Each of the following people is missing. Some have been missing for years, while others have only been gone a few months. Do you know anything that can help our investigators solve these missing persons cases?
Colleen Kay Barrett
Colleen Barrett was sharing a residence on the 5800 block of Rapp Street in Englewood with boyfriend
Robert Alurac until July 19, 2007, when she went missing. A few days later, on July 23, a real estate agent showing a home near Morrison discovered Alurac's body. Alurac had been shot.
Investigators believe that 45-year-old
Ronald Talmage picked up Colleen Barrett at her residence at noon on July 19, 2007. This is her last known whereabouts. Talmage may have traveled in or around the area southwest of Colorado Springs that day. He was driving a dark green 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Talmage was killed in a confrontation with the Douglas County SWAT team a few days after Alurac's body was identified.

She had met up with friends at the Grizzly Rose bar in Denver the night before her disappearance, and had visited a dating Web site for single parents on the morning of her disappearance.
