Paul Gallenstein, 64, of Fort Collins, Colorado, was found dead on the Foothills Trail at Reservoir Ridge on the morning of September 10, 2023. Passersby discovered his body around 10:18 a.m.; an autopsy by the Larimer County Coroner’s Office determined he died of a gunshot injury. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office opened an intensive homicide investigation but has not recovered the weapon.

Investigators searched the area despite dense foliage and heavy rainfall that hampered evidence collection. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced. Friends and family describe Gallenstein as a man of faith who helped develop an active adult community in Fort Collins; his wife has paid for billboards across northern Colorado and the family is offering a reward of up to $50,0. Authorities want to hear from anyone who was on the Foothills Trail at Reservoir Ridge between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. that morning.

Does anyone who was on the trail that day remember seeing something unusual or anyone who might have spoken with Paul before he went out?
