 My mother's name is Catherine Joy Allen. I was a senior graduating when she came up missing, so the last time I saw her was the 25th of May. She said the next time she would see me would be on June 3rd at my graduation and she never showed up. My mom would miss someone I was about two years old. And we don't know what happened to her. I don't have just a straight story to tell about my mom because I don't remember anything about her. She was living in the Wani Motel off of East Colfax in Denver and she was going through a lot of complicated issues at the time and she was just trying to get stable before she came up missing. It was not uncommon for my mother to not call us every single day. The last time she called was on June 2nd when I was out partying before my graduation the next day and she told my uncle that someone was after her because they had stole some drugs and if someone wasn't there to help her that she would not be there the next day and she never showed up at my graduation. Me and my sister were taken from my mom when I was 12. My mom was going through a rough patch. I do remember she was on drugs really bad. She was an alcoholic. I would say it was in the 80s where she was introduced to crack cocaine and so she was juggling those two. I was born in crack cocaine and heroin addicted at birth and they took me away from my mom and put me in a foster home and I was the last one with my mom and I never ever got to smell her hair. I don't remember anything when it comes to my mom. I honestly think somebody may have murdered her. I know that my mom definitely was murdered. I really do believe she's murdered and nobody wants to say anything. But I know that someone knows that my mother is dead and I know they know where she is. I believe people are great at keeping secrets especially when they're secrets like murder. But I know that my mother is dead. I know that she came up missing at the Awani Motel. I know that there were quite a few people that felt my mother come out of that hotel. Whoever did anything to my mom, just please, please give me closure. That's all I want. If you know anything, if you could just please call Crime Stoppers. You can remain anonymous. You don't have to tell them who you are. Any information will help. Somebody knows something and I want to know what happened. She's out there. She's out there. I just want my mom.
