As FOX 31 reported last night:
FOX31 News has learned the FBI is investigating convicted serial killer Scott Lee Kimball as a prime suspect in one of the metro area’s most gruesome murders.
In October of 2004, the naked body of a young woman was found near a dumpster at a Westminster strip mall near 76th and Sheridan. Her hands had been cut off and it took police weeks to identify her…
FOX31 News has learned the FBI is talking to witnesses about Scott Lee Kimball, who is doing prison time in connection with the murders of three other young women and his uncle.
The Powell murder occurred during the same time frame, while Kimball was acting as an FBI informant…
As we discussed in this space several times in recent months, Scott Kimball was transferred to Colorado to work as a police informant on signed orders from none other than now-Attorney General John Suthers, who insists today he has ‘no recollection’ of any specifics regarding the case. Of course, his claims of ignorance don’t comport very well with reports that his office continued to seal records on Kimball for years afterward. It was in fact Suthers’ opponent, Democrat Stan Garnett, who finally cracked this case and put Kimball away–unfortunately, not before he killed four people while evading scrutiny due to his status as an informant.
We’ve written before, including on the current Big Line, that the Kimball case may very well be the difference in this race, and a new story like this just makes that more likely.

John Suthers was a very poor El Paso County District Attorney, an even worse US Attorney and not doing much as Attorney General.
Throw the bum out
For a guy who seldom misses a chance to sing in the GOP choir, you’re coming down awfully hard on the state’s only statewide Republican officeholder. Why, pray tell?
Suthers defense that he signs so many of these transfers is totally ridiculous. The REASON he has to personally sign off on them is so someone will be RESPONSIBLE when something goes wrong! Not so when something goes wrong, the people can be lectured about how busy U.S. Attorneys are! That’s just insulting.
Suthers does not — repeat, NOT — get a pass for bringing a multiple felon and escapee to the state to begin a killing spree. I want to see some ads about this, and then I want to see poll numbers.
Kimball wasn’t known as a murderer when he was used as an informant, but that’s cute that you infer that it’s so.
But hey, whatever it takes to brighten your day in a year when your party is headed for a momentous ass-whooping.
…the Senate is staying Dem after what happened in Repub primaries last night. Delaware could have been a pickup for the GOP, and it would’ve been with a sane member of your party.
Instead, teh crazie got nominated, driving the moderate vote back to the Dems, and keeping the majority of Repubs home.
We probably weren’t going to take that seat anyway, and at least we ditched another soft RINO.
Did you see my response to the bet?
Yes, O’Donnell is a gigantic idiot.
Although the truth is Castle had an excellent chance of taking that seat. As for fairness, what goes around comes around. Willie Hornton was brought to us courtesy of your side. We don’t make the rules. The GOP has been doing that quite successfully for decades while Dems have played D. If we can use your rules to play Suthers out of a job…boo hoo. LB.
For the record, I doubt we can defeat Suthers. But go on kicking out all those “soft” Rs who can win in purple and blue leaning states and districts, while we keep our moderate Dems and the crazies split the far right. 2010 may be your last pretty happy election for a long time LB. Bet it won’t be quite as happy as you think it will be.
Getting along with the folks that have brought this country to its financial knees is not a selling point any more.
Other than that, nice to hear from you, BC. Truly.
The Democrats in Congress should quit caving in to the Republicans who ruined the country?
I mean that people like Castle that vote for crap like cap and trade are finished. Good riddance. O’Donnell is going to make this race interesting, as big of a goof as she is.
this issue — even leaving it to the 527s has it’s perils.
If Garnett choses to make this an issue, I personally would see this as saying more about him than it does Suthers. I don’t think I would be alone in this. (Anyone out there miss Lee Atwater yet?)
the Garnett campaign shouldn’t touch it but it’s not their fault if helpful others like the Swift Boat Vets for Lies or the folks who accused McCain of having a black love child during the 2000 primary insist on stooping to that level. Of course Garnett isn’t allowed to advise the 527s one way or the other and can even say that he thinks such smears are very unfortunate and that he wants to focus on who would be the best little boy scout for the job. That’s what Bush always did. You never saw a smiling Bush endorsing anything nasty in an official campaign ad.
It doesn’t even have to be a TV ad. It can be in a push poll. If I recall that was what they did to McCain on 2000. That and the whispering campaign about how his POW experience made him too crazy to trust with nukes and such. Yes, that came from Rs in the primary, the ones who love and support our troops and vets so much more than the Dems who have made up the majority of combat vets in congress.
Lee Atwater was wildly successful, by the way, and we don’t have to miss him since we still have Karl Rove.
Unless it turns out that Suthers should have known a bit more about Kimball than is currently believed, at least.
