On the morning of August 16, 1976, Richard Gary Malin, 35, was found shot inside his home on Palomino Drive in Evergreen, Colorado. His wife discovered his body just inside the front door and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was called at about 8:30 a.m. A homicide investigation was opened immediately.

The initial probe did not produce arrests or publicly identified suspects, and no motive was established. Little else is publicly known about events leading up to that morning.

Does anyone who lived in or near Evergreen in 1976 recall unusual people, vehicles, or activity around Palomino Drive that morning or in the days before the shooting?
