Guns, safe, jade figurines stolen from torched home where teen was found slain - Video

Park County’s sheriff and state and federal investigators appealed to the public Wednesday for information that might crack the Dec. 1 murder of a 17-year-old girl, acknowledging they have no strong suspects.

“We’re committed to finding the people responsible for taking the life of Maggie Long,” Sheriff Fred Wegener said at an afternoon news conference where photographs were made public showing a safe, two guns and jade figurines that were taken from the girl’s home the day she was killed.



Although the pictures were released, Wegener declined to release other information – including how Long was killed and whether she was sexually assaulted – because he said it could compromise the investigation.

Wegener was also at a loss to explain the assertion by his department two days after Long’s killing and a fire set in her home that no body had been found – “we made our comment, we’ll live with it,” he said.

Wegener said “an apparent burglary occurred” before the Long family’s home was set on fire, and also that there were items stolen from the home.

Camper elaborated, saying a green safe, some jade figurines, and two firearms – a Beretta 9mm handgun, and an “AK-47 style” of rifle – were stolen. He showed pictures of items similar to those that were taken.

An FBI official said there was a “high probability” that someone in the community had come into contact with the person or people involved in Long’s murder. All officials said there may be one person, or multiple people, responsible for her death.

The official said that the suspect might live in the community, and may be either following the case closely or seeming detached from their typical behavior and relationships.

He urged residents to report anything possibly-related to the case to the tip line established for the case, saying “no piece of information is too small.”

The officials said the investigation continued, and that the coroner’s report would remain under seal while the investigation is ongoing.

Law enforcement officials, in their first public address since confirming the death of Platte Canyon student Maggie Long at her family’s home in Bailey in December, have increased the reward being offered in the case to $20,000.

In addition, officials confirmed that a burglary took place the night she was killed. A safe, firearms and small jade statues were stolen from the home off Highway 43. Officials also clarified that the collection of DNA samples last month was not completed at random.

Though Wegener further relayed a timeline of the events, he dodged other questions about the investigation, including whether Long was sexually assaulted, whether the department thought multiple individuals were responsible for her death, whether the Long family had indicated the possibility that Long was killed by someone they knew, and more.

Wegener also offered little explanation for why his department initially lied to the public about a body being found at the scene, why the Sheriff’s Office still feels the community isn’t at risk despite the theft of weapons and ammunition, as well as why it took the department more than two months to address the public — stating only that investigators had a lot of information to sort through.

Long case lingers on with no end in sight

March 10 marked 100 days since 17-year old Maggie Long was found murdered at her family’s home off County Road 43 in Bailey and despite a significant number of tips from the public, investigators are no closer to knowing who killed the Platte Canyon High School senior.

“We don’t really have an update on the case at this point,” said Park County Undersheriff Dave Wohlers. “We’ve just been taking tips that have been coming in, but there’s nothing real great or anything. We’re kind of in the same place as we were when we last spoke.”

According to Wohlers, the Park County Sheriff’s Office has four detectives devoted to the case and had invested about 2,000 hours of manpower in the investigation as of mid-February. ...investigators still haven’t identified a suspect, and subsequent interviews and DNA testing of several people in the Bailey area were unfruitful.

Furthermore, a Feb. 4 press conference — wherein representatives from all four agencies discussed items taken from the Long family home, and announced a reward of $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone involved in Long’s murder — also failed to elicit any substantial leads in the case.

Despite that, Wohlers said several individuals have been ruled out as suspects in Long’s death, but he declined to specify how those individuals were ruled out or whether those individuals were family members, friends or the tenant who called 9-1-1 to report fighting and a fire at the home the night Long was killed.

It has been 4 months. 4 months since the murder of my beautiful, loving friend. 4 months without closure, 4 months of torment and sadness. 4 months of tears and immense pain.
4 months without our beloved friend Maggie.

4 months is too long. It’s too long of a time for her disgusting and senseless murderer to have spent free from their actions.

If you know something, even if it may seem minor, please come forward. We have to get justice for this incredible girl.

Tip Line: 303-239-4243
$20,000 Reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of any individual involved.

Please share this post.

Still no suspect 124 days after Maggie Long's death
The sheriff's office along with state and federal investigators held a press conference on Feb. 7. Since then, there hasn't been a formal update on the investigation.

KUSA – It’s been more than four months since 17-year-old Maggie Long was killed and no suspects have been named in the case the Park County Sheriff’s Office has called its number one priority.

On Dec. 1, 2017, Maggie Long had plans to attend an evening concert at Platte Canyon High School. She left school and did not return. Her car was found at her family’s home off County Road 43. The home had been set on fire, and the Park County Sheriff’s Office said it was clear there had been a burglary.

The sheriff’s office along with state and federal investigators held a press conference on Feb. 7. Since then, there hasn’t been a formal update on the investigation.

The Park County Coroner’s Office tells 9NEWS it will not release the completed autopsy report for Maggie Long at the request of the district attorney.
