Police: Colorado homicide suspect "dangerous" and "at-large"

STRASBURG, Colo. - Deputies are searching for a man suspected in the death of a woman who was found inside a burning home Saturday.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office says 58-year-old Andrew Ausmus faces a first-degree murder charge stemming from the Saturday fire.

Firefighters responding to the burning house dragged the woman from the garage, but she had already died.

"Ausmus is at-large," the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said in a statement released Monday. "He is considered dangerous. If seen, please contact law enforcement and do not approach him."

The victim has not yet been positively identified, according to the statement, but friends and neighbors told CBS Denver that the victim worked for United Airlines and was a mother and grandmother.
