Debra Hageman, 39, was a resident of Burns, Colorado, when her car went off Colorado River Road and into the Colorado River on April 14, 1996. Emergency crews recovered the vehicle but Debra was not in it. The Colorado State Patrol initially presumed she had been in the car and drowned, her body carried away by the current, and searches of the river and banks turned up nothing.

In November 1996 an anonymous caller to the District Attorney’s Office alleged Debra’s husband had murdered her and buried her in the Dotsero area. Law enforcement searched the named area with cadaver dogs; the dogs alerted at two locations but subsequent searches produced no remains or burial evidence. The investigation remains open with the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and Debra’s whereabouts are unknown.

Did anyone in the Burns or Dotsero area recall seeing Debra or her car around mid-April 1996?
