Christine Michelle Jones was 18 when she was found dead in Left Hand Creek in Boulder County, Colorado. On the afternoon of September 1, 1977, she failed to return after washing her car at a nearby creek; her family discovered her body about 1.5 miles above Buckingham Park in Left Hand Canyon. She was found face down in the water, and an autopsy later showed a single gunshot wound to the back of her head, prompting a homicide investigation by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case remains open. Anyone with information about Christine, her movements that day, or the area around Left Hand Canyon is asked to come forward.
