The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has posted the 2020 crime data for hundreds of statewide law enforcement agencies through the Colorado Crime Stats website.
Some of the highlights from this year’s Colorado Crime Stats report include:

Alan Lee Phillips (02/06/1951) of Dumont, Colorado has been arrested in the murders of Barbara Jo Oberholtzer (DOB: 12/25/1952) and Annette Kay Schnee (DOB: 01/16/1950) in January 1982.
The Mineral County Coroner’s Office has identified the remains of the woman located at the scene of a crash on Wolf Creek Pass.
Marlena Rena Mizell (DOB: 03/02/1971) was identified during an autopsy performed on March 1, 2021. According to the Coroner’s Office, the preliminary findings show Mizell died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries. Toxicology results are pending.
On Tuesday, February 23, 2021, a team of local and state law enforcement, search and rescue officials and others worked to reach a vehicle located hundreds of feet from the roadway on Wolf Creek Pass.
Members of the Mineral and Archuleta counties Search & Rescue teams, Colorado State Patrol, Mineral County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado Department of Transportation traveled to an area off Colorado State Highway 160 at MM 162 on the pass to reach the vehicle.
The public is being asked to provide information related to a homicide investigation in the southern Colorado town of San Luis on February 3, 2021.
Just before midnight on Wednesday, February 3rd, Costilla County Sheriff’s Office deputies were sent to a home in the 900 block of Alfonso Street on a call of a shooting. Responding deputies discovered a 47-year-old man shot inside the home who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim has been identified as Christopher Patrick Lopez (DOB: 06/06/1973), who is known to live in the San Luis area.
Herbert Lucas Scott (DOB: 10/27/99), the suspect in the Pony Patch at Doolittle Ranch obscenity case in Chaffee County from August 2020, is facing additional charges in a new case.
A warrant for Scott was issued for Wrongs to At-Risk Adults – Felony 2, Sexual Assault—Felony 3 and Unlawful Sexual Contact—Felony 4. This case is unrelated to the allegations made at the Pony Patch at Doolittle Ranch. The latest victim is a 22-year-old at-risk adult and is known to the suspect outside of the camp.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is pleased to announce the launch of its revamped website. The focus of the new design is on accessibility, usability and ease of browsing.
The website is divided into three primary sections: Investigations, Forensic Services and Support Services. However, several ‘quick link’ areas will help direct website visitors to some of the top-visited pages of the site including the Sex Offender Registry, Firearms and the Top 100 Most Wanted Sex Offender Fugitives.
Although Colorado’s Missing Persons Day will look a little different this year, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will honor more than *600 individuals currently missing for more than a year in the State of Colorado. This year, the CBI invites families to visit the Bureau’s website to view a short video from both members of the Colorado Legislature and the CBI to remember those missing and their families.
