Lori Thiel Missing Person Case

In the fall of 1991, concern began to grow for 31-year-old Lori Ann Thiel after her family realized no one had been in contact with her since at least October of that year. Lori, a resident of Aurora, Colorado, was living with her boyfriend at the time. The last communication her family had with her marked the beginning of a long and painful period of uncertainty. Described as a Caucasian female with blond or strawberry-blond hair and blue eyes, Lori has a scar on her left cheek and a tattoo on her left buttock. She stood at approximately five feet four to five feet seven inches tall and weighed around 105 to 120 pounds.

The official timeline of Lori's disappearance is clouded with some ambiguity. While her family's last contact with her was in October 1991, her brother did not officially report her as a missing person to the Aurora Police Department until sometime later. Some records indicate the date of last contact as September 1, 1992. When authorities questioned Lori's boyfriend, he stated that she had packed some of her belongings and left for Los Angeles, California. He claimed she was driving a black Pontiac Firebird. This claim, however, did not lead to any contact or sightings of Lori, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

The investigation into Lori Thiel's disappearance has remained open, yet yielded few answers for her loved ones. Over the years, her case has been documented by various cold case organizations in the hope of generating new leads. Her personal information, including aliases she may have used such as Gilbert, Sinnard, or Stambaugh, has been circulated to aid in the search. The Aurora Police Department continues to be the primary agency investigating her case, holding onto the hope that someone will come forward with information that could finally shed light on what happened to Lori Ann Thiel. The conflicting dates and the unverified account from her boyfriend have left a trail of unanswered questions, leaving her family in a prolonged state of grief and uncertainty.
Last Seen: Sep 1, 1992
