Who murdered Jessica Caudill in 1990?\n In the spring of 1990, the life of a young woman came to a tragic end in Jefferson County, Colorado. The body of 15-year-old Jessica Caudill, a White female, was discovered by hikers on April 14th in a ravine off Highway 58 on North Table Mountain. An investigation determined that she had been deceased for several days. The cause of her death was determined to be strangulation, and her body was found nude.
Jessica was a runaway from Georgia who had a history of hitchhiking, even
traveling as far as California by accepting rides from truck drivers. She was known to use the aliases Night Child and Angel Heart during her travels. Often seen wearing a distinctive denim jacket with brown leather fringe, Jessica was known to spend time at truck stops. It is believed she was seen at the Union 76 Truck Stop at West 44th Avenue and Ward Road in Wheat Ridge before her death.
Despite the circumstances of her discovery and the determination that her death was a homicide, Jessica's case remains unsolved. Law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with her murder. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office continues to list her case as a cold case and seeks any information that might shed light on her final days and lead to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible for her death.
