The Forum – The Case of Windy Point Jane Doe

Murder Mystery at The Forum

Her remains were found July 7, 1994, by a hiker exploring the Uncompahgre Plateau. The hiker found them near Windy Point, one of the high marks on the Divide Road, which runs across the Plateau about 25 miles west of Montrose. The next day, the Montrose County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation into her identity and how and why she died.

Her identity remained a mystery for nearly 30 years.

Come hear the rest of the story and how advances in forensic science and technology led to her identification.

Montrose Sheriff’s Office Commander Ted Valerio and Sheriff Gene Lillard will share the story and where the case stands today.
