Jones was last seen the day before in the early afternoon arguing with her husband of 9 days in front of their residence at 1216 York Street, Denver.

Four suspects were identified and eliminated through DNA testing. Anyone with information regarding this case, is asked to please contact the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
