Amadeo Vigil
MISSING July 1980
Colorado Springs

In the 26½ years since her son vanished, Ella Cobos has kept her double front doors bright pink. "Those can't be changed," says Cobos, 71, of Colorado Springs. "If he would ever come home and wasn't sure of where he was at, the pink doors would give him the answer."

Her son Amadeo Vigil, then 24, went missing in July 1980 while hitchhiking to meet a friend in Fort Garland, Colo., 136 miles away. "It's difficult not knowing," Cobos admits. "But when you don't know, you always have that little hope." Cobos and her younger son Vincent, then 22, looked everywhere they could think of for Amadeo, a kindhearted 5'6", 130-lb. Spanish major, and 40 volunteers scoured La Vita Pass. They hired a private aircraft to fly over the area. "We looked under bridges, in open fields," says Cobos. "I went to all the hospitals." When a man said that he'd picked up Amadeo in Colorado Springs and dropped him off at the intersection of I-25 and Highway 50, Cobos sat for days at the interchange, copying the license plates of every car that exited and contacting the drivers to determine if they'd seen her son. They hadn't. Since then Vincent has searched for his brother on the Internet. In 2006 he met with Hugh Velez, a Colorado Springs detective who had handled Amadeo's disappearance, to review his brother's files one more time. His mother is still hunting as well: "Everywhere I go, every hitchhiker I see, I think, 'Could that be him?'"
