Emma Jenefor was 25 when she was found dead in her Cherry Creek apartment in Denver on March 26, 1979. Family members, with the Denver Police Department, entered her Garfield Street residence after several days of being unable to reach her and discovered her body in the bathtub. Investigators determined she had been strangled.

The homicide went unsolved for decades, with no immediate suspects or arrests reported at the time. A cold case review later re-examined DNA evidence from the scene and matched it to Vincent Groves, who had died in prison in 1996 while serving time for other murders. Because Groves was deceased, there was no trial; the DNA identification nevertheless gave Emma’s family an answer after many years.
