Colorado man found stabbed to death after leaving a bar On a crisp autumn day in 1983, the quiet landscape of Weld County, Colorado, became the scene of a tragic discovery. The body of 29-year-old Alex Casimiro Morado, a male, was found on October 25th in an irrigation ditch near County Road 74 and County Road 27, in the vicinity of the Woods Lake south ditch. An investigation by the Weld County Sheriff's Office soon revealed that Morado's life had been violently taken, and he had been stabbed to death.
Investigators learned that just two
days prior, on October 23rd, Morado had been socializing with a group of people at Bruce's Bar in the nearby town of Severance. It is believed that after the group left the establishment, a dispute erupted along Weld County Road 74, about five miles east of Eaton. This argument is thought to be the catalyst for the events that tragically culminated in Morado's death. His body was later discovered in the irrigation ditch, turning a simple night out into a homicide investigation.
For many years, the case of who killed Alex Casimiro Morado remained a frustrating and unanswered question, officially classified as a cold case. However, the Weld County Sheriff's Office has publicly identified a primary suspect in the long-unsolved murder. Benedicto Samuel Carrion is the individual authorities believe is connected to Morado's death. Despite naming a suspect, the case remains open, and no arrests have been made. The investigation into the death of Alex Casimiro Morado continues, with law enforcement still seeking any information that might finally bring closure to a case that has haunted Weld County for decades.
