Episode 43 Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee Parts 1 & 2
In 1982, two young women went missing from Breckinridge, Colorado on the same frigid January night, but at different times. Bobbi Jo Oberholtzer was found the next morning, shot to death atop Hoosier Pass. It took seven months to find Annette Schnee, who was shot to death in a remote location near Fairplay. Investigators always knew the cases were related, but could not run down a viable suspect. Finally, a bloody glove, an orange sock, a mountain-top distress signal, and forensic genealogy all worked together to identify Alan Lee Phillips as the killer of the two women. He was convicted in September 2022 of a double murder that haunted Colorado investigators for 40 years.
