Adolph Coors III was in an enviable position. His grandfather had founded the Coors Brewing company, and by 1960, Adolph Coors III was the company’s CEO. He had a wife and four children. He was one of Colorado’s most influential business people. But that also made him a target. So when Adolph’s car was discovered abandoned on Turkey Creek Bridge, just two miles from his home, the FBI quickly stepped in.

Then Brandi tells us about the disappearance of Gail Katz. When Gail met Robert Bierenbaum, she thought she’d found the perfect guy. He was studying to become a doctor. He spoke multiple languages. He even flew planes. Their dates were incredibly romantic. But over time, Gail came to see that Robert was far from perfect.

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
