Adam Schrader, Colorado man, 70, is charged with 1982 cold case murders of two hitchhikers in the Rocky Mountains as its revealed 'he was RESCUED from a snowdrift just hours after killing them' when he sent a SOS with his truck's headlights. Daily Mail, May 26, 2021. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news ... s-killing-them.html
("Schnee's family hired retired Denver homicide detective Charlie McCormick as a private investigator [McCormick charged the family $1 a year]")
Note:
(a) The above report is selected due to numerous photos.
(b) Phillips's arrest was made on February 24, 2021 in a (pre-)planned traffic stop (to catch him unprepared s so that he would not resist). Why does Phillips suddenly appear in natinal news media?
On the night of murders: "As Harold E Bray peered out an airplane window over the Colorado mountains one night in January 1982, he noticed flashes of light on a darkened pass below: three short, three long, then three short again. It was an 'SOS,' Bray, a local sheriff, realized. He quickly alerted the captain. * * * His astounding rescue tale made national headlines [at the time]. * * * The development made national headlines and Phillips's name and image flashed on local television. That was when Dave Montoya, a former fire chief in Clear Creek County, Colo, recognized the suspect as the man he had saved one snowy night decades earlier. 'We ended up picking up the guy straight out of hell,' Montoya told KUSA [a NBC-affiliated television station based in Denver, Colo, which published a written report on May 23, 2021]." Washington Post, May 23, 2021 (online date).
(c) Annette Schnee's body, not skeletons, was found half a year later. That was because she was killed in winter in high altitude, where snow does not melt if it does, until summer.
(d) So far, news reports only says, probably because authorities (state and local, in Colorado -- though FBI later joined in the hunt) withheld information until arraignment, that the cold cases were cracked through DNA (or forensic) genealogy, but do not say where the DNA came from the crime scenes. Whether it was semen or blood of Phillips, it is unclear; for the latter, recall that Phillips displayed a gigantic bruise on his face, suggesting that at least a victim fought for her life tenaciously.
