Jeanette Louise Baca was 17 when her body was found near Conifer, Colorado, on June 11, 1978. Hikers discovered her nude remains discarded down a 10-foot embankment off Foxton Road, about 6.7 miles south of US Highway 285. Investigators estimated the body had been at the scene for five to ten days.

On June 20 some of Jeanette’s personal belongings were found roughly 1.5 miles from the recovery site; some items had been burned, a detail that suggested an attempt to conceal identity or destroy evidence. No arrests were made and no suspects have been publicly named, and the case has remained unsolved.

Did anyone in the Conifer area in 1978 recognize Jeanette or recall anyone who might have been connected to those locations?
