Rick VanDuyn, 27, was murdered while working as a security guard in Aspen Park, Colorado, on the night of October 19, 1986. Employed by Evergreen Security for four months while seeking a career in law enforcement, he was collecting Safeway deposits and had stopped at Mountain Valley Bank to use the night deposit box when he was shot multiple times with a .223 caliber weapon and died at the scene. Witnesses heard the gunfire and saw a full-size Ford pickup flee north on Highway 285; a deputy reported pursuing a speeding Ford but lost it in the fog.

The money bags VanDuyn carried were left behind, and investigators concluded robbery did not appear to be the primary motive. A female bank custodian recalled a pickup with two men parked in the lot before the shooting. Despite an investigation by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved, with a reward offered for information.

Did anyone in the area at the time see that Ford pickup or recognize the two men seen near the bank?
