It has been five years to the day since Deborah Ann Heriford was last heard from, and Colorado Springs police are asking the public to keep her case in the forefront of their minds.
Heriford did not show up for her job as a school crossing guard on March 31, 2011. Her dog was found wandering a few blocks from her home that day.
“Her disappearance is considered suspicious,” officials said in a Thursday news release, “and the police department believes there could be foul played involved.”
Colorado Springs police say detectives continue to investigate her disappearance.
At the time she went missing, Heriford was described as 51 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall, approximately 160 pounds and as having brown hair and brown eyes.
The Colorado Springs Police Department asks anyone with information on the case to call 719-444-7000.
