Man found murdered in a Super 8 Motel in Del Camino
In the quiet early morning hours of November 21, 1996, a grim discovery was made in a room at the Super 8 Motel in the Del Camino area, just off the bustling Interstate 25 and Colorado 119 near Greeley. Inside, law enforcement found the body of James Wesley Vooris, a 43-year-old white male. The scene told a story of violence; Vooris had been brutally beaten to death.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office immediately launched a homicide investigation into the death of Vooris, who was born on December 6, 1953. As detectives delved into his life and the circumstances surrounding his death, a picture began to form. The investigation led them to believe that the motive for the murder was connected to the drug trade. Several leads were pursued, and investigators identified a number of potential suspects in the case.
Despite the development of these leads and persons of interest, the case grew cold over the years. No arrests were ever made in connection with the homicide of James Wesley Vooris. The case remains an open and unsolved file in the records of the Weld County Sheriff's Office, a lingering mystery from a motel room over two decades ago. Anyone with information regarding the case is still encouraged to come forward as the search for justice continues.
