Who killed Kimmo Perry? In the quiet town of Loveland, Colorado, a devastating fire on March 12, 1979, claimed the lives of 29-year-old Walter Perry and his infant son, Kimmo. Kimmo, a one-year-old White male, was asleep in his home at 604 SE 8th Street with his father when the blaze erupted. The fire, which was later determined to be intentionally set, turned their home into a tomb.
Investigators quickly ruled the deaths a double homicide, concluding that the fire was an act of arson.
While Walter and Kimmo perished in the flames, Gwendolyn 'Joyce' Perry, Walter's wife and Kimmo's mother, managed to escape the burning house. The case, which shocked the community, remains an open and unsolved homicide.
Decades later, the tragic deaths of Walter and Kimmo Perry are remembered as one of Larimer County's cold cases. Law enforcement officials continue to seek information from the public that might lead to a break in the case and bring justice for the father and son who lost their lives on that tragic night. No arrests have ever been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The motive for the arson also remains unclear, leaving a lingering mystery over the seemingly senseless act of violence.
