In February 2021, “the Reading Man” of Grand Junction, a man named Warren Barnes, became the target of an aspiring serial killer. Two days after Warren was last seen by his friends, a local teen’s mom found a severed head and hands in her son’s closet.
Also, Junction apparently refers to the confluence of the Colorado River and the Gunnison River—though there are also some trains in Grand Junction.

In 2013, 48-year-old Jill Stacy was canning homemade salsa made from veggies she grew on the morning someone brutally murdered her. Investigators suspected she knew her killer, but they really didn’t have any suspects. But cold case detectives weren’t going to give up on Jill’s case, and her family would make sure she got justice.
Note: Aaron said it was okay to leave in the thing, haha.

As police arrived to arrest him, murderer Frederick Moses McCallum sat at a kitchen table, drinking tea. The priest he’d called to the crime scene stood nearby. Inside the small house in Buffalo Narrows, the seven members of the Pederson Family lay bleeding from axe wounds, along with family friend John Baptiste Herman in one of the bloodiest murders in Canadian history. The Pederson family included Thomas, Bernadette, Connie, Cynthia, Grace, Donny, Robert, Richard, and Rhoda Pederson.
