A routine welfare check in Denver on July 9, 1981, turned into a homicide investigation when officers found 25-year-old Valerie Murphy and her roommate Clarence Harris dead inside their North Park Hill home. Both victims, Murphy described as a Black female, were determined to have died from gunshot wounds.

Decades later the case remains unsolved and the Denver Police Department is still asking the public for information. Very little else is reported about the scene, timeline, or possible leads. Does anyone have memories, tips, or information about Valerie Murphy, Clarence Harris, or the North Park Hill neighborhood in July 1981 that could help this cold case?
