Colleen Kay Barrett, 46, was last seen about noon on July 19, 2007, at the Englewood, Colorado, home she shared with her boyfriend, Robert Alurac. Investigators say a 45-year-old man named Ronald Talmage picked her up that day; they may have driven in a borrowed dark green 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Colorado plate PBE6081, toward areas southwest of Colorado Springs, possibly including Highway 24, Highway 42 and the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. That was the last reported sighting or contact with Barrett. She left behind a teenage daughter.

A few days later, on July 23, 2007, Alurac’s body was found outside a home for sale near Morrison, Colorado; he had been shot and likely dead for several days. Talmage became a person of interest but was killed during an attempted arrest by a Douglas County SWAT team on August 5, 2007, after reportedly threatening officers with a gun. Barrett is described as brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 2 inches, about 130 pounds, with an abdominal scar and an unknown tattoo on her buttock. Authorities do not consider her a suspect in Alurac’s murder but believe she may have important information.

If anyone knew Colleen’s movements after July 19, 2007, or saw the described Jeep, can you share what you remember?
