown or red 'spots', revealed a newly released police report.
However, the medical researcher's office advised that no signs of trauma were observed on Magdalena 'and the report did not indicate what the stains left.
However, several officers who were quoted in the report described that Rason was covered with blood and missed huge parts of her flesh – probably from animals that eat it.
The police said they were still trying to determine the cause of death, but that it was currently not treated if a murder and meth was found in her system.
Magdalena Rason, 26, was mysteriously found dead in a field in Santa Fe with a bloody knife and shards of glass around her – but no idea about how she died
This was despite the fact that Santa fe police chief Paul Joye called Rason's death “suspected” in the days after her body was discovered.
The autopsy report has not yet been completed and the knife is still being tested at the forensic laboratory of the New Mexico Department of Public Safety.
The confusing mystery of Rason's death and the lack of answers from the police who frustrated her deeply sadly -driven family more than two months later.
Rason was in trouble for months before she disappeared, her family and witnesses who were cited in the report, the police told.
Cars saw her pick up from her apartment in San Tierra Apartments, over Camino Juliana from the field, all hours of the day and night.
A neighbor did not only say that she often screamed or cried outside the building, she was dancing with barely any clothes at other times.
Another told investigators that she would always see a man fighting with Magdalena in the apartments'.
Martinez saw her daughter for the last time on December 10 and stared out the window of her front door and looked 'spooked' out and wore a cheetah print scarf that later lay on the grass next to her body.
Rason had fallen with a bad crowd, stupid drugs, had a boyfriend who did not know her family and was often seen and crying outside of her house

Later she received a phone call from a man on a number registered by Mexico, claiming that he kidnapped Rason and demanded a ransom.
Martinez hung up. It sounded like a scam, although she could hear a woman cry in the background.
But no one in her family could reach Rason, and they finally reported that she was missing.
Even the way her body was found had inexplicable details. The woman who called 911 at 1.25 pm claimed that it was her mother who found the body – only a day before.
The older woman, she said, told her that she called it on that day – December 13 – about 11 am, but was told to report it to the San Tierra Apartments Office.
Dispatchers, however, told the researchers that there was no phone call about the body that day, according to the report.
A man who lived in the neighborhood also told the police that he saw a gray pick -up truck drive on the field on December 14 and 'dumps something'.
The police found tire tracks about 10 ft of her body that led from Camino Juliana (the road that is her apartment building) to Agua FrÃa Street.
The report noted that they investigated the area that was looking for CCTV images, but did not say if they found it.
The confusing mystery of Rason's death and the lack of answers from the police more than two months later has frustrated her deeply saddled family
Rason's father Hector Gabriel Rason has been behind bars since October in the prison of Santa Fe County, without bail, accused of drug trafficking.
He asked to be admitted from prison to attend his daughter's funeral, but was refused by judge Mary Marlowe Sommer of the state district for concern about his long criminal history and the skipping of the court in the past.
Hector Rason is charged in two separate cases of the possession of fentanyyl pills – more than 17,000 in one case and 2,600 to the other.
He was also accused of human trafficking in a federal case after half a pound of cocaine and around 36,000 fentanyl pills were found in his house.
That case collapsed after the deputy Patrick Ficke of Santa Fe County Sheriff was accused of misconduct.
