Nelson is described as being 5 feet tall and about 100 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Raelicia is described as being 4-foot-5 and about 85 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears glasses.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or Colorado Springs Police at 719-444-7000.
The Missing Indigenous Person Alert system went live in January thanks to a law signed in 2022.
SB 22-150 expanded the investigation into cases of missing and murdered Indigenous people, and created the alerts through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
When CBI activates an alert, police statewide are notified. A message is also sent to media, and CBI works with CDOT to put messages over highways.
