Fabian Del Rosario was last seen in the area of 30th St. & Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, on August 28, 1987, at 7:00PM. He dropped a friend off near that location and was suppose to pick up his girlfriend, Betsy Bader, when she got off work at 7:30PM. Fabian never showed up at his girlfriend's work and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Fabian was driving a brown 1979 Datsun 280-ZX. In the early morning hours of August 31, 1987, a patrol officer located Fabian's blood-stained vehicle in the parking lot of Crossroads Mall near 30th St. & Walnut in Boulder, Colorado. A "substantial" amount of Fabian's blood was found on the passenger seat.
Fabian was originally from Miami, Florida, and was studying international business at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Through further investigation, detectives learned that Fabian was somehow involved in the distribution of drugs: "moving cocaine" in Boulder through a source out of Miami. It is suspected that the crime was committed by someone who knew and dealt with Fabian, but it is not clear whether or not his work in the drug trade had anything to do with his presumed murder.
