A Colorado woman has seemingly vanished since her frantic 911 call to authorities call more than 10 days ago.

Colorado Woman Missing Since February 13

Melinda Tafoya-Deltoro has not been heard from since the afternoon of February 13 when she placed a 911 call saying she was stuck in the snow in the mountains. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the woman was possibly under duress at the time of the call.

Authorities Find Missing Woman's Vehicle

Clear Creek County deputies responded to the call and found the woman's vehicle in the Miner's Candle area about 7 miles west of Idaho Springs. An extensive search of the area turned up empty as deputies were unable to locate Tafoya-Deltoro.

The woman's family told KDVR she doesn't snowboard or ski - and they don't know why she was in the Idaho Springs area.

Right now, there are still a lot of questions and not many answers. Did Melinda get lost in the snow? Was she taken from the area under duress? Did she leave the area on her own?
