On the morning of April 28, 1983, 29-year-old Dolores Padilla did not show up for work and a friend went to her apartment at 930 Newton Street in Denver. The friend found her motionless on the floor; authorities determined she had been stabbed to death. The homicide was investigated by the Denver Police Department, but the case went cold with no suspects publicly identified and no arrests announced.

Decades later the investigation remains open. The Denver Police Department’s Cold Case Unit is asking the public for information and a reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for tips that lead to an arrest and prosecution. If anyone knew Dolores, saw something in that neighborhood on or around April 28, 1983, or has information that could help, please come forward. What can readers add that might move this case forward?
