Robert Allen ’Curley’ Culberth, 70, and his wife Darlene were found shot to death at the VFW Hall in Lamar, Colorado, on August 1, 1991. The couple arrived just after 1 p.m.; the VFW alarm was disabled at 1:41 p.m., the cash register was opened six minutes later, and a woman who came at 2:10 p.m. found the door locked and Darlene slumped behind the bar with gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen. Investigators later located Curley, also a victim of gun violence. Reported losses from the VFW’s till were about $700 to $1,100, and robbery was treated as the apparent motive.

Several local people were questioned during the original investigation and one person was arrested but released shortly afterward; no formal charges were filed and the case remained unsolved. Years later the case was featured on the Oxygen series Cold Justice, which prompted additional review and resulted in new information being sent to the District Attorney’s office, but the double homicide is still officially unsolved.

Are there anyone in Lamar or Prowers County who remembers the Culberths or who has information that could help finally resolve what happened that afternoon?
