DENVER (KDVR) — “Their voices may now be silent . . . those who may know the truth are not,” the Colorado Bureau of Investigation shared as a part of its mission as it works to assist in bringing justice to cold case tragedies.

There are hundreds of unsolved homicide cases, long-term missing person cases, and unidentified remains cases in our state where at least three years have passed since the crime happened.

The Colorado cold case task force created a list of those cases dating back to 1970. The Problem Solvers are working to highlight cold cases in our state each week.

Who murdered Veronica Lucero?

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Denver Police Department are working to solve a cold case from 1995.

The investigation started on Aug. 12, 1995, when Veronica Lucero was found dead in the street near West 7th Avenue and Hazel Court.

The CBI said Lucero was last seen leaving a bar called “Top of Town” at West 6th Avenue and Knox Court, where she accepted a ride from a man.

The man has not been identified. No suspect information has been released.

To this day, Lucero’s murder remains unsolved.

If you have information about this case, please contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or submit a tip online.
