Columbine crime scene photos6/15/2023 But it's clear that the new Sheriff, Ted Mink, wanted to do all he could to signify he wanted to be open to the parents and the community, unlike former Sheriff John Stone, who "Stone-walled" us about many pieces of evidence. So could this mean some materials could still be hidden from us? Yes. Some marterials are closed by court order. We could look but we could not touch (there was lots of security on hand.) Written volumes of reports were displayed but could not be read. There were two rooms full of materials-everything from propane tanks to bomb and bullet fragments, the infamous trencoats the killers wore, shot-by-shot (literally) diagrams of the crime scene, bullet casings, videos, and much more. They had to use the County fairgrounds for the showing. The new Sheriff wanted to demonstrate that everything they had was being made available. One evening they put the materials on display for just the parents of the victims the next day they were on display for the public. It's part of its cooperative effort with the offices of State Attorney General Ken Salazar and local District Attorney Dave Thomas to try to release all the evidence from the case-a response to charges that evidence was being hidden from the public. In March of 2004 the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office put on display all the evidence that's been collected from the Columbine investigation.
