In the summer of 1989, Tracey, who sometimes went by the name Tracey Ragains, was reported missing by her roommates in Colorado Springs, according to a social media post from the sheriff’s department. On July 9 of that year, Disbrow was found dead in an irrigation ditch near the intersection of Weld County Roads 4 and 7 southeast of Erie, a little more than a mile north of Children’s Hospital Colorado North Campus.
At the time of her death, Tracey was a witness set to testify against defendants in a case involving narcotics, prostitution and arson of a nightclub in Colorado Springs. She was a confidential informant for El Paso County and her information led to charges against several suspects.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office asks that anyone with information regarding Disbrow’s murder call the office’s tip line at 970-340-6464 or email Crimetips@weld.gov.
