In January 1982, during a brutal snowstorm in the Colorado mountains, two young women disappeared from the ski town of Breckenridge within hours of each other.
29-year-old Bobbie Jo Oberholtzer vanished after celebrating a promotion with friends.
21-year-old Annette Schnee disappeared the very same evening after leaving a pharmacy.
Months later, both women were found murdered.
For decades, the case remained unsolved. Investigators chased leads, questioned suspects, and watched the evidence slowly grow cold. But nearly 40 years later, modern DNA technology finally revealed a horrifying truth.
The killer had been hiding in plain sight all along.
In this episode, we tell the full story of one of Colorado’s most chilling cold cases — The Breckenridge Killer.
