Aletha Capps, 33, vanished in the winter of 1955 after being seen with Alva C. Quillin Jr. in Victor and Cripple Creek, Colorado. The last confirmed sighting away from Quillin was at the Home Cafe in Cripple Creek, where Aletha had a glass of milk and Quillin drank three beers. She suffered from a serious heart condition and needed medication several times a day and could not walk far without collapsing.

Quillin told investigators their car skidded off Rampart Range Road near Castle Rock and became stuck in a snowbank; he said they spent the night in the vehicle and that he hiked to Palmer Lake for help the next day. When he returned, Aletha was gone. He later said she had a heart attack, and he failed a polygraph. Authorities said they believed he knew more than he revealed, and his statements shifted during the probe. No charges were filed, no body was found, and Quillin died in 1992.

Who in Douglas County or the local area remembers Aletha or saw her in December 1955 and can help fill in the gaps about that winter day?
