An initial investigation into the circumstances of his death determined that he had died as a result of a gunshot wound.
At the time of his death, Mr. Eggers was a registered guest at the motel.
The case was classified as a homicide, prompting an investigation by the Denver Police Department. Despite their efforts, the individual or individuals responsible for his murder have never been identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case.
The death of John Eggers remains an unsolved cold case. The Denver Police Department's Cold Case Unit continues to seek information from the public that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for this decades-old crime.
