Eric Todd Ewing was 43 and well known in Aurora’s homeless community when he disappeared in late summer 2018. Nicknamed Too Tall for his 6 feet 9 inches height, he was a familiar presence around East 6th Avenue and Peoria Street and East Colfax Avenue and Florence Street, and remained in regular contact with his mother, two brothers and four sisters before he vanished.

On August 20, 2018, a caller reported a large amount of blood behind the Del Mar Apartments on Del Mar Circle. DNA testing matched that blood to Eric, and K-9 teams tracked from the scene to the Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site Landfill. A nearly twelve-hour search of about one acre there found no further evidence or human remains. Although the blood suggested a violent encounter, authorities have said the investigation is not being treated as a homicide due to lack of additional evidence.

No trace of Eric has been found since the blood was discovered. If anyone knew Eric’s movements that summer or saw him around the Del Mar Apartments or the landfill, please share what was seen or heard.
