Missing Persons Day is Feb. 4

Normally, people gather at the Colorado State Capitol for Missing Persons Day, but this year it will take place virtually.

On Thursday, Feb. 4, a video of the speakers who would usually be a part of the program will be available on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation website, www.colorado.gov/cbi. That website will also have an online platform for friends and family to post short tributes about loved ones who are missing.

Missing Persons Day is held on Feb. 4 in honor of Kelsie Schelling who disappeared on that day eight years ago.
