Update: For months, there were no breakthroughs in the investigation into the November murder of Terence Scott George and disappearance of Tiffany Durst — but it now looks as if a lot of progress was being made behind the scenes. Less than a week after the April 7 discovery of…
Sounds like the set-up for a joke: A couple dressed more or less as ninjas, and carrying machetes, walk into a medical marijuana dispensary. What do they want? Weed!

After Hugo’s Charles and Laura Clagett were found murdered late last month, local police identified the person of interest only as a teen relative.

Erie’s Nicole Bernard never gave much thought to her neighbor, Gordon Schumacher, and no wonder. He’s 35, married, seemingly ordinary in every respect. Until he allegedly snuck into her house and planted a webcam in her bedroom, prompting his arrest for being a high-tech peeping tom…
At around the same time the Denver Police Department released the list of its 25 most violent fugitives, the coroner’s office for the city issued its report about homicides in the first quarter, which totaled eight. The number is the same as during the first three months of 2010 –…
The Denver Police Department has trimmed its fifty most wanted fugitives list by half but multiplied the mayhem via its roster of the city’s 25 most violent fugitives. The mug shots of those who follow first target Robert Juan Gee stand out thanks to the best neck tattoo (No. 3),…
In July 2008, eighteen-year-old Angie Zapata of Greeley was beaten to death by a 32-year-old man she met online. In April 2009, a jury found that man guilty of murder. What’s more, they convicted him of a hate crime, finding that he had killed Angie because she was transgender. Tomorrow,…
Douglas Bruce has made no shortage of enemies over the years — and plenty of them are likely grinning at the sight of his mug shot, released in conjunction with word that he’s been indicted for failing to pay taxes he earned in 2005-2007. His alleged method of evasion? Funneling…

The High Times Medical Cannabis Cup this past weekend earned high marks from William Breathes, our medical marijuana critic.

A couple in a small Colorado town are murdered and the gaze of the police settles on a boy too young to have his name publicly acknowledged at this stage of the investigation. Sound familiar? It should in light of the shocking deaths of Burlington’s Charles and Marilyn Long, allegedly…
Like the allegedly marijuana-related fatal crash involving Joshua Wittig, the January 2010 murder of Douglass Singleton, reportedly during a robbery involving medical marijuana, made a big splash initially, then fell off the media’s radar.
