Alex Ewing was convicted in two 1984 hammer attacks. Other cold cases dating back decades remain unsolved but new technology gives families hope they'll see justice.
$100K Reward for Unsolved Colorado Double Homicide Case
The stakes just got higher in a 21-year-old Colorado murder case.
It was February 14, 2000, when 16-year-old Stephanie Hart-Grizell and 15-year-old Nick Kunselman were tragically shot and killed at 12:47 a.m. in a Subway sandwich shop near Columbine High School in Metro Denver. According to KDVR, Stephanie was in the shop waiting for Nick to get off from work when the shooting occurred.
No arrests were ever made in the case and the motive for the killings is uncertain. The families of the two young victims have remained hopeful an arrest will eventually be made.
Early on Valentine s Day 2000, Nick Kunselman, fifteen, and Stephanie Hart-Grizzell, sixteen, were murdered at a Subway restaurant near Columbine High School. More than two decades later, the case remains unsolved but that could change. The reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual or individuals who committed this crime, which had been bumped up to $12,000 on February 14, 2020, has now been increased almost tenfold, to $100,000.
According to Denver Metro Crime Stoppers, the increase was powered in part by members of the community who wish to remain anonymous, as well as a $10,000 contribution from Franchise World Headquarters LLC, the corporate entity that encompasses Subway.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. â Twenty one years ago on Valentineâs Day, Stephanie Hart-Grizzell drove to a Subway on Coal Mine Avenue to wait for her boyfriend, Nick Kunselman, who was finishing his shift at the sandwich shop.
The two teenagers were students at Columbine High School, where less than a year earlier 12 of their classmates and a teacher had been killed in a mass shooting. But the high school sweethearts weathered the aftermath together, family members said, and were a happy young couple.
