PUEBLO COUNTY
The Greenhorn Valley View checks each week regarding progress on the murder of long-time resident Fred Ettleman. Although we understand why the Pueblo Police Department would not want to tip their hand, we still feel that there should be some information.
We recently queried whether it was even an active investigation, and got a response to that from Roger Schneider, who was the Public Information Officer when the homicide occurred.
Below is his response: “I have spoken with our homicide detectives, and they have assured me Mr.
Ettleman’s murder is still a very active investigation. While they would not provide details, I was told they are investigating. In cases like these, there are times investigations take a lot longer than anticipated or wanted. By allowing for a full and complete investigation, including waiting for a crime lab or specific entity to process and report on findings, it allows the best possible outcome to the victim’s family and friends.”
We will continue to watch for follow-up.
