Gloria Berreth, 38, had custody of their two daughters who were 5 and 11 in 1994.
She disappeared on the same day she was to meet her ex-husband at a Colorado Springs restaurant.
The case will be tougher to solve now that key evidence was mistakenly destroyed, The Denver Post previously reported.
A series of events in 1994 led Colorado Springs police to call Michael Ervin Berreth a person of interest in the disappearance of his ex-wife.
According to surviving Colorado Springs police records, detectives believe Gloria Berreth was the victim of violence.
A woman answering Michael Berreth's cellular phone Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013, said that he is not interested in commenting about his former wife's disappearance.
The turbulence in the marriage between Gloria and Michael Berreth was documented in court records in the months leading up to her disappearance.
Gloria Berreth filed a restraining order against Michael Berreth, a former Army soldier, on April 22, 1994, in Colorado Springs.
Authorities filed a misdemeanor charge against Michael Berreth on May 7, 1994, for allegedly violating the restraining order. He was arraigned on the charge on June 16, 1994 before El Paso County Judge Caroline Benham.
A day before Michael Berreth was to appear in Benham's court for trial, Gloria Berreth reported that her ex-husband violated the restraining order a second time. He was hit with a new charge.
