Denver, Co. Amy Ahonen may have been found dead, if DNA collected from the remains of a female who perished in Clear Creek County turn out to belong to the missing woman. Denver Police say there is a "possible" chance, according to reports in the Denver Post.
The last time anyone saw Amy was on July 8th, 2011. That was the day before her 38th birthday. Her jeep Liberty was found abandoned in Clear Creek Canyon in Jefferson County, near U.S. 6.

On the find Amy page on face book this message was posted:
"Today is a sad day, as we are relieved to finally have some closure regarding Amy, however it is hard news to bear. We thought it only fair to share the news with all of you, friends and family both, that have shared in this heartbreaking journey these last few years. Some remains that were found have been confirmed to be those of our beloved Amy. That is all the information we have at this time."
According to Fox News, a hiker found a bone while trekking through the Clear Creak area. He turned the bone into the Westminster Police Department. Independently, a bone was found and turned over to the Adams County Sheriff's Office. Both the Adam's County and the University of Texas tested fragments for a possible DNA match. Both labs agreed, the remains belong to Ahonen, Fox News claims.
It is easy to speculate about the fate of Ahonen. However, at this point, no one has an answer. Her car was left unlocked and her purse was inside the car. A strange man applied as a roommate through Craigslist before Ahonen disappeared. He was reportedly so creepy, the ad was taken down.
Apparently Ahonen was concerned, according to Fox. Shortly before she disappeared, she called 911. She told the operator she had broken down in Clear Creek and needed help. A passerby saw the vehicle and called the State Patrol, as well. However, when an officer arrived, Ahonen said she did not need help.
Colorado does not have an active Texas Equusearch chapter. The non-profit Texas organization Marshall's manpower and resources to assist law enforcement in searching large areas. When a person goes missing, like in the Ahonen case, a call out to members is made. Working under law enforcement supervision, the searchers comb the area. Sometimes high tech devices are used including drones and for persons lost near bodies of water, sonar.
Texas Equusearch teams have found over 300 people alive who law enforcement could not fine. They have also found the remains of over 100 people.
