Show Notes
On the morning on February 9, 1960, a milkman pulled up to a small bridge over Turkey Creek, near Morrison, Colorado and quickly grew agitated by what sat in front of him. The bridge was blocked by an idling station wagon. The man honked his truck’s horn several times, hoping to alert the car’s driver of his presence and get him to clear the way, but after continued attempts, it was to no avail. Frustrated as can be, the milkman then hopped out of his truck and walked over to the vehicle, which he discovered was empty. Little did he realize that he had just discovered the car of Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors brewing empire, who had been kidnapped from that bridge over Turkey Creek. What followed was the largest search and manhunt since the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
