CO CO - Eugene Fish, 53, Canon City, 21 June 2004

[ThePhantom]

Oh my my my, I can't believe I'm reading this -- this case has nagged at me for years and years then what do I see -- *thank you* so much Kat for finding and putting this info here. Periodically I continue to research this case and it is so puzzling. It was heartbreaking when Mr. Fish's father, who spent all of his time and money trying to find out what happened to his son, died...and he died a broken man, so sad that he could not uncover the truth. I have never been happy with how this investigation was handled, and I hope and pray Mr. Herbert will get the truth. Mr. Fish's wife was always suspicious to me, and I felt the local authorities did a poor job investigating Gene's disappearance.

Mystery of missing federal agent in Fremont County still unsolved after 13 years

http://www.csindy.com/coloradosprings/mystery-of-missing-federal-agent-in-fremont-county-still-unsolved-after-13-years/Content?oid=4332820

When evidence of a 2006 murder turned up in the personal storage unit of Fremont County detective Robert Dodd in December, a man who lives halfway across the country was intensely interested.

Frank Hernigle of Fultonville, New York, wondered if that storage unit might also contain evidence in another case Dodd had been handling for years. That case involves Hernigle's cousin, Gene Fish, a retired federal agent who mysteriously vanished from his rural home west of Cañon City on June 21, 2004.

While not much is being said about the investigation into Dodd's alleged mishandling of that murder evidence, Fremont County authorities told Hernigle that nothing connected to Fish was contained in the storage unit. But Hernigle is somewhat encouraged by a new wrinkle in his cousin's case that might finally provide answers.

Since June 21, 2004, no one has heard from Gene Fish, who would be 66 now. He's never used his passport, credit cards or contacted any in a large circle of friends and colleagues, Hernigle says.

Gene's parents, now both dead, spent about $100,000 investigating their son's disappearance. Those efforts included hiring retired Colorado Springs Police homicide detectives Dave Spencer and Lou Smit. "Lou and I both agreed they had enough information to go to a grand jury and get an indictment years ago," Spencer said on Feb. 2. But the Fremont County authorities ignored their help, he says. In fact, District Attorney Molly Chilson threatened to have Spencer arrested for interfering in the sheriff's investigation.

"We basically got told to mind our own business," he says. "It's a sad situation when it could have been resolved years ago."
