Colorado Cold Case Files - Case Detail: Beverly McCool The CBI doesn't seem to have a photo of Beverly either.

Seems just a little unusual that she would take a walk at 9pm on a cold night in early January. It would have been very dark and cold at that time. Most people would be getting ready for bed at that hour.

I found Beverly's date of birth attached to her West Warren Drive address records on Ancestry. She was born 7 Aug 1927.
Her street number was 8693: Google Maps

I'm trying to figure out if McCool was a married name or her maiden name. There is another woman with the same first, last and middle initial who lived in Ohio but her date of birth is not a match.

Based on the names of the others living at her West Warren address and Ancestry family trees, Beverly was married with at least 3 children. Her Maiden name was Spellerberg.
Her middle name was actually Joan, not Jean. In the 1930 Census, the 1940 Census and in her school yearbook it seems she went by Joan (or B. Joan Spellerberg). I found a yearbook photo that I'll try to upload.

She went to Colorado Woman's College in Denver, CO.
In 1946 Joan Spellerberg was the class Secretary.

Her photo reminds me of the sketch for a Wyoming UID case:
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
WY - WY - Albany Co., WhtFem Skeletal UP9904, 28-58, poss. initials 'MSS', Aug'99
But the postmortem interval on that case says 1989-1999 and they have tennis shoes that I'm assuming can't be from 1970's.

What about this UID? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Height is estimated and smaller then Beverly, weight would fit. UID has an abdominal scar and upper denture. Couldn't find that info for Beverly. Can anybody see if there is DNA for both UID and Beverly? Then it would be a rule out by default?

I can't find when this school was actually built, but other schools in the area appear to have been built in the 70's... so I'm assuming Kendrick Lakes Elementary was also built in the 70's. I imagine this body was buried there when the school was built. Beverly is the only person missing from Lakewood, CO in the 70's.
