Gary Jerome Rose, 35, was last seen in Arvada, Colorado, in October 1988 and reported missing to the Denver Police Department on November 21, 1988. He is described as Black / African American, six feet tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes.

In June 1989 Gary’s vehicle was reported in a remote area southwest of Yampa, near the Gardner Park Reservoir; the Routt County Sheriff’s Office was notified and impounded the car on July 8, 1989. How the vehicle came to be left in that secluded location and how long it had been there before being reported are not known. The investigation is now a cold case handled by the Routt County Sheriff’s Office under case number 89-04367.

The discovery of the abandoned car shifted the search into Routt County but did not resolve what happened to Gary. If anyone knew Gary, saw him in Arvada in October 1988, or has information about his vehicle near Gardner Park Reservoir, please come forward.
