Bryan Dale Ambrose, 23, left Oklahoma for Colorado in late summer 1982 to find work and support his wife of five years and their young daughter. He called his wife after arriving, optimistic about three job prospects and wanting the family to join him, but that call was the last contact she had with him. Bryan was last seen September 8, 1982, leaving the Rainbow Motel on West Colorado Avenue in Colorado Springs, reportedly heading for the Denver metropolitan area. His Ford pickup was found abandoned in Pueblo on September 9 with the license plates missing.

Investigators learned Bryan may have planned to meet a man named Carlos Anthony Torres, known as Cat, who had a black cat tattoo on his left shoulder. An acquaintance later claimed Bryan had been drinking in Denver and was arrested, but no arrest record was found. Bryan was described as 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches, 155 to 170 pounds, with sandy blond hair, hazel eyes, and a slight gap between his front teeth. His disappearance remains unsolved and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office still lists him as missing.

If anyone knew Bryan, his movements in Colorado that September, or has information about Carlos Anthony Torres, please come forward.
