Colorado’s history is splattered with mysteries and murders ranging from The Black Widow to Scott Lee Kimball to even Ted Bundy! However, none date as far back as the killer on Capitol Hill in Denver.
At the turn of the 20th century, a string of at least 10 women were bludgeoned in the back of the head while walking alone.
Some would survive, while others wouldn’t. Welcome, Colorado's first serial killer.
