UPDATE: Body discovered in Park County connected to missing person’s case identified
The Park County Coroner’s Office has released the identification of the body found in Park County that law enforcement have said is being investigated as a suspicious death.
According to a press release from the Park County Coroner’s Office, the body discovered on Dec. 24 has been identified as that of 65-year-old Timmy L. Huston.
The press release states that Huston’s death remains under investigation at this time.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office provided photos Friday of a vehicle the agency and other law enforcement are looking for amid a possible homicide.
The Sheriff’s Office is looking for a blue 1994 Ford F-150 pickup truck with a distinct “HUNTER” sticker on the left fender. The pickup truck has a Colorado license plate No. TQQ039.

The case began more than a week ago as a search for two missing men and a house covered in blood in El Paso County.
On the evening of Dec. 19, the Sheriff’s Office received a call for service at a home in the 1800 block of Pima Drive in the unincorporated area of Cimarron Hills.
According to a news release Thursday, deputies at the scene found “large quantities of blood in multiple locations throughout the residence.”
Deputies identified two men possibly associated with the incident — 46-year-old John Rankin Morris and 37-year-old Stephen Walker. The public was asked to help find the missing men, along with a black Audi on Dec. 23.
The Audi was found the following day in Park County near Antero Junction at a trailhead. The vehicle was found a half-mile from a house in the 1500 block of Campfire Road, where a welfare-check 911 call had directed Park County sheriff’s deputies that day.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office reports that the investigation in Park County found the body of a male at the residence, as well as evidence that the “known occupant” of that residence had at least indirect ties to Morris and Walker.
The identity of the dead male and apparent cause of death were not immediately known.
Thursday’s news release states that investigators are now seeking information on whereabouts of Morris and Walker, in addition to Hailey Diane Cole, 43. Cole is listed in public records as currently being a resident of the same home as Huston.
Officials said they were also looking for the blue 1994 Ford F-150 pickup truck.
The vehicle could be in Colorado or possibly en route to Mississippi, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Walker is described as 5-foot-11, 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and tattoos on his right arm.
Rankin Morris is described as 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, with short-cut brown and gray hair, blue eyes and a tattoo on his right ear.
Cole is described as 5-foot-5, 145 pounds, medium-length brown hair and blue eyes.
Morris and Cole are considered people of interest in the Dec. 19 incident. Morris is considered to be “missing under suspicious circumstances.”
Law enforcement warns that Morris and Cole are considered armed and dangerous. If seen, members of the community should contact 911.
Members of the public who may have information related to the Park County or El Paso County investigations or who may have seen the missing F-150 pickup truck are asked to call the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Regional Communications Center non-emergency line at 719-390-5555.
