Frank Bowden, a veteran who served as an Army cook until 1970, was found dead in his home at 4740 St. Paul Street in Denver on July 26, 1996. He had been shot, and investigators determined the house had been deliberately set on fire with an accelerant; the fire department ruled the blaze an arson. At the time of his death Bowden was married for the third time and was a father of four.

Despite the violent nature of the crime and the passage of decades, no arrests have been announced. The shooting and resulting arson remain unsolved and the investigation is being handled by the Denver Police Department’s Cold Case Unit. Little else is publicly detailed about who might have been responsible or about any suspects developed during the original probe.

Did anyone in the Denver area know Frank Bowden or have information about his contacts, disputes, or the people who had access to his home in 1996?
