Still No Trace Of Missing Denver Man

Family Hopes Someone Will Provide Clue To Watkins' Whereabouts

POSTED: 3:25 p.m. MST November 27, 2001
UPDATED: 6:21 p.m. MST November 27, 2001

Jim Watkins' Jefferson County family has seen no trace of him for two weeks, and they've found no clues, 7NEWS reported.

The 53-year-old husband and father signed off his computer at Arthur Andersen Consulting in Denver around 3 p.m. Nov. 13. Since then, nothing's been seen or heard of Watkins or his missing van -- nothing to bring relief to his desperate family.

Looking at pictures of happier times, wife Pat Watkins and daughter Kylie Watkins seem even closer to each other now.

Watkins' disappearance has mystified police, friends and family.

Pat is pinning her hopes on someone finding the van that Jim drove to work that day.

At the Watkins' home, time has stopped -- packed bags for a business trip and a half-finished family tree are reminders of life before the disappearance. The family said that Watkins was too happy to run away from home.

Holding tight to each other, they're reaching for answers and hoping they'll find their loved one alive.

"We owe it to Jim to find him," Pat said.

"Help us get our life back. Help me get my Dad back. Help my Mom get her husband back. We just want our life back. Please help us," Kylie said.

Watkins' van is a 1988 dark blue and silver Ford, license plate GVU495.

Anyone with information on the case was asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department at (303)277-0211.
