Case Story |
|
| |
Triple Murder in Colorado |
|
| |
January 27, 2002. 11:40pm, a woman enters the Broadway Lanes to give her roommate a ride home. She finds her roommate dead inside. But there's more. She also finds two more bodies, dead in the lanes' office. Cops rush to the scene and realize they are staring a triple homicide in the face. The know every piece of evidence is critical.
The first piece of the puzzle comes from the woman who found the body. Before walking into the lanes to pick up her roommate, the woman hears three loud bangs. She recalls, "I heard a loud noise and I didn't know what it was. It sound like somebody pounding on a window but if they had pounded that hard, the window would've broke." But it's what she saw, not heard, that would become cop's best clue. It was a stocky, bald man seen leaving the bowling lanes moments after she heard the banging noise but before she went in to find her friend.
Cops quickly identified the three victims: lane manager James Springer, a husband and father, Erin Golla, a mother and lane employee and Robert Zajac, a young, promising bowler who'd stuck around after hours to get a ride home. |

Are They Clues Or Are They Dead-Ends? |

The scene was fairly clean. The cops investigation turned to what patrons and employees saw that evening. Keep in mind, the bowling is usually full of regulars, so anyone out-of-the-ordinary would stick out. Some bowlers remember a man who spent some time that night talking to Jim Springer and Erin Golla. This man is not a regular and may have nothing to do with the murder but cops would like to find out for sure.
Another theory suggests that the three victims were not the intended targets at all. Cops have not dismissed the thought that this may have been a botched robbery. A week before the murders, someone broke into the Broadway Lanes but was unable to get into the safe. "We're going on the assumption that they could be related," says Detective Russ Hoffman. "I think it was a robbery that went bad. Victims cooperating with the robber inside the bowling alley, there didn't seem to be any type of struggle." |

One Final Set of Clues |
|
| |
It was a cold night when the murders went down and when the dust had settled at the crime scene, two odd pieces were left, the two jackets were left in the office. It is possible they were jackets left by bowlers but that seems odd. On a cold night, someone would be hesitant to leave their jacket. Plus, no one has been back to reclaim the jackets. Again, cops don't know if they are related to the killings or just another clue that will lead them nowhere. Cops need your help to sift through the clues solve this baffling mystery. |
