About this Case:

Jocynda Irwin was last seen on April 18, 1990, by her family when she was entering her apartment located at 107 Williams Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She shared this apartment on and off with her boyfriend, Melvin Vahsholz. On April 19, 1990, at approximately 10:00am, her body was discovered in the vicinity of Rampart Range Road and Loy Gulch Road, just several miles from her residence. The cause of death is undetermined. Prior to her death, Irwin worked part time for Go Auto Salvage. She did not own a car and would often hitchhike. On April 18, 1990, Irwin attended a BBQ with Vahsholz and some of her family members. That night, she and Vahsholz returned to their apartment but Irwin decided to go out to a local bar, the Dynasty Lounge, by herself.
