On October 28, 1980, the body of 15-year-old Stephanie Ann Bauman, a White/Caucasian female, was found in a ditch near County Road 173 and US 36 in Centennial, Colorado. She was discovered without clothes and with bruising; her clothing was later recovered in a pile nearly a mile from the location where her body was found. The official cause of death was recorded as hypothermia.

In the weeks before her death Stephanie had been living in a group home for troubled youths and ran away about two weeks earlier. She is believed to have stayed with various acquaintances while attempting to contact family who lived out of state. DNA evidence has been collected in the case, and investigators have examined possible links to other unsolved homicides from that era in the Denver metro area, but as of late 2022 no suspect had been publicly identified or arrested.

Does anyone have information about Stephanie’s movements or acquaintances from October 1980 that could help investigators?
