Suspect Arrested for 1982 Murders of Colorado Women
Thanks to new DNA technology, authorities have made an arrest in connection with the 1982 murders of two Colorado women.
According to Denver7, the case began 39 years ago, when Annette Schnee, 21, and Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer, 29, disappeared while hitchhiking in Breckenridge. Though the women did not know each other, they were both last seen on Jan. 6.
Family members found Oberholtzer s body in a snow drift the next day, while a young boy discovered Schnee s body in a creek later that year. Both had died from gunshot wounds.
Authorities launched vigorous investigations and even collected usable crime scene DNA in 1998 but despite their efforts, the case went cold.
Alan Lee Phillips, 70, was arrested and is expected to be charged with murder for the killings of Annette Schnee, 21, and 29-year-old Barbara Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer.
