On the morning of March 12, 2017, 16-year-old Natalie Partida and her 15-year-old friend Derek Greer were found dead on the shoulder of Old Pueblo Road near Fountain, Colorado. Both Coronado High School students had been shot multiple times in what authorities described as execution-style killings after being abducted at gunpoint. Investigators say the abduction began over a dispute involving a stolen purse; the teenagers were driven around while their captors searched for a place to kill them.

A confession from one suspect says Natalie pleaded for her life and tried to use Facebook to say goodbye to family but could not log in quickly enough. She and Derek were forced from the vehicle and shot at close range. Multiple people were arrested in connection with the crimes, including Gustavo Marquez, Diego Casper Chacon, Joseph Arthur Rodriquez, and Marco Antonio Garcia-Bravo; investigators described a possible gang-related motive with suspicions that Partida had been helping a rival gang.

Did anyone in Fountain or at Coronado High see Natalie, Derek, or the vehicle described in March 2017?
