Summary

Episode 26 Darlene Krashoc Part 2 of 2

Episode 26: Darlene Krashok
On St. Patrick’s Day, 1987, the body of young Army mechanic Darlene Krashoc was found in a frozen parking lot behind the Korean Club restaurant in Colorado Springs. She had been brutalized and strangled, with a coat hanger bridle still around her throat. The Fort Carson-based soldier had last been seen in Shuffles nightclub the late the night before, dancing with an unidentified GI. The decades-long investigation focused on scores of persons of interest, from Darlene’s friends and relatives to serial killers who used coat hangers or bit their victims. But her killer was none of these. Forensic genealogy would eventually point investigators to a man who was never named in the casefile, a man who was stationed at Fort Carson and frequented Shuffles nightclub. A man who was still alive and well and living in Thornton, Colorado.
