The story of the Lumber Baron Inn and the murders that occurred there.

Morgan Ingram was only 20 years old when she was found deceased in her bedroom on December 2, 2011. The police would determine that she committed suicide but her parents insist that she was killed by a stalker who had been stalking her for 4 months. They claim the stalker threw rocks at their windows, lurked in their yard, crept onto their roof and was capable of evading detection. No image of a stalker near Morgan's window was ever captured by the 18 wildlife cameras they had set up around the house. What happened to Morgan Ingram?

Denver's first decade as an official city was rough and saw mayhem and murder during the initial years that there was no, or little, established law. Within one year the murder rate grew from 3 murders per year to dozens in a population that lingered around 1000. Jim Gordon's drunken and brutal murder of John Gantz in the streets in plain view of everyone out for a stroll was the last straw for the citizens of Denver who feared for their lives on a daily basis. By the time Gordon was apprehended, everyone wanted a piece of him and his trial would become a landmark in Denver's criminal justice history.

On October 31, 1993, a hardware store owner from Steamboat Springs, Colorado named Gerry Boggs was found dead in his home. He was struck with a shovel and shot several times in the back. The first suspect to cross anyone's mind was the woman he was briefly married to, Jill Coit. By that time, Jill was very obviously unhinged and desperate for control and cash but investigators would soon uncover decades of bigamy, fraud, deceit, and another dead husband whose murder is still unsolved.

The first ever bombing of a commercial airliner happened over Longmont, CO in 1955. The case was tragic and investigators paved the way for investigatory methods used to analyze plane crashes. They thought it was a malfunction, or possibly sabotage by a disgruntled union worker. The truth behind the bombing was far stranger than anyone could have imagined, and at the heart of it was the tumultuous relationship of a mother and son.
