A 22-Year-Old Colorado Woman Vanished From Her Home Without a Trace in 2008. Was Her Boyfriend to Blame?

Over 16 years ago, Becky Elshani vanished from the face of the earth. While the family suspects foul play and a boyfriend might be to blame, it's possible nobody will ever find out the truth about what happened to her.

On March 31, 2008, Elshani’s father reported her missing to the Colorado Springs police, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. She was last seen near her home on Twin Oaks Drive in the early morning hours of the same day.

Investigators suspect foul play in the case.

According to the Bureau, Elshani, 22, may have been using a blue 2004 Mazda with license plate 777-OFZ, a white 1990 Chevrolet with license plate 203-JEE or a red 1987 Nissan pickup truck with a license of 437-AOV.

Family has told local media they hope to find out what happened.

Loved ones reportedly suspect Elshani’'s boyfriend might have played a part in her vanishing. He killed himself after Elshani went missing.

“They got into an argument here at my parent’s house. He started yelling at her; she kept saying she didn’t want to leave. We kept telling her to stay but [the boyfriend] insisted that she leave with him. That was the last time I ever saw her,” Fatime Elshani, Becky’s sister, told KKTV in 2017.

Agim Elshani, Becky’s father, told the station that he suspected his daughter was no longer alive. Her blood was found in the boyfriend’s car and some believed he killed her and dumped her body somewhere in the mountains.

“I think she is dead some place. I feel it in my bones. My daughter is gone. It’s just a matter of time when somebody spots the body,” he told KKTV in 2008.

Now the case is stretching into its 16th year, and Becky Elshani remains missing. Anyone with information about her disappearance is urged to contact police at (719) 444-7000.
