Rocky Ford police and Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents have reopened the criminal investigation into what happened to two 15-year-old girls who vanished nearly 35 years ago while walking home from Rocky Ford High School.
Victoria Sanchez and Yvonne Mestas were last seen walking home from school together on the afternoon of Nov. 1, 1982, according to a news release from Susan Medina, CBI spokeswoman.
Police and CBI agents are combining forces in hopes of shedding new light on what happened to the girls, Media wrote.
“Although decades have passed, we are actively working with our partners at the Rocky Ford Police Department on this long-term missing persons’ case to help determine what happened to Victoria and Yvonne,” CBI Pueblo Agent Kevin Koback said.
Detectives could not comment on the information they recently received that justified reopening the case.
Authorities, however, are asking anyone who may know anything about the disappearance of the girls to call 719-647-5999.
