Names Of Unsolved Murder Victims To Be Released

DENVER (CBS4) ― The identities of hundreds of murder victims will be made public for the first time Wednesday in an unprecedented effort to help solve cold case homicides in Colorado.

The list was created by the Families of Homicide Victims and Missing Persons with help from criminology students at the University of Colorado.

The list includes the names and faces of 1,282 cold case homicide victims in Colorado. There will also be information about how and when they died.

The hope is the list will lead to a state cold case squad devoted to solving the crimes.

"I hope it proves to the state, to the police, to everyone, that we do need funding for this, we do need help for this," said Linda Gruno of the Families of Homicide Victims and Missing Persons.

The estimated cost of a cold case squad is $1.5 million.

The group will release its list at a news conference at the state Capitol during the morning hours.

For information on how to get a copy of the list, go to unresolvedhomicides.org.
