I've looked for an update to this case but haven't found anything. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

No update. I'd write them but the google reviews are putting me off.

I always confuse this with LeBrea Jackson. Jackson was reported missing to the Aurora Police on Dec. 26, 2018 by her family. LeBrea was also found in Las Animas county-- except her body located in January 2019, not June 2019.

Also they ask for donations for an "unsolved homicides" fund. It is clear it is him.
Rest in peace, Chris. You deserved better. Love and strength to your family
