Long's spirit lives on a year after her murder
People were drawn to her positive attitude, her kind heart, her infectious smile — whether she was acting in a play at the Venue Theatre in Conifer, playing on the Platte Canyon High School softball team or working in one of her family’s Bailey businesses.
“She was one hell of a kid,” said Bob Ikola, a longtime Bailey resident who coached Long on the Platte Canyon softball team.
So, when the 17-year-old was found murdered in her home off County Road 43 in Bailey last December, the community crumbled.
It’s been a year since that day, and the healing is far from over.
“Everyone was in such a dark place for so long. And they still are,” said Lauren Hunt, executive director at the Venue Theatre where Long performed in several plays. “But now that the kids are able to openly talk about Maggie and reminisce about funny stories and how she truly affected them, (it) has been really cool.

From Lauren Hunt:
My birthday wish: Justice for Maggie Long
For my birthday this year (9/23) I am asking everyone I know and everyone who sees this (even if we've never met) to PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.
MAGGIE LONG DESERVES JUSTICE ~ and YOU can help!
Maggie Long was a beautiful soul with potential to change the world. She was brutally murdered - burned alive in her home - on December 1st, 2017... just two weeks before her 18th birthday.
Her killers are still on the loose almost 2 years later.
There is a $50,000 reward in this case.
Look closely at these sketches. Look at the photos of the cars seen at/near her home that day. Look at the items stolen from her home - do you know someone who acquired a gun that fit those descriptions any time since the robbery? Where did they get it? Does it have a serial number on it? Where did that safe go? It didn't just disappear...
Watch this video tribute to Maggie:
She deserves justice!
Go to MaggieLongTaskforce.com for more information and to give tips to the PCSO, FBI, CBI, ATF. You can leave an anonymous tip.
This Monday, 9/23, True Crime Chronicles will release a podcast about the case - trying to give Maggie a voice to a larger audience. Please share the podcast as well.
PLEASE SHARE. PLEASE NEVER FORGET MAGGIE. She needs us to be her voice. #JusticeforMaggieLong
Thank you,
Lauren
