It’s been almost six months since a Colorado Springs mom went missing, and her family is holding on to hope that she’ll be found. The family has hired a private investigator, but they say so far there aren’t any major breaks in the case.

Their hope is that they’ll get closure by finding their mother. At this point, they want to believe she’s out there and well, but they say they also realize that Deborah Heriford wouldn’t leave her loved ones in the dark about her whereabouts if she was alive.
“As time passes, reality has to be faced,” Sarah Heriford said. “If we were to find her alive after six months of being missing, what kind of condition would she be in; because mom wouldn’t just leave for six months. She just wouldn’t do that.”
In May, we found out the Heriford’s soon to be ex-husband Bob had set a wedding date with another woman and in order to marry her he had to finalize his divorce from Heriford. She never made it to her court date.
We’ve known for some time that Springs police are investigating Heriford’s disappearance as a homicide. On April 4, police towed her car and searched for clues. There were no signs of forced entry, and the only things missing from her home were her cell phone, keys and her dog—later found near her home.
“We’re doing a lot of praying, just waiting, hoping that something will come up,” Chrissy Mazzarelli said. “I know if we see a flier that’s been knocked down or blown off or whatever—I know it’s being replaced.”
Heriford hasn’t been seen since March 31. If you know anything that might help solve this case call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.
