On Friday, March 4, 2022, LCSO investigators arrested Cynthia Elaine Wilkinson (12/02/1964) in Highlands Ranch on a warrant for one count of 1st Degree Murder (F1), one count of Felony Murder (F1), and one count of Theft (F3).  She was booked into the Douglas County Jail and later transferred to the Larimer County Jail on March 11.  A booking photo is not being released at this time for investigative reasons.

The arrest stems from a 2016 missing person case.  The LCSO investigations unit, in close consultation with the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, has been working this case around the clock for the past month and there is still much to do in this important and sensitive investigation.  More information will be released as soon as possible and when we believe it will not jeopardize the case.

The charges are merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty.
