“While Colorado law enforcement agencies have recorded a number of solved cold cases in the past decade, we must never lose sight of the families without answers about their missing loved ones,” said CBI Director Chris Schaefer. “While we are making great strides in incorporating emerging technologies as part of some cold case investigations, we must continue to focus our resources and support families who are navigating the challenges associated with having a missing loved one.”
Family members and friends are asked to share a short tribute about their loved one on the Colorado Missing Person Day Memoriam page created in their honor.
