UPDATE 1/18:Police arrest man in connection with Kimberlee Graves murder

Update, 12/19, 3:30 p.m.:Police face difficulties in search for missing Fort Collins woman

Fort Collins police are looking for a woman, who was last seen two weeks ago, after they discovered her home reportedly ransacked and her car abandoned in an Old Town parking garage.

A friend called police Dec. 8 about Kimberlee Graves, 41, to request a welfare check. Graves had last been seen at her home Dec. 4. Officers checked Graves' home on Akin Avenue following the call, but no one answered the door. Graves' car was gone.

On Dec. 10, the same friend entered Graves' home and reported to police that the home had been ransacked. Police investigated further, and on Dec. 13 they found Graves' vehicle abandoned in the parking garage under the former Safeway at College Avenue and Mulberry Street.

Although they have not found evidence that Graves has been harmed, police said Monday the circumstances around her disappearance are suspicious.

Graves' front door was taped with red evidence tape as of Monday evening, and neighbors said a Fort Collins police detective had visited homes on the street recently.

Anyone with information about Graves' whereabouts is asked to contact Fort Collins Police Services at 970-416-2825 or tipsline@fcgov.com.

People can also contact Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 or stopcriminals.org. Tipsters can remain anonymous and might be eligible for a cash reward.
