2 girls abducted from yogurt shop, left in remote field

In March of 1990, according to Crime Stoppers, two young girls were abducted from a yogurt shop at closing time near East Arapahoe Road and Interstate 25.

They were abducted by an unidentified suspect who managed to evade capture despite extensive investigations, Crime Stoppers said.

The suspect then drove the girls to a remote area in Douglas County where Crime Stoppers said he allegedly sexually assaulted and abandoned the victims in a field.

Suspect had ‘distinctive’ features

At the time of the crime, the suspect was described as a white man in his 30s with a pockmarked face, a cleft chin and a bandage on his cheek. He was last seen driving an older model of a full-sized white van with a brown interior, according to police.

“These distinctive features, particularly the cleft chin and the condition of his skin, make the suspect identifiable to those who may have known him or seen him around the time of the crime,” Crime Stoppers said.

Crime Stoppers shared sketches of the suspect based on the victims’ descriptions:

Police and the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers are hoping that someone will recognize the suspect and come forward.
