The body found near the water at the intersection of Walton Creek Road and Owl Hoot Trail last Thursday was identified as a Wyoming man who drove his car into the ditch and set out on foot.

The Routt County coroner confirmed the man was Jordan Antonio Gutierrez Castrillo, 30, of Saratoga, Wyoming. Last Thursday around 9 p.m., the Steamboat Springs Police Department located Castrillo and contacted his next of kin.

Castrillo’s disappearance was reported to Saratoga police on Tuesday, Nov. 5, according to a statement from the city.

According to Detective Sgt. Castrillo’s girlfriend, Sam Silva, made the initial report. Silva said he was in Saratoga at the time of the incident. Saratoga police reached out to Steamboat Springs police last Wednesday night regarding the missing persons report.

Silva stated that Castrillo was visiting Steamboat Springs with a friend, and that Castrillo and his friend were drinking in bars before the incident.

Castrillo was driving near the intersection of Walton Creek Road and Owl Hoot Trail when he crashed his car into a ditch around 4 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, according to Silva. Silva said he then abandoned the vehicle and set off on foot.

Castrillo was allegedly alone during the event. Silva did not specify where his friend was at the time of the incident. According to Silva, Castrillo was “most likely” driving under the influence, but there is no confirmation of that at this time.

As of Tuesday, an autopsy was being performed to confirm the cause of death.

The toxicology report, which “will take several weeks to process,” according to Silva, should indicate whether Castrillo was under the influence at the time of his death. There is no evidence of foul play.

The Steamboat Springs Police Department is in the process of interviewing Castrillo’s friends and family members.

According to Silva, the vehicle Castrillo was driving was registered in his girlfriend’s name. He picked up the car in Steamboat Springs in the days following Castrillo’s identification. Silva stated that there was nothing significant in the vehicle.

“The vehicle was towed, so a towing inventory was done,” Silva said. “We didn’t find anything significant.”
