The Park County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with several federal, state and local agencies to investigate a December homicide that left a 17-year-old girl found dead inside her family’s burned home.
Officials released a suspect sketch on Friday of a man who authorities said was seen at Maggie Long’s house the day she was found dead inside her burned-out Bailey home.
Long’s body was found in early December inside the home, which had been set on fire on Dec. 1. The teen was supposed to go to a Friday night concert at Platte Valley High School but didn’t show up there, said Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener.
Authorities said “an apparently burglary” happened before the Long family’s home was set on fire.
Among items stolen from the home are jade figurines, a 9 mm Beretta handgun, a rifle similar to an AK-47 and a large, green safe with a combination dial and handle.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call a tip line at 303-239-4243.
