''Roy Bowden was raised in Denver where he attended West High School. He joined the Air Force and served in Korea as an Air Policeman. Roy earned the Korean Service Medal and the United Nations Service Medal. Upon his discharge, he returned to Denver and worked as produce manager at Miller’s Grocery. Very personable, Roy’s career included stints as a dealer for Salad Master, a salesman for Borax and a trail bike dealer. Roy’s first marriage produced two sons, four daughters and lasted 13 years. Following his divorce, Roy married Patricia Ruby. They started Aero Chem with Ron Blake, a partner who provided financial backing. The business supplied chemicals for swimming pools and ski resorts. Ron & Roy each owned 49% with Patricia holding the other 2% of Aero Chem. There was life insurance payable to the other partner if one died.
On June 6, 1977, Roy & Patricia Bowden were gunned down in their Perry Pines home near Sedalia, Colorado. Evidence suggests they knew their killer as there were no signs of forced entry. The CBI was called in to assist the rural Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Although there was more than one suspect, no arrests were made. Blood samples collected at the scene produced no DNA profile of the killer. Some documents appear to be missing from the case file. This double murder awaits informants to come forward and call the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 303-660-7579 or Lt. Darren Weekly at 303-660-7548.''
