The Denver Post, Oct. 3, 2013

A 2013 article by Kirk Mitchell published in The Denver Post regarding Constance Marie "Connie" Paris. This article is also available here.

[*** Note: Kirk Mitchell is/was the creator of The Denver Post Blog's Cold Case section. His blog articles are often scattered with factual errors and filled with spelling and grammar mistakes, and, unlike other blogs (but somewhat like regular newspaper articles), often did not cite or mention its sources. Furthermore, very, very little of the information Kirk Mitchell provided can be found in other sources online, with at least some of it posed as interviews of involved parties conducted by Mitchell to use in his blog. Because of this, none of the aforementioned information is verifiable, with only part of the remainder — i.e., the basic facts/premise of the case — being congruent with known facts from other sources. Why exclusive interviews such as the ones supposedly included in this DPB post would be included in a now-defunct blog but not in the actual newspaper is unknown to me, which further adds to my doubt regarding the authenticity and/or accuracy of the information presented.

I have preserved all typos, grammatical errors, and incorrect facts from the original blog post; I have only dealt with the formatting to make it fit in this doc. For these reasons I am not using any of his information as a source; I am simply providing this a) to (superficially) cross-check information in other sources, and b) because I try to compile all online references to a crime in one place.

All of the above goes for all DPB Cold Case posts made by Kirk Mitchell that I — hesitantly — provide on my website.

However, the above refers to the Denver Post Blog; the pdf below is a regular article that was published in The Denver Post itself. I will be unable to access any earlier editions of The Denver Post from before 1989 — i.e., the time range of the crimes I cover, as well as a span of time from before Kirk Mitchell became employed by TDP — until January 2026 at the earliest.]
