Darlene Ann Wallace was 35 when she disappeared from Colorado Springs in the winter of 2005. On January 17 she was at a relative’s home near the 2000 block of South Corona Avenue and was seen leaving around noon with her boyfriend. When she did not return, her mother filed a missing persons report. A few days later the boyfriend called the mother saying he did not know Darlene’s whereabouts; after that she has not been seen or heard from.

Darlene was described as mixed White and Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 125 to 135 pounds, with brown hair (sometimes bleached blonde) and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks include pierced ears, a small burn scar on her left cheek, pockmarks, a mole on the back of her upper thigh, an unspecified facial tattoo and past fractures to her nose and ribs. She used the nicknames Didi and Ann and sometimes the alias Michelle Garcia. Her case is listed as an endangered missing person by the Colorado Springs Police Department and investigators have reported few leads.

If anyone knew Darlene, saw her after January 17, 2005, or has information about where she might be, please come forward to share what you know.
