On the evening of December 14, 1993, 19-year-old Sylvia Kathlene Crowell was working at a Chuck E. Cheese in Aurora, Colorado, cleaning the salad bar area as the restaurant prepared to close. A former employee, 19-year-old Nathan Dunlap, who had been fired months earlier, was hiding in a restroom and emerged shortly after 10 p.m. to begin a vengeful attack.

Dunlap approached Sylvia from behind and shot her at close range in the right ear, a wound that proved mortal. She was taken to a local hospital, declared brain dead, and died the following day. The attack continued inside the restaurant; three other employees were killed and one survived by playing dead. Dunlap fled with over $1,500 in cash and game tokens and was arrested about twelve hours later at his mother’s apartment.

If anyone remembers Sylvia, her shift that night, or saw activity near the restaurant that evening, please share what is known.
