Previous blog posting was deleted by the Watch editor as allowed by TOS. This is a new post reworked to avoid complaints.
There are only two reasons to keep silent on the actions of the Telluride Marshal's Department in regards to the suspicous deaths of Blair Richardson and Harry Force:
1) A Grand Jury is in session.
2) They are hiding the truth.
Within two months of the release of the controversial book on Telluride "Exodus of Angels - The Murder of Harry Force", two of the TMO's "finest" have quit. One announced his retirement and one resigned abruptly after 18 years. Both were involved in the situations mentioned in the book. Still, no questions are being answered. Why?
How hard is it to be honest?
Requests for help by the friends and family of Blair and Harry have been ignored. Not even a response. As Kimberley (Blairs mother) asked me, "How would they feel if it was their child (or father in Harry's case)?" The answer: They just don't care.
We have a right to know the truth. The newspapers have a duty to ask questions. Whether or not Telluride likes it, this controversy will only grow bigger until the Mayor, Chief of Police, Assistant District Attorney, AG John Suthers and Mountain Village police investigator begin to answer the questions that are being asked. So, to all the businesses that have begged me and our Facebook group, Citizens for Justice to not run full page ads in Denver, Pueblo and Durango as were announced on the now deleted blog posting, all I can say is "sorry". Do not blame the grieving families or even me for that matter. The refusal of our elected officials to represent and protect ALL citizens is the engine that will bring shame to Telluride throughout the state of Colorado.
You would think that at least one of the two newspapers in Telluride would investigate the two deaths and the actions of our elected officials to hide the truth but hey...this is Telluride. (added note: thankyou Watch for allowing this dialogue).

see what the me said...etc.
but, you know, smoking cigarettes gives you lung cancer, hanging out in bars drinking all day and night makes you weak physically, no exercise, the same..
I never met the man Harry Force, have never been to his Obannon's either but any possibility that he finished up all beat up from living a hard life? My dad lived like Harry and he ended up all torn to hell..and no one ever touched him..
Shalom to you, too. Thanks for always posting with such great thought (even if I cant see your point of view).

This is too much to stomach.
I find it hard to believe that anyone was murdered in Telluride and even harder to believe that any sworn officer would not do their dambdest to find the murderer.
The marshall's office is, in my opinion, capable of many things. Incompetence,yes. Misdirected priorities, yes. Aid and abet a murderer; no effing way. Not a chance. Same with look the other way on a drug deal...as much as I bring up the taco cocaine cart I harbor no belief that any sworn officer would turn a blind eye or worse.
And I am no fan of the fellow who recently retired but in my humble opinion this is an upright man who would never be involved in any of the sorts of allegations named above. He looked after many a domestic violence victim with a good heart and was affable on the street...but he wouldn't turn in his badge if there was a murder amongst us; he would double down and help solve the thing. Any decent human being would pitch in and help. This is an upright guy and I certainly don't think he would retire if there was a murderer amongst us. Nope NFW.
This is why I get so upset when we don't solve the problems like who sold the heroin to Brian J...I expected that every stone would be turned to figure out what kind of creep would import this crap to our small town.
Besides, did the death certificate call the deaths murder or natural causes.
Too much to stomach...I don't believe a word of these slights.
