MINERAL COUNTY- In mid-afternoon Saturday, August 8, Mineral County Sheriff’s Department received a call about a hidden and abandoned vehicle near the West Fork Trail on Wolf Creek Pass. After responding to the call, deputies found a vehicle that had been covered by logs, limbs, debris and dirt.

Upon inspection of the vehicle a driver’s license of the owner was found and law enforcement officials attempted to contact the owner at an address listed in New Mexico. Deputies were not able to make contact with the individual and are seeking public input for the case.

“We are hoping someone saw something. This had to have taken some time to do and with the amount of traffic and recreation in the area, someone had to have seen something. We are seeking any information that would help us contact the owner of the vehicle,” said Sheriff Fred Hosselkus.

Please report any information to the Mineral County Sheriff’s Department at 719-658-2600.
