On May 15, 1988, residents of a Jefferson County, Colorado, home checking a septic tank discovered the submerged remains of James William Murray, a 35-year-old white man known locally as Crazy Jim. Family and friends had last seen him in December 1985 when he was reportedly preparing for a trip to Arizona, and he had been living intermittently in the Conifer area — in a cabin behind a garage off Highway 285 and renting a house on Grapevine Road.

Investigators described Murray as involved in the local drug scene, reported to have used and sold cocaine. At the time he disappeared he was known to be driving a beige Volkswagen Rabbit. The discovery was ruled a homicide and opened a long-running investigation; despite that, no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced, and the case remains a cold case more than three decades later.

Did anyone in the Conifer or Deer Creek Canyon area know James Murray or his beige Volkswagen Rabbit and have information that could help resolve how he ended up in that septic tank?
