Who killed Morton? In the quiet mountain town of Estes Park, Colorado, a grim discovery was made on May 19, 1979. The severely beaten body of 43-year-old Morton Rosenfeld was found in the basement of an apartment where he was staying. Rosenfeld, a white male, had been the victim of a brutal homicide. The incident date is listed as May 18, 1979, with his body being discovered the following day.
Investigators with the Larimer County Sheriff's Office quickly identified a suspect in the early stages of their
inquiry. This individual even failed a polygraph test, further solidifying the authorities' suspicions. Despite this, the evidence collected was deemed insufficient to bring formal charges against the suspect, and the case remained frustratingly unresolved.
Years turned into decades, and the murder of Morton Rosenfeld became a cold case. In 2003, investigators made a renewed effort to bring closure to the long-dormant case. They traveled to California to re-interview the original suspect. However, their hopes were dashed when the suspect, who was no longer living in Colorado, chose not to cooperate with the investigators. To this day, no arrests have been made in the murder of Morton Rosenfeld, and the case officially remains open and unsolved.
