AURORA, Colo. – The reward for information about a woman who was apparently killed inside a car that was then found engulfed in flames on I-225 early last Saturday morning has increased to up to $4,000.

The blue SUV was found burning on southbound I-225 just south of the on-ramp from Colfax Ave. around 1 a.m. Saturday They found Salvadora De Dios’ body inside the vehicle once the flames were extinguished.

Police are asking anyone who was driving in the area and saw the vehicle or any people near it to contact the case’s lead investigator, Detective Chad Lampson, at 303-739-6013 or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
