The Weld County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking answers 36 years after the tragic death of 17-year-old Tracey Disbrow, who was found deceased outside Erie after going missing.
Tracey, also known as Tracey Ragains, was reported missing by her roommates in Colorado Springs during the summer of 1989. Her body was discovered on July 9 of that year in an irrigation ditch near the intersection of Weld County Roads 4 and 7, just over a mile north of Children’s Hospital Colorado North Campus.
At the time of her death, Tracey was a crucial witness in a case involving narcotics, prostitution, and arson of a nightclub in Colorado Springs. She was a confidential informant for El Paso County and provided information that led to charges against multiple suspects.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office urges anyone with information about Tracey Disbrow’s murder to contact the tip line at 970-340-6464 or email Crimetips@weld.gov.
