Coors Brewery Murder: Killing of Adolph Coors III (Colorado, 1960)
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
A white Coors company truck was found running on a narrow mountain bridge outside Morrison, Colorado. Adolph Coors III was missing.
On February 9, 1960, the heir to the Coors Brewing Company stopped to help a man whose car appeared broken down on Turkey Creek Bridge. The encounter turned into a violent struggle. Coors was shot during a failed kidnapping attempt and left in the creek below.
A typed ransom letter arrived later the same day, even though Adolph Coors III was already dead. The crime launched one of the largest FBI manhunts in American history and ended with the arrest of escaped convict Joseph Corbett Jr.
This true crime podcast examines the Coors kidnapping, the forensic geology that linked a suspect to a mountain burial site, and why this criminal case is still taught in law enforcement training today.
