Update on Book Cliffs Discovery: Potential Link to Missing Persons

Western Colorado, May 22, 2024 – Recent developments have emerged regarding the disturbing discovery made by Marine veteran Levi Comstock (@countertopepoxy) near the Book Cliffs. On a four-wheeling trip, Comstock stumbled upon 10 pairs of women's heeled boots and shoes scattered around a remote pond, raising serious concerns about possible foul play.

Comstock’s findings, initially dismissed by the local sheriff's office, gained significant attention after he posted about them on TikTok on May 13th. By May 16th, retired FBI agent @texascrimetravelers expressed interest in the case, suggesting a thorough investigation, potentially involving sonar equipment to search the pond.

A notable update comes from TikTok user @arthistoryabby, who has meticulously matched some of the discovered shoes to models spanning the early 2000s to 2010s. Using photos of the shoes and their labels, @arthistoryabby identified specific brands and styles that could be linked to missing persons cases from that era. She has suggested that this information may be crucial in reaching out to the FBI for further investigation.

@arthistoryabby I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the 10 pairs of shoes found by Levi Comstock in Western Colorado. I attempted to date two pairs of them which lead me to an article about a person of interest, familiar with this area, who is currently serving time and is believed to be potentially linked to a number of missing person cases. #unsolved #unsolvedcases #truecrimetok #truecrimecommunity @TXCT | Secret Service & FBI @Countertop Epoxy ♬ original sound - arthistoryswifttok.abby

In her research, @arthistoryabby uncovered a Dateline episode titled "A Deal with the Devil" about 19-year-old Kaysi McLeod, who went missing in the area. The full episode can be viewed here. Additionally, she found a Times Independent article reporting on remains found in the Book Cliffs in 2009, which may be linked to a Colorado woman missing since 2003. The article can be accessed here.

@arthistoryabby I searched for women missing in Colorado from 2003-2010 and instantly results populated indicating a possible connection to an individual charged in four cases but could be linked to many more. Thank you Levi Comstock @Countertop Epoxy for sharing what you found. I hope it eventually leads to closure, justice or both. @TXCT | Secret Service & FBI #greenscreen #fbi #truecrime #unsolved @Kathleen I choose the bear ♬ original sound - arthistoryswifttok.abby

@arthistoryabby believes there may be a connection to Scott Lee Kimball, an individual currently serving time, who was familiar with the Book Cliffs area and has been linked to multiple missing persons cases. More information on Scott Lee Kimball can be found here. This connection has fueled the urgency for a deeper investigation, as it could potentially provide leads on the identities of the missing individuals associated with the shoes found at the pond.

Commenters on Comstock’s video have suggested photographing the shoes and posting them on missing persons pages, hoping they might be recognized. Additionally, there are calls to reach out to the local Native American community, given the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous people.

The community awaits further updates as law enforcement and volunteers continue their investigation into this unsettling discovery.
