Police search for woman after 'suspicious death'

Tiffany Shantay Durst

AURORA | Police are searching for a 21-year-old woman after finding a man dead in the woman’s Aurora apartment Monday.

Tiffany Shantay Durst was last seen Thursday, police said.

Around noon Monday, police found a man dead inside Durst’s apartment in the 12200 block of East Kepner Place. Lt. Sam McGhee, a spokesman for the department, said the man suffered obvious trauma and police are investigating the death as suspicious.

The man, whose name was not released, lived in the apartment with Durst but police have not said what the relationship might be.

McGhee said police were hoping to obtain a search warrant Monday so they could search the apartment.

Police are calling Durst a person of interest in the man’s death.

McGhee said police are anxious to find Durst because they aren’t sure what happened to the man and because they want to make sure she is safe.

“We just don’t know what the circumstances are here,” he said Monday night.

Durst might be driving a 1996 maroon Oldsmobile Cutlass with Colorado license plate number 750-VBW.

Police are asking anyone with information on the case to contact Detective Chuck Mehl at 303-739-6213.


Note: Police said they expect an update on this today, I will update the blog when I hear more.
