DENVER (KDVR) — The mother of a Denver woman who has been missing since April told FOX31 that she was found dead in an alley in Lakewood on Friday.
Jax Gratton, 34, a hairstylist in Denver, who operated her own shop in a suite on North Broadway, was last seen on April 15 around 10 p.m. in the 4200 block of East Iliff Avenue and was officially reported as missing on April 24.
Friends and family had been searching for her for nearly two months.
On Saturday afternoon, Jax's mother, Cherilynne, told FOX31 that her daughter had been found dead on Friday around 5 p.m., although police have not yet confirmed the identity of the body.
Police were called to investigate a suspicious death after a body was found in an alley yesterday near the 9600 block of West Colfax Avenue, after a person discovered the body, according to the Lakewood Police Department.
Police said that the body was "in the advanced stages of decomposition" and could not be positively identified, although they said it does appear to be the body of an adult.
FOX31 reached out to the department, which sent a statement.
"The coroner has not made positive ID on the body that was found yesterday. As soon as that happens, we can and will release more," said a spokesperson for the Lakewood Police Department.
