Police continue to investigate the disappearance of Leonette Purcell
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the disappearance of Leonette Purcell.
On December 16, 2004, 56-year-old Leonette Purcell of Grand Lake was reported missing by her family. She was last seen on the morning of December 16 at their Grand Lake residence but was not home later in the day when a family member returned home. Leonette Purcell has not been heard from since that day. Items in the Purcell’s home appeared out of place or disturbed compared to normal routine. An extensive search in the area of Grand Lake failed to reveal her whereabouts and police believe her disappearance is suspicious.
Leonette Purcell is described as a white female, 5-foot-2 and 135 lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes.
