Just watched the 48 Hours episode on this. Very sad that the defense insisted on accusing Bobby Jo Oberholtzer's husband of the murders. Can't believe they put him through that, after all he's been through for so many years. Really detestable defense attorneys.

It's a shame Jackson took his own life without confessing to any other assaults or murders he might have committed. Then again, he didn't seem like the kind of guy who felt guilty or sought redemption. A truly useless waste of breath.
 
On the frigid, snow-driven night of January 6, 1982, law enforcement in the ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado, got a report from local resident Jeffrey Oberholtzer that his 29-year-old wife Barbara “Bobbie Jo” was missing.

She worked as a receptionist and had gone out to celebrate a job promotion. She planned to return home by hitching a ride, something she did regularly. But this time, she never made it.

The next morning, the couple’s friends who’d formed asearch party found Bobbie Jo’s body in the snow off of a highway.

“Her body was essentially frozen,” Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Miller told Buried in the Backyard on Oxygen.

She had been shot. There was blood on her and on the snow. There was a zip tie on one of her wrists.

“As soon as I saw that, I said ‘This is no accident.’ The victim was murdered,” said Jim Hardtke, a retired agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
