George Aldrich - UPDATE - georgie's body has been found. the family is gathering and planning his services. this horrible end of a very sad story is just the beginning as we don't know what happened to him, and we still have to bring the person or people responsible for his death to justice.

George Aldrich, 28, as photographed on Nov 27th, the night he disappeared.

Georgie was last seen exiting bus 555 at the Truscott stop in Aspen. He spoke briefly to a woman who said he realized he was at the wrong stop when the shuttle left. She assumed he would wait for the next shuttle bus or attempt to hitch hike home. That was the last time anyone saw our brother. Bloodhounds were able to track his scent twenty minutes down the road to the Aspen Inn and shuttle stop.

Georgie is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, with shoulder length wavy brown hair. He was wearing a plaid winter coat with a fur hood attached. My Dad, 2 brothers, husband and friend are in Aspen searching for him.

A special 'thank you' to the dedicated and hard working volunteers of Mountain Rescue Aspen.

aspen collectively mourned last night with the news of his body being found. the following photos were taken of the evening sky in both downtown aspen and just near the bridge where his body was found. it is interesting that there was such a beautiful sunset followed by a meteor shower. perhaps this was georgie's way of saying he's at peace. the ribbon featured here was designed by the kids at lasalle academy in rhode island where georgie's dad is an admissions counselor.

georgeie - i'm sorry we couldn't find you in time. now we will honor your life and let your soul rest.
