Summary

On February 9, 1960, Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors brewing empire, left his Colorado home for work and vanished without a trace. His car was found abandoned on a bridge with the engine still running, blood on the bridge, and signs of a violent struggle. Seven months later, his remains were discovered in a remote area.Adolph was the 44-year-old grandson of the founder of the Coors Brewing Company. He was a devoted husband, father of four, and a key figure in the family business. His disappearance sparked one of the largest manhunts in American history. The investigation led to Joseph Corbett Jr., a convicted murderer who had been paroled just two years earlier. Corbett was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, and after months on the run, he was captured in Canada. The case became a landmark in American criminal justice, involving ransom demands, interstate flight, and a trial that captivated the nation. Adolph Coors III's murder changed his family forever and left a lasting impact on the brewing dynasty that bears his name.This is the story of a kidnapping gone wrong, a family's grief, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
