Jun. 4—The Boulder County District Attorney's Office has announced it will be providing an update on the disappearance of Rita Gutierrez-Garcia, who went missing in Longmont more than three years ago.

In a release sent late Thursday night, the DA's Office indicated a news conference would occur at noon Friday outside the Boulder Justice Center, 1777 Sixth St.

The release indicated prosecutors and the Longmont Police Department would "provide an update on recent developments."

Gutierrez-Garcia has been missing since March 18, 2018. She was celebrating St. Patrick's Day with friends and family at bars in downtown Longmont and was last seen in a city parking lot located behind 3's Bar.

While no body has been recovered, police have said they presume Gutierrez-Garcia is dead.

No charges have been filed yet in the case. Police named a suspect, Juan Jose Figueroa Jr., 32, in the case but never charged him. Gutierrez-Garcia was last seen with Figueroa, according to police.

Figueroa was convicted in a separate sex assault case and was sentenced to 93 years to life in prison.

Online court records do not show any new charges filed against Figueroa.

AP PHOTOS: Hong Kong's June 4 candlelit vigil over the years
No one attended an annual candlelight vigil inside Hong Kong’s Victoria Park on Friday, but hundreds gathered on streets outside to remember China's deadly crackdown in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989 as Hong Kong police cordoned off much of the park to prevent gatherings. Police arrested an organizer of the vigil earlier in the day and warned people not to attend the banned event as authorities mute China’s last pro-democracy voices. For decades, Hong Kong has been one of just two cities in China allowed to mark the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square.
