The Disappearance of Beauty Student Becky Kellison: Was She Murdered?
The 1976 cold case remains unsolved and may be linked to others in Colorado.
June 1976 should have been a joyful time for the family of 21-year-old Rebecca ‘Becky’ Kellison from Aurora, Colorado.
The young woman was about to graduate from beauty school, so she was in a celebratory mood and no doubt felt she had the whole world at her feet.
However, her loved ones could not have known that their world was about to be turned upside down by Becky disappearing — or that nearly 50 years later, they would still be waiting for answers concerning her whereabouts.
With all this time having passed, is there any hope for resolution?
A carefree night — but concern afterwards
On the night of Friday June 18th 1976, Becky went out clubbing in Denver with her sister Carol and Carol’s husband. She stayed the night at their apartment near City Park to avoid the hassle of making her way back home, but was keen to return in good time the following morning.
Becky had a final test at Lane Beauty Academy coming up and wanted to fit in a last study session for it, with graduation just two days away.
