GUILTY CO - Bobbie Oberholtzer, 29, & Annette Schnee, 21, killed, Breckenridge, 3 July 1982 *arrest in 2021

I don't think they're related, but I have thought about the orange socks in the past and admit it's weird. I think victims may be found wearing white or grey or blue socks, and it just doesn't get focused on or stick with us as much as orange.
It would be weird if they were related. I mean, the killer either, a) brought along & left orange socks at the scene or, b) got so enraged when he saw orange socks that he couldn't hold back.

I just saw this case tonight on Unsolved Mysteries and then read more on the Web.

Regarding the photo of the unidentified man found on Schnee's pack, with the high and tight haircut and the shirt and undershirt the man is wearing, the first thing that popped into my head tonight was marine or army.

Just wondering who else finds these three murders may be related?

Orange was a popular color in the '70's and probably into the early '80's as well. The MO for the murders of the CO women and the woman in TX are not similar, so I personally don't think they're related.

I do not know of course but perhaps these cases might be connected to a Serial Killer who was operating in Colorado. As I say I am not sure but worth a look I would say:

Just saw this case tonight highlighted on "On the case with Paula Zahn". At the end they said if you have information or you want to find out more information to call Crime Stoppers and visit Rocky Mountain Cold Case 1982 .

Of Interest they said that they have tested the glove for whose blood it is, and it does not match anybody in CODIS. With all the successes we have seen with genealogical breakthroughs, I wonder if they are going to use that to try to identify the person.

Here it says that Bobbie`s husband is a strong suspect: Bobbie Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee

Very long article on this case. I guess there may be nothing new to people who have been following this case, but I've never heard of it, so found it interesting.

Yes! Colorado has been getting a lot of cold cases solved recently with the use of genetic genealogy.

Here's an article I just got - a map of where everything was/is.

Interestingly this case didn't make it to the Unsolved Mysteries that were all posted to Youtube as it seems some segments were edited out by the producers either to family being all deceased or wanting their privacy or the main suspect featured in each segment having been cleared by LE in the meantime.
