Alexis Baca, 25, was found dead on July 25, 2022, near the Realization Point trailhead on Flagstaff Mountain outside Boulder, Colorado. A hiker discovered her body; she had a gunshot wound to the back of her head and showed other injuries, including cigarette burns. Fingerprints identified her as a resident of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Investigators report Baca had been traveling from New Mexico and became stranded in Colorado after a male companion was arrested during a traffic stop. She was allegedly left with a large amount of cash and two handguns. Baca called a friend, Jaime Moore of Las Cruces, for help; Moore and three others then went to Colorado. Surveillance footage from the days before the body was found shows Baca’s car being followed by a Ford F-250 registered to Moore.

According to testimony reported in the investigation, the motive appeared to be robbery of the cash and drugs Baca possessed. One accomplice, Cody Hobirk, testified that Moore confronted Baca and shot her after she exited the vehicle. Her body was then dragged into a wooded area and her car was disposed of. If anyone knew Alexis, her movements in July 2022, or has information about this case, please come forward.
