Soocial media is ablaze with rumors regarding the Kneeling Nun's recent disappearance.
Where did she go? Did someone steal her? Did she fall down?
While some people claim it naturally slipped into the landscape. Other people reported loud explosions in the area. No one we spoke with at the Chino Mine had the clearance or authority to comment publicly. No one from the NM Mine Safety and Health Administration was available for comment.

Silver City Police Department officers were dispatched to 307 E. College Avenue on Tuesday, Mar. 28, 2023, in reference to a disturbance call. The caller advised a Grant County Regional Dispatch Authority dispatcher that Jason Abeyta was stealing items, throwing rocks, and on caller's property having an active CTW for caller's property.
Officers, according to an SCPD incident report, made contact with Jason Abeyta, 40, homeless of Silver City, at the intersection of College Avenue and Corbin Street. Abeyta denied being on the victim's property or throwing rocks at the victim. Abeyta stated he did pick up a rock but only placed it on a green light spot, and stated the property belongs to him. The officer noted Abeyta was rambling and did not make sense when talking with him.
The report said officers were shown video footage by the victim which showed Abeyta on the victim's property and throwing rocks, which the victim described as being about three-inches in diameter, at the victim, hitting him on his right shin.
