Man Rescued in Colorado Mountain Pass Is Accused in 1982 Murders Maria Cramer © Park County Sheriff’s Office A cross erected at the site where Annette Schnee’s body was found in Park County, Colo., in 1982. Investigators had struggled for decades to resolve her case and that of another woman, Barbara Jo Oberholtzer.
On a January night in 1982, Alan Lee Phillips was found shivering in his pickup, stuck in a snowdrift on a treacherous mountain pass in central Colorado.
A rescue worker tracked him down after Mr. Phillips, then 30, used his headlights to blink the Morse code signal for SOS and caught the attention of a passenger on a plane flying overhead. Asked what he had been thinking, taking such a dangerous road in subzero temperatures, Mr. Phillips, looking dazed, said he was coming back from a bar, according to the police.
