Last year, we shared multiple reports about the murder of Aspen socialite Nancy Pfister. Three people were arrested for the crime: William Styler, a former Denver-area doctor, his wife, Nancy Styler, and ex-bank employee Katharine Carpenter. However, only William Styler was convicted, despite an affidavit suggesting that he would have…
Last October, we told you about the arrest of Brandon Hansen, who was accused of surreptitiously taking videos of naked women in tanning booths. Additionally, he allegedly spent a full day grabbing up-skirt footage at a Denver Pavilions escalator. Now, Hansen has reportedly pleaded guilty to forty charges that had been…

We’ve all done it — gone up to a vehicle in a parking lot that looked like ours only to discover it was actually someone else’s. In general, though, we don’t get stabbed for making this mistake. That’s apparently what happened to a customer of a strip club in Grand…
Chuck Limbrick makes a cameo appearance in Dietrick Mitchell’s Life Sentence Was Commuted Four Years Ago — So Why Is He Still in Prison?, Alan Prendergast’s recent feature article. Like Mitchell, Limbrick had been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole — for, in the latter’s case, killing his…
As a lot of us know from personal experience, working at a fast-food restaurant can be dull. Even so, there are certain ways we don’t recommend to pass the time. Like, for instance, firing off a rifle so close to a neighborhood that the bullets riddle multiple homes. That’s what…
At this writing, Leonard Martinez has not yet been formally accused of homicide in the death of his former girlfriend in Lakewood last week. But rest assured, this charge is coming. He was originally arrested on suspicion of assault and attempted murder. However, the situation changed when his victim, 21-year-old…
Last night was bitterly cold in Denver, with steady light snow — the kind of weather then tends to tamp down crime. But the conditions apparently didn’t prevent a significant street crime. According to the Denver Police Department, four individuals are under arrest, accused of shooting at a DPD vehicle…

The gang known as Gallant Knights Insane has been operating in the Denver area for years. Now, three brothers — Jimmy, Michael and Timmy Valanzuela — who are thought to have been founding members of the organization have been indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury, along with three alleged associates: Tanya…
Kelly Mae Myers was reported missing in the Grand Junction area in late December. At first, law enforcers didn’t classify her case as a crime because evidence suggested she may have left of her own free will — and because she was eighteen, such a choice was perfectly within her…
Back in January, we told you about a Colorado Springs bombing that struck a complex that included the local NAACP office. The working theory early on was that the NAACP had been the target of the attack — and as we noted, the organization’s president, Cornell William Brooks, scheduled a…
Denver has seen more than its share of controversial police shootings, including the one that took the life of seventeen-year-old Jessie Hernandez last month. The same can be said of Weld County, which has experienced four fatal police shootings over the past eight months. The most recent of these involved…
It was one of the most shocking stories of 2014 — one whose details seemed too terrible to be true. But apparently they were. Jena Harman and her boyfriend, Alexander Smith, have reportedly pleaded guilty to keeping her seven-year-old child in caged outdoors on their remote Wyoming property — even…
As discussed here a few weeks ago, a new report issued by the Prison Policy Initiative takes a harsh look at the burgeoning video visitation business in prisons and jails. More than 500 detention facilities across the country now contract with private companies to provide some form of pay-to-visit technology for families of…
The image most of us have of patients suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s — a brutal malady detailed in Still Alice, for which Julianne Moore just won a well-deserved Academy Award this past Sunday — is of an elderly person sitting in place, lost in his or her own baffling world…
Last year, we told you about charges against Hector Diaz related to gun possession and his complicity in allegedly dropping $500,000 in Colombian cash in the Colorado marijuana business. Now, Diaz has pleaded guilty to a couple of counts — fewer than the number he originally faced. In exchange, Diaz is…
At this hour, members of the Aurora Police Department are reportedly investigating a homicide at a quadplex on the 1400 block of Lima Street. If that address sounds familiar, it should. In September 2014, another murder took place in the same quadplex. The victim was Danielle Griego, who was killed after…
Last year, we told you about accusations that Idaho Springs’ Haley Stanfield had put a hit on her boyfriend after the death of her fifteen-month-old baby, Logan Burchik. Stanfield remains behind bars based on this charge. Now, however, she’s facing a new allegation — that she and the aforementioned boyfriend, Joshua…
Last month, our Music blog told you about the arrest of Puddle of Mudd lead singer Wes Scantlin for trespassing at Denver International Airport — by riding the oversize luggage racks there. In recent days, Scantlin was supposed to appear in local court on that incident and a previous one in…
One sex assault in a neighborhood is terrifying enough. Two sex assaults are even worse, particularly when the reports come barely 24 hours apart. That’s what is happening in the vicinity of Capitol Hill. Denver police are seeking a suspect or suspects in cases that are said to have taken place…
The Denver Police Department didn’t immediately brand a death that took place in Green Valley Ranch late Tuesday night as a crime. But now, the DPD is investigating it as a homicide. The details about what took place remain scarce at this writing — but here’s what we know thus…
