Laurie Renee Lucas, 24, was living at the Weekly Motor Inn on East Colfax Avenue in Aurora, Colorado, when she went silent after a phone call with her mother in Iowa on June 8, 1990. Described as 5 feet 7 inches, about 130 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, glasses and poor dental condition, she had no confirmed contact after that June call. Her mother, Sandra Lucas, reported her missing to the Aurora Police Department on January 8, 1991, saying she had not heard from Laurie in at least six months.

Investigators focused on the last man known to be with Laurie, William James Bannister. Bannister told police he last saw Laurie in September or October 1990 and said she left with a roofer named Mike, reportedly heading to Texas. Authorities found his account unconvincing given his criminal history and later suspected his involvement, but lacked sufficient evidence to charge him; he stopped cooperating with further interviews. Laurie’s disappearance remains an open, unsolved investigation.

If anyone knew Laurie, where she stayed, worked, or the roofer called Mike, please share what you remember.
