Investigators believe they’ve found the man responsible for killing a pair of young women near Breckenridge in 1982.
On Jan. 6, 1982, Barbara Jo Oberholtzer, 29, and Annette Kay Schnee, 21, went missing near Breckenridge. They were found dead in the area about six months apart, but their killer has remained a mystery for nearly 40 years.
During a press conference at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Lakewood on Wednesday, March 3, officials announced their belief that they have finally caught the perpetrator. Alan Lee Phillips, 70, of Dumont, was arrested Feb. 24 on two charges each of first-degree homicide, kidnapping and assault. Phillips is in custody at the Park County Jail.

Westword: Tell me about yourself and how you got started painting murals. Kyle Holbrook: All my life, I wanted to be an artist. My mom and dad were both teachers who gave me encouragement from a young age. I had my daughter in college, so from nineteen years old on, making a living from being an artist was my only job. I would do murals and signs for small businesses, restaurants, corner stores and daycares, and caricatures at special events like bat mitzvahs, birthday parties and weddings. Then I was invited to do my first public mural twenty years ago, and just like a lot of things in life, it happened organically from there. The more public and highly visible the murals I did, the more opportunities they led to. Now I’ve done murals in 43 countries and 27 states.
