Hoffmann was last seen at 1 a.m. Wednesday leaving work at a McDonald’s about a mile south of the park.

One of her friends, 25-year-old Brittany Wilson, of Loveland, told the newspaper that Hoffmann was always careful and likely would not have stopped for a stranger. Wilson described the young mother as “doing well and good and amazing” before her death, despite experiencing a “rough past.”

Police have not released any other information.
