Authorities Recover Submerged SUV; Identification of Occupant Pending
Larimer County investigators have located the vehicle connected to missing Loveland-area resident Kaylee Russell, marking a significant development for communities across Northern Colorado that have closely followed the search.
On the afternoon of December 4, around 2:00 p.m., the Colorado State Patrol, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and Evans Police Department responded with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office to a single-vehicle crash site near Timnath. A black 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan — confirmed as the vehicle driven by Russell when she was last seen on November 30 — was discovered submerged in a canal off Larimer County Road 1, east of the roadway.
Divers reported seeing a body inside the vehicle. Authorities say identification will not be made until the recovery process is complete.
The Colorado State Patrol’s Vehicular Crimes Unit is leading the investigation.
