Metro Denver Crime Stoppers announced the six-figure reward on Sunday – the 21st anniversary of the slayings – as investigators push forward with efforts to find the person or people who gunned down Nicholas Nick Kunselman and Stephanie Hart-Grizzell in Littleton, Colo., just blocks from Columbine High School.
The reward was increased from the previously offered $12,000, local affiliate FOX 31 reported.
Exactly 21 years after the crime, officials are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the murder of two Littleton teenagers on Valentine’s Day in 2000.
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.
