The man, in an interview with sheriff’s deputies, said he was going to take a nap around 2 p.m. when Jenkins walked away...

Asked if sheriff’s investigators suspected foul play, Mosher declined comment, saying the investigation is ongoing.

The Eagle County Sheriff’s Office, Vail Mountain Rescue Group, Aspen Search and Rescue, Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office and the Western Eagle County Search and Rescue group searched the area surrounding the campsite. No signs of the woman were located, the press release says.

Still No Sign Of Missing Aspen Woman In Eagle County

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2014/08/23/still-no-sign-of-missing-aspen-woman-in-eagle-county/

Not a whole lot of information here...

I wonder if the male she was camping with was a relative/husband/significant other?

How long had they been at that campsite/grounds?

Search and rescue teams have suspended efforts to find an Aspen woman reported missing northeast of Thomasville...

“Search efforts were called off on Thursday due to no clues to her whereabouts after a K9 search was conducted in that area,” said Eagle County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Jessie Mosher. A K9 unit from Garfield County Sheriff’s Office was recruited for the search, she said.

The man who was with Jenkins was interviewed by detectives but was not taken into custody, according to Mosher. When asked if foul play is suspected in the case, Mosher simply said, “This is still an active investigation.”

Human remains found in upper Fryingpan Valley spurs investigation

September 3, 2019

A decomposed body discovered last month by two Texas teenagers hiking in the vicinity of the Lake Chapman Campground is being examined to determine the identity, authorities said late last week.

It is too early to determine foul play or any the nature of the death, said Ron Ryan, Pitkin County undersheriff. The body was located in Pitkin County in the Fryingpan Valley and within a 10-mile radius of where Dorothy L. Jenkins went missing five years ago, he said.

Jenkins “immediately came to mind for us” when the Sheriff’s Office got the call, Ryan said Friday, and they are looking to see if there is a connection.

The Pitkin County Coroner’s Office also is working the case, he said.

“The forensic pathologist that the coroner’s department uses has a resource for these type of remains,” Ryan said, “and it’s going to take about six weeks to completely examine the remains and reconstruct them, and that’s what they’re working on now.”

Authorities are unable to say what the body’s sex is at this time.

It was her boyfriend. They had been in a relationship many years ago and had reconnected.
