Police now believe Cox, Kilgore’s former fiance, took her from her home between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Her car was later found in the parking lot of a nearby shopping center.
Witnesses have come forward with reports that Kilgore and Cox were seen in metro Denver about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, the release said.
