Odell Vest was 21 when he disappeared from Towaoc, Colorado, in the summer of 2000. He was last seen at a house party on Lafayette Street on or about July 10 or 11 and never heard from again. Those who knew him said he was not known to travel far and did not have a driver’s license, details his family found troubling as he vanished without a trace.

The Ute Mountain Tribal Police Department investigated from the start, but for nearly two decades the case produced few leads. The FBI’s Denver Division later reopened the file as part of a national effort on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons and now states investigators believe Odell was murdered. A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Odell, attended that party, or has information about his movements around July 10–11, 2000, please come forward.
