On January 15, 2009, Velva Sue Enander, 61, was found murdered in her Hudson, Colorado home alongside her husband, Harold Hap Enander, 69. A friend who checked on the couple discovered a scene of disarray; the house appeared ransacked. Velva Sue was on the bedroom floor, shot multiple times and severely beaten. Her husband had died of a gunshot wound.

Investigators moved from an initial home-invasion theory to focus on a personal motive. Suspicion centered on Hap’s daughter and Velva Sue’s stepdaughter, Kara Lounsbury, amid evidence suggesting she sought financial gain from the couple’s life insurance. Surveillance from a neighboring property showed a vehicle matching Lounsbury’s at the home the night of the killings, and a latex glove at the scene contained Velva Sue’s DNA and another woman’s DNA. Lounsbury was arrested, tried, and convicted of two counts of first-degree murder in February 2010, receiving two concurrent life terms without possibility of parole.

Did anyone in Hudson at the time recall seeing that vehicle or unusual activity near the Enander home on the night of January 15, 2009?
