Mice can get in through very small openings. Even openings around pipes. If you can seal them up; you will notice a big difference. Keep your food in plastic containers - they can eat through them but if they can't smell it, they won't want it. Unlike my wife, I like to catch them and let them go in a place far far away.
Of course there are dogs that chase mice, too.
As to your question, if they have an opening into the duct-work they can craw anywhere or just next in the duct. The cold air return should have a filter - check to see if it has a hole.

I don't know if it's the weather this year but we seem to have lots of mice and voles. My neighbors are setting traps everywhere. One neighbor said that she talked to a man that puts in furnaces and he said some of the mice may be coming in through the cold air return next to the furnace. Is that possible and what can you do about it? I won't get a cat. LOL
