Dorothy Lori Jenkins, 57, vanished from a Burnt Mountain campsite northeast of Thomasville, Colorado on August 17, 2014. According to her boyfriend, she left the campsite about 2 p.m. for a walk while he napped; when he woke she was gone. He returned to their home in Aspen before reporting her missing the next day. At the time Lori was last seen she wore a maroon tank top or t-shirt, beige or light-colored shorts and inexpensive Wal-Mart sneakers and had no hiking or camping gear.

An extensive multi-agency search followed, involving the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office, Vail Mountain Rescue Group, Aspen Search and Rescue, the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office, air assets and Garfield County K9s, but it produced no leads and was later suspended while the investigation remained open. In summer 2019 decomposed human remains were found in Fryingpan Valley within about ten miles of the 2014 campsite; authorities said it was too soon to confirm identity or cause of death.

If anyone was in the Burnt Mountain or Fryingpan Valley area in August 2014 or remembers seeing a woman matching Lori’s description, please share what you know with investigators.
