Tragic final moments of Alexa Bartell, 20, emerge after she was killed by large rock flung at her ca
THE chilling final moments before a large rock struck and killed a woman driving her car have been revealed.
Police in Colorado are searching for a mystery suspect in connection to the death of Alexa Bartell, 20, who authorities believe was struck by a large rock while driving late Wednesday evening.
Investigators claimed that at around 11pm, Bartell was headed northbound on Indiana Street near Standley Lake — about 18 miles northwest of Denver, per local news outlet KKTV.
It was then that the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office believes Bartell had the large rock flung at the driver's side of her car by an unknown party.
As the investigation continues, officials recently released the unsettling final moments before the incident occurred.
They claimed that Bartell's phone went abruptly silent while she was on a call with a friend.

“In the moments before she was killed, Alexa was on her phone talking to a friend when the phone went silent,” the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office noted in a news release.
Afterward, Bartell's friend tracked her phone to a field just off the road that the 20-year-old was driving on.
“Alexa’s friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana St." the release continued.
"She found Alexa fatally wounded inside her car, which was off the roadway in a field.”

The friend found that Bartell had suffered fatal wounds from the large rock.
Although a suspect has not yet been identified in the case, police suspect that the Arvada resident's death may be linked to a crime spree.
The connection came after the Jefferson County Sheriff's office matched Bartell's incident to a timeline of other rock-throwing reports.
The spree allegedly involved a light-colored pickup truck that was found on Thursday, and the vehicle's owner was later identified, per the sheriff's office.
However, police determined later that day that the owner and the truck were not involved in the crimes supposedly related to Bartell's death.
Those incidents resulted in two minor injuries and additional damage to four vehicles.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Police have asked the public to call them at 303-271-5612 with any information about the situation to help track down possible suspects.
“No piece of information is insignificant," read the news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
"If you have home security or dash cameras that may have caught the vehicle driving by, we want to hear from you.”
