Kidnap and Murder of Adolf Coors III
For some reason, this story has not gotten a lot of press. I saw a show on tv a while back about the botched kidnapping of Adolf Coors III. Some idiot kidnapped Adolf Coors III and held him for $500,000 ransom, but screwed it up and killed him.
On September 14, 1960, the body of Adolph Coors, III was found in a dump area
near Shamballa off Jackson Creek Road. Coors had been abducted and murdered
February 9, 1960 by Joseph Corbett, Jr. in an apparent attempt to kidnap Coors
and hold him for ransom of $500,000. Corbett was captured in British Columbia
in November of 1960, and served 18 years in prison. He was released in 1978 and
lives in Denver.
