A woman was abducted after a car crash and later found dead. Authorities are still looking for information on what happened.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking the identification of the person(s) involved in the death of 22-year-old Jessica Arredondo. 

Arredondo was last seen alive on November 25, 1988, when she dropped her boyfriend off at Neil’s, a bar in Glendale, south of Denver, according to the Denver Bureau of Investigation Cold Case files website

Her car, a red 1988 Mustang convertible, was found abandoned a few blocks away from the bar at east Seventh Street and Jackson Street in Denver. The car appeared to have been involved in an accident. 

Witnesses reported seeing Arredondo being abducted from the accident site by “‘several unknown male suspects,’” according to the details of her case. 

The next day, her body was located on the side of US 36 near Estes Park in Larimer County. The investigation revealed Arredondo had suffered fatal blows to her head. 

Arredondo was a white woman with black eyes and hair. She stood at 5’5” and weighed 120 pounds at the time of her death.
