Casey Scott Berry was last seen on February 14, 2007.
According to a statement given by Casey's roommate to law enforcement a month after Casey went missing, at approximately 9:00 a.m. on February 14, the roommate asked Casey to drive out to the home of an American Indian the roommate knew only as "Bob" to pick up some of the roommate's possessions. "Bob" lived in a very rural area in Blanca. When Casey didn't return home when he was supposed to, the roommate went to "Bob's" house. When he went inside "Bob's" house, the roommate found Casey's body. "Bob" told Casey's roommate he and Casey had gotten into an argument, and he shot him in the head five times. "Bob" forced the roommate to clean up the murder scene, put Casey's body into an old car, and set it the car on fire in a remote area in the San Luis Valley.
Casey's roommate and girlfriend then fled the area without telling the authorities. Authorities were able to track the roommate to Utah and questioned him. Authorities have been unable to find the location of the burned car or any trace of "Bob".
Casey's remains have yet to be found.
