Over the past week or so, we’ve listed the ten most dangerous Denver neighborhoods, as well as the ten neighborhoods where you’re most likely to get your car stolen or be an aggravated-assault victim, based on Denver Police Department data from 2009 to 2013 as compiled by Fox31. Now for…
Over the years, we’ve written plenty about morons who burglarize marijuana businesses, even though cash and product is tough to come by and first-rate security systems are required by law. Witness the 2012 break-in that netted a broken scale and $8 from the karma jar or the 2013 incident during…
When a juvenile commits a crime, the press typically refrains from naming him. But some of the most prominent mainstream news agencies are identifying thirteen-year-old Kai Kelly, likely due to the shocking nature of his alleged crime and the fact that he’s been formally charged with first-degree murder. The teen…
In November 2012, we covered the murder of Loretta Barela, allegedly at the hands of her husband, Christopher Perea — and we also reported about a delayed 911 response that prompted the same sort of criticism as in last month’s killing of Kristine Kirk, who was on the phone with…
In recent days, we’ve posted about the ten Denver neighborhoods where you’re most likely to get your car stolen, as well as the ten Denver neighborhoods with the most aggravated assaults, drawing from Denver Police Department data as compiled by Fox31. Today, we examine the ten most dangerous neighborhoods in…
In November 2012, thirteen-year-old Dylan Redwine disappeared near the southwestern Colorado home of his dad, Mark Redwine. His remains were found in June 2013, with La Plata County investigators launching a homicide investigation — and while Mark has never been officially named as a suspect, he’s been under relentless pressure…
Hit-and-run drivers are well known for leaving strangers hurt or killed by their actions — but did Alton Kirkland also abandon his significant other and two of his children after a crash that left them injured as well? That’s among the possibilities in the latest hit-and-run in a season full…
Fool me twice, shame on me? This saying resonates in the latest news about Matthew Caulk, a notorious sex offender who’s been the subject of multiple nationwide searches. Last year, Caulk vanished after taking advantage of a passive GPS system — a device we’ll explain below. He was subsequently recaptured…
This is Desiree Gallimore, who goes by “Dez” — and it’s appropriate she’s got a nickname of her own, since she’s been charged alongside the Packer brothers, aka “Chrome” and “Jazz,” in a disturbing child prostitution case. Chrome is only one of the alleged lawbreakers featured in our April mug-shot…
Justin Wayne Lamb, 29, has the sort of ink that makes him an unlikely candidate for an office job. Not only do his tats cover the majority of territory on his head and neck (as well as his chest, which provides home for a swastika) — but the one on…
Lawyers for Aurora theater shooting gunman James Holmes have until May 5 to ask the Colorado Supreme Court to review a decision by Judge Carlos Samour to have Holmes undergo a second sanity evaluation. Samour ordered the second evaluation after prosecutors alleged that the first one, done last summer, contained…
Members of the armed services face enough threats on the job that their home life should be a safe haven. But that certainly doesn’t appear to be the case for one Fort Carson soldier. A criminal complaint against her civilian husband, Mitchell Gibson, documents years of abuse and punishment capped…
This past October, we told you about sex-assault charges against Bojan Vuckovic and Dennis Hanson, a pair of Fort Collins men accused of getting two girls drunk and violently raping them. Vuckovic was subsequently convicted, but only of supplying alcohol to minors — an outcome so shocking that a group…
Earlier this week, we posted about the ten Denver neighborhoods where you’re most likely to get your car stolen, using Denver Police Department data from 2009 to 2013 obtained by Fox31. But that was only one of several offenses for which figures are available. Today, our focus is aggravated assault,…
There’s one fewer entry on the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office most wanted list. Earlier this week, Jason Sullivan, 32, was reportedly busted while in possession of a stolen car. But that leaves plenty of other wanted suspects on the loose. Look below to count down the top twenty, featuring mug…
Last November, we told you about marijuana raids conducted at multiple cannabis businesses, including VIP Wellness — which (update) was reportedly raided again yesterday — by law enforcers from the DEA, IRS and Denver Police Department. This morning, Hector Diaz, a 49-year-old from Colombia, is due in court to be…
Earlier this month, we broke down the number of crimes in one Denver neighborhood — ours — and discovered there had been 23 over the course of eleven days. Now, Fox31 has taken this concept a step further by using Denver Police Department records to discover the Denver neighborhoods with…
University Hill in Boulder is heavily populated by students who attend classes on the nearby University of Colorado campus — and plenty of them are terrified by a recent sex crime even though local police have made an arrest in the case. Why? For one thing, Brandon Heginger, the man…
George Roloff was arrested nearly three years ago. So why has it taken so long for a jury to convict him of 37 counts in a bizarre crime spree that only ended after an hours-long SWAT-team standoff? Because there were questions about his competency to stand trial owing to reported…
Ever since the shootings at Columbine High School, which took place fifteen years ago this past Sunday, school administrators have tended to take any student threats very seriously. In this spirit, a publicly unnamed student at Pueblo’s Sierra Vista Elementary has been suspended for five days for allegedly putting together…
As we’ve reported, the metro area has seen a slew of hit-and-runs lately. But an incident that took the life of 29-year-old Joshua Stewart may be the most bizarre. Prosecutors believe Stewart was clinging to the side of a van when Cynthia Marie Vigil pried off his fingers — after…
Georgia’s James Lee Pierce, a convicted child molester, allegedly spent months grooming an underage teen for sex before he could round up the money for a trip to Colorado in order to get his swerve on. Imagine his distress upon learning that his illicit dream girl turned out to be…
