— Federal Heights plans to tackle speeding across the city in the new year
City leaders told Denver7 they hope to install four speed cameras and two red light cameras at four trouble spots in April:
Norm Scrivani gets a front-row seat to speeders
It's a problem Federal Heights neighbors say they've been dealing with for years
"We were hoping they put a light here or something to stop [it] because we've had people go through the fence..
a car was split in half following a deadly high-speed crash at West 92nd Avenue and North Tejon St
"It is a hard thing to come up with solutions for this busy of a street," said City Council Member Bonnie Sellers
Sellers has made it her mission to come up with a solution
The cameras are set to be installed in April
Violations for speeding will cost $40 while running a red light will cost $75
Speed limits for those cameras have not been determined
City leaders say they are still ironing out the details
neighbors said they're relieved to know their safety concerns are being taken seriously
I don't know what they're waiting for," said Scrivani
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right
lending a helping hand and following through on promises
into an affordable housing complex for seniors.
The land has been owned by RBA Federal since 2018
The company is registered to real estate agent Rem Bashari
who declined to comment on the project.
Denverite first learned about the project through documents submitted to Denver’s planning department.
46 would be one-bedroom units and four would be two-bedroom units.
A total of 31 parking spots would be included at ground level
The plot of land is near Westside Investment Partners’ Loretto Heights development on a 72-acre historic campus and close to other apartment buildings.
The plans were submitted to the city planning department by architect Harsh Parikh of Santulan Architecture
The developer hasn’t been publicly identified
“It's so competitive to get low-income housing tax credits now, so you have to find areas that truly need it,” he said.
The project, if approved and built, would be four stories tall and nearly 40,000 square feet. Just over a quarter of the land would be used for the apartment building.
Concept plans are the first stage of developments and are often used to test whether a project would be viable. There is no guarantee that the city will approve the plans, or that the developer will ultimately build the project.
The project is unlikely to require a rezoning, meaning that it can be approved by staff without a vote from the Denver City Council.
According to the plans, if approved, construction would start in May 2026 and be wrapped by May 2027.
Because this is a 100 percent affordable housing project, the city has prioritized its review.

The closures are part of a national strategy from the pharmacy chain to close 1,200 stores — which accounts for a quarter of its brick-and-mortar stores — across three years
citing “increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures.”
The six Walgreens stores closing are spread across a few cities
Customers who have their prescriptions filled at these locations are already being directed to the new pharmacy their prescriptions are being forwarded to.
In mid-October, Walgreens announced two closures in Denver, one in Westwood and one in West Colfax.
Walgreens — which faces significant competition from both online and other brick-and-mortar pharmacies like CVS — has had financial difficulties in recent years
fueled by an influx of inflation weariness among customers
who are becoming more selective when it comes to retail goods

A human resources executive who owns one of the highest properties on Federal Heights in Salt Lake City has listed his 12,000-square-foot mansion and surrounding 30 acres of foothill property
which Kurt Larsen began building at the mouth of Limekiln Gulch in 2007
hit the market on Tuesday for $11.9 million
eight-bath property comes equipped with an outdoor pool
movie theater and sits among the sprawling homes above the capital city
It is among the homes built highest up in the foothills in Federal Heights
an area where sprawling estates have clawed up the mountainside
but I don’t know that I’ve seen any that’s got more details that are just outstanding,” said listing broker Bob Whitney
with the Whitney Team at the Watts Group Real Estate
“The setting up there is phenomenal.”
Larsen is a former real estate developer who later started Resource Management
which handles human resources processes for companies across the country and grossed over $640 million annually
Larsen founded the company in 1992 and was named a finalist for the Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2006
He recently sold the business and Downtown office building and is now moving to sell his home
“Despite its urban proximity, the 12,000-square-foot home is its own private retreat sited to savor the views of the city,” the brokers wrote
“Connections extol outdoor living as spacious as the home with a mountainside waterfall
and an exquisitely complete outdoor kitchen.”
On the first full day of marketing the property
Whitney joked that he needed to get in touch with billionaire Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith
who also successfully landed a National Hockey League franchise that will play in Salt Lake City come September
subdued interiors offer a home for generous entertaining with large connected sitting areas that flow together and outside through the disappearing glass doors,” the listing says
the 2,200-square-foot primary suite retains privacy.”
deck and southwest-facing balconies all have 270-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains
The home also has a view of the historic lime kilns where early Utah pioneers processes limestone into materials that were used for construction in the mid-19th century
“All we need is one buyer that recognizes quality and expects quality and a certain setting and there it is,” Whitney said

Six more Denver-area Walgreens will shutter as the national chain continues to consolidate
The company confirmed the following closures:
Walgreens announced in October that it would close 1,200 stores in the next three years
Spokeswoman Jennifer Cotto confirmed these six are part of that initiative
“Increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures are weighing on our ability to cover the costs associated with rent
and supply needs,” she said of the decision in an email
The announcement comes after the company closed at least five stores across Denver
The business recently reported a $245 million operational loss from the start of September through the end of November
That number was far more than the $39 million loss it tallied in the same time period in 2023
CEO Timothy Wentworth largely blamed anti-theft measures on an earnings call
“When you lock things up…you don’t sell as many of them,” he said earlier this month

Joggers (declined giving names) enjoy the sunshine while exercising in Federal Heights area of Salt Lake City Jan 22nd
BY ERIC CABRERA
Tune in to Jeff Caplan’s Afternoon News at 5:15pm.
Along with causing respiratory issues including coughing and runny nose
Intermountain said people with heart disease
can experience damaging inflammation throughout their bodies
A group of patients tested by Intermountain that did not have heart disease showed none of the inflammatory markers seen in the bloodwork of study participants with heart disease
said people with heart disease should stay indoors on bad air quality days
“As you’re exercising you breath faster,” Horne said
“so you’ll take in substantially more air
up to ten times as much air if you’re doing aerobic exercise.”
Horne said people with heart disease should go one step further and consider buying a high efficiency air filter for their homes.
And similar to those with respiratory issues
Horne advised people with heart disease to avoid exercising outdoors during Utah’s inversion season.
“People should potentially stay indoors
not spend much time outside where the air is more polluted,” he said
Horne advised people to head to higher elevations where the air is clearer

young songwriters Callum Dingley and Jack Behrens of Federal Heights are an heirloom seed in the SLC music scene
only care and nurturing; under the proper conditions
This comparison has nothing to do with the duo’s teenage status or the suggestion that they will eventually be great musicians
the fate of Federal Heights is predetermined to create satisfying
sincere artistry—their recent self-titled album proves it
Released just before Behrens moved out of state to attend college
Federal Heights plays like an origin story—an ode to the people and places that make us what we are
The eponymous album itself refers to the foothills neighborhood in the northwest corner of Salt Lake
just between the University of Utah and the Wasatch Mountains
On “Joss Fong”—presumably titled after a popular Vox reporter—Behrens sings
“It was fall again / It’s funny how it happens / You were headed east for better drugs and the Ivy Leagues.” It’s a bittersweet reflection on a completed chapter of life
The lyrics aren’t bogged down by the personal specifics of moving away from home and into the dorms
Behrens and Dingley manage to zoom out and pursue the nuance of tone and emotion
It’s this literary maturity that makes Federal Heights such a promising debut
Another album highlight is closing track “Sixo’s Last Love Song.” With its percussive minor chords and dissonant piano accompaniment
the Behrens-penned track draws on Conor Oberst’s (of Bright Eyes) early 2000s work
Songs like “Lua” and “First Day of My Life” have served as a sort of magnetic north for songwriting teenagers for almost 20 years
but “Sixo’s Last Love Song” never feels like a carbon copy
filtered through familiar influences but straight from the heart
A prime example from “Sixo’s Last Love Song” reads
whenever you are near / These broken fragments re-adhere / Laughing strapped to a burning tree / Just to leave you with a piece of me.” Precise lines like these can only come from within
they’re also loose enough to let listeners engage on their own terms
Behrens handles singing duties on most of Federal Heights
using folksy “Travis Picking,” cowboy chords and drop-D tuning
Dingley plays gracefully laid-back bass lines
The pair DIY’d the whole thing on an 8-track cassette mixing desk
like a series of demos released three decades after the original mixes hit the radio
still finding his timbre as a young vocalist who seemingly gleaned the basics by listening to Townes Van Zandt and Elliott Smith
Another strength of Federal Heights is its courage to tread beyond the love song monopoly that pervades most singer-songwriter catalogs
The opening verse of “Loondown” embodies a character caught in the throes of contemporary internet angst: “The young brash isolate / Cares only to mimic / The hateful smog of ideologues … / He finds a stage to make his noise,” Behrens sings
he serves up a well-composed verse that’s both smart and restrained
Behrens possesses an uncommon ability to hold back his own cleverness in order to serve the music
It’s exciting to hear original music from musicians whose daily high school uniforms undoubtedly included a pair of headphones
it’s easier than ever to broaden sonic horizons
but it’s still up to individuals to put in the time
John Fahey and Nick Drake—an auspicious blend of references
considering that Behrens and Dingley aren’t yet old enough to buy cigarettes in their home state
Federal Heights have built up a foundation of beloved records that they can continue to fruitfully mine for a lifetime
The musicians behind Federal Heights no longer live in the same state
so it’s possible that future projects will arrive under yet-unknown monikers
both members have charted an open-ended course into a life of scribbling lyrics and fiddling with chord progressions
Some people simply can’t help but write good songs

Denver boasts its fair share of top summer theme parks to keep the young and young-at-heart entertained
With a myriad of amusing rides and attractions
There are both your standard amusement park rides like roller coasters and merry-go-rounds, as well as water parks to beat the summer heat. Season dates vary, however, most parks open by Memorial Day and remain open through Labor Day, much like your neighborhood swimming pool. A couple of the last listings aren’t you’re typical theme park, and are located just outside the Mile High City metro
Here are the theme and water parks near Denver
Denver’s most well-known and largest theme park, Elitch Gardens boasts both an amusement park and a water park in the same riverside location
While the water park is open from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day from 10:30 am until 6 pm
Open starting mid-April for season pass holders, then on weekends until early May when it begins operating daily. Continuing until mid-August, the park is only open on weekends through October for its Halloween festivities
Sold to a group of local investors, led by billionaire Stan Kroenke, owner of the Colorado Avalanche, Rapids, Mammoth, and Denver Nuggets, the future of Elitch is uncertain as the area is being transformed into a new residential and commercial neighborhood known as The River Mile
it will force Elitch Garden to either close or relocate
2000 Elitch Cir, Denver, CO 80204 | 303-595-4386 | elitchgardens.com
Located in Federal Heights, just 9 miles north of Downtown Denver on I-25, Water World is Colorado’s largest water park
Boasting over 300 Ellis and Associates certified lifeguards
Water World is a well-known summer attraction for Denverites and was even mimicked on an episode of South Park (as Pi Pi’s Splashtown)
With attractions for all age groups, even adults will find many of the rides thrilling. Guests can enjoy taking a gondola ride, going on slides, floating down the lazy river, or jumping in the wave pool. There are also dining options
like the Pharaoh’s Feast All Day Buffet
and a surf shop where you can pick up bathing suits
The park is usually open from Memorial Day to Labor Day from 10 am to 6 pm
Day passes come with access to the entire park
allowing you to leave for lunch and return

Opened in 1908, Lakeside Amusement Park is one of Colorado’s oldest theme parks
Even if you’re more into sightseeing than riding the rides
except for those shorter than 36″ who can enter for free
guests who wish to go on the rides will need to purchase additional ride coupons or get a bundled pass
Named after the lake that stands as the park’s centerpiece
some of the rides include a cyclone coaster
The beautiful lake centerpiece gives the theme park its name
Lakeside Amusement Park is just off I-70 on Sheridan Blvd. It’s typically open from mid-May to mid-Setember each year.f
4601 Sheridan Boulevard, Denver, CO 80212 | 303-477-1621 | lakesideamusementpark.com
While this next one’s not your average amusement park, it is a family-friendly park with a theme. Located in Morrison on Highway 285, just a little ways southwest of CO-470 and the plains of Denver, Tiny Town is home to a miniature village and railroad
this “World Famous” gem is best suited for younger children
families can spend a day exploring together
Tiny Town & Railroad’s season starts in late May
Open daily from 10 am – 5 pm through Labor Day
6249 S Turkey Creek Rd, Morrison, CO 80465 | 303-697-6829 | tinytownrailroad.com
That’s a roundup of the notable theme parks within an easy drive of Colorado’s capital city
After Golden’s Heritage Amusement Park closed in 2018
the Denver area lost one of its longtime family attractions
the ones mentioned above are here to stay and prosper

un gran hombre y excelente presidente de misión
Thanks for sharing this information sister Moss
I had the honor of serving as counselor to President Moss
I know without a doubt that he has received his just reward from our Heavenly Father
My condolences to the Moss family and everyone he leave behind
I will always remember Brian as our Teachers leader and Scout leader when we lived in Potomac Maryland in 76-77
I remember Him taking us all skiing to some resort I can’t remember now in Pennsylvania and how much fun he made it
Coming from Utah he said these hills don’t compare to the resorts out west
The last time we saw him was when our family moved back to Salt lake in 1977 and we ran into him in a McDonalds in Pennsylvania once again
I always wondered what happened to him over the years and am saddened to see his struggles with Parkinson’s at the end of his life
I will always have fond memories of how alive and fun he was
It’s just crazy how fast life goes and you need to embrace everyday and love your family
I had the honor to serve my mission under his administration and I have nothing but fond memories of him
and my condolences to his beautiful family
The best advice he gave me was to try it without being afraid or embarrassed
That advice continues to guide me to this day
My deepest condolences to the Moss family.He was my mission president in Tampico and he gave one of the wisest advice I ever had.I'm thankful for the time being under his guidance.May his family find solace in the love of our Heavenly Father
May our Lord surround you with his love a
Our deepest sympathies on Brian’s passing to you

Dear Moss Family,It is with great sadness that I read of the passing of Brian

The Hardy family had great admiration for his outstanding parents
I enjoyed being a cheerleader for Brian's basketball team
The youth in the the Chevy Chase ward had a 2nd father in Alan Moorehead who also loved Brian very much
I loved reading about Brian's exceptional life -- full of accomplishments
Please accept my deepest condolences on the irreplaceable loss of President Moss
I had the privilege of knowing and serving under President Moss during my mission in Mexico-Tampico from 2006 to 2007

The City of Federal Heights is known for having one of America’s biggest water parks
A small city located between Westminster and Thornton
Federal Heights only has a total area of 1.8 square miles
As of 2020, there were around 14,382 residents in this Adams County town
It sits at an elevation of 5,292′ on the main thoroughfare of the Front Range
There are a few activities in town to explore
as well as eateries and locally owned businesses
What started out as bison hunting grounds for the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes eventually turned into a homesteading site for settlers in the late 1800s
Five sites were claimed in the Federal Heights area
but many of them struggled to fulfill their commitments due to the harsh Colorado weather
The town was officially incorporated in 1940, and signed by the 38 landowners living in the present-day boundaries of Federal Heights. The town’s government has put together historical information about each of the 38 owners
paying homage to the people who built the community’s foundation
Pasqual Lombardi served as the first mayor in 1942
The town has grown to almost 15,000 people and is continuing to expand as the entire Denver Metro area blossoms
The city got its name from its location on Federal Boulevard
where 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles commute through every day
Water World – A 67-acre place of fun and adventure for all ages
it’s one of the country’s largest water theme parks
Water World is a facility of the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District and was awarded as one of America’s top ten water parks by the Travel Channel
The park offers free parking for guests looking for water-filled adventures
Water World started operation in 1979 with only two waterslides
it boasts 50 family-friendly attractions like Wally World for the tots and Voyage to the Center of the Earth
It also features a great selection of thrilling rides like water slides
Badlands Disc Golf Course – This 18-hole golf course offers a great view of the landscape and a series of fun courses for players of any level
It also has an 18-hole “Blair Witch” course hidden in the woods next to the regular course
perfect for those eyeing a more challenging experience
Hilltop Gardens – An oasis for plant and garden lovers
this garden center offers a wide selection of high-quality plants and trees from annuals to perennials
It has been a community staple for over 25 years and is locally owned
Because it’s on the smaller side, Federal Heights doesn’t have much for hotels in town. However, nearby neighbors Westminster has hotels and Thornton has hotels to choose from
Camping – Standley Lake Regional Park has 66 campsites and 6 tent rentals to choose from
The season runs from May through September
and sites are suitable for both tent and RV camping
Fishing – Standley Lake is a short 15-minute drive to the west and has 1,200 acres of water to cast a line in

Editor's note: This article is a part of a series reviewing Utah and U.S. history for KSL.com's Historic section
SALT LAKE CITY — Federal Heights is a unique example of how Salt Lake City has changed throughout time
What was once an industrial zone northeast of downtown Salt Lake City is now a quiet residential area
Tudor and several other architectural styles that make the neighborhood so quaint
says the area doesn't have the same types of historic protections as its next-door neighborhood
which is posing a threat to decades-old homes in this part of the city
"It's had a lot of recent teardowns," she said
very well-maintained architecture — lots of different types of styles of architecture."
That's a big reason why Preservation Utah is highlighting the Federal Heights neighborhood for its 52nd annual Historic Homes Tour this Saturday
an event where people can participate in guided and self-guided tours of seven to nine homes in the area
Federal Heights is an interesting neighborhood for a few reasons, said Bim Oliver, a historian and architect, who gave a presentation on the neighborhood for Preservation Utah earlier this year
First, the neighborhood zone was once home to a few slaughterhouses, brickyards and kilns, especially in the late 19th century. The ruins of those kilns can still be found just above the neighborhood to this day
While there were some people who lived in the area
it started to become a residential area in 1906 when LeGrand Young
who sought to build more homes east of the city's grid system
Oliver explained that this led to a "significantly contentious" battle between the University of Utah and the developers
which ended in a lawsuit that was eventually dismissed
When the dust settled from the legal drama
the neighborhood began to take shape in the area that is now 100 South to 2nd Avenue and from Virginia Street to North Campus Drive

The home was one of a few residences in the area before it grew over time
(Photo: Utah State History)The developers placed restrictions that essentially only made it possible for single-family homes to be constructed
They also had marketed the area well during the legal dispute
touting the area for its incredible view of the Salt Lake Valley and the Great Salt Lake
Oliver even dug up an old advertisement that noted the "pure" air in Federal Heights
which was away from the smog-filled valley below
Yet it took a few years for the area to grow
A photo of the view of the Federal Heights area and a stone pillar entrance way taken on March 2
The area was marketed as a refuge from smog in other parts of the valley
(Photo: Utah State History)"The Lower Heights didn't develop very quickly," he said
"The true development of this area didn't occur until probably somewhere in the 1910s
it really accelerated in through the 1950s."
The second interesting component is that two dimensions of the neighborhood merged into one over time
The second section is located north of 2nd Avenue and is also tucked between the Avenues and the University of Utah
inching closer toward the city's green foothills
the land eventually switched ownership to Bonneville on the Hill
growing largely between 1926 and the 1950s
Oliver believes the two sides eventually became one Federal Heights in 1948 during a zoning dispute related to fraternity houses in the area
"The residents of several neighborhoods within what we now know as the Heights — Federal Heights itself
petitioned the city to zone their neighborhoods together
meaning it's single-family residential," he said
"That was to keep out the enemy and the enemy was the fraternities."
The city approved the petition at the time
combining the four areas into one neighborhood entity
a company acquired 63 acres in the zone and above it
leading to even more homes at the top of where Federal Heights is today
Preservation Utah has led tours of historic homes in Utah for a few decades but it hasn't featured Federal Heights for a little over a decade now, which is another reason the organization is featuring it again Saturday. Last year's tour, which featured homes in Central City
ultimately drew in about 600 to 700 people
This year's tour will feature seven homes like last year
Friday) and $40 for nonmembers for the day of the event
Preservation Utah is offering a tour of two additional homes as a part of a new $100 "donor ticket."
People can pick up their tickets — or purchase them — at the organization's designated tour headquarters
— A pedestrian died after a driver who was allegedly speeding in Federal Heights drove onto the sidewalk and crashed into a tree on Sunday morning
The Federal Heights Police Department said around 10:41 a.m
multiple people called 911 to report a single-car crash at W
they found a deceased female in the road and a 1970s yellow Ford Mustang that had crashed into a tree
was critically injured and still inside the vehicle
police said they believe the driver of the Mustang was speeding eastbound when he lost control
struck the pedestrian and then crashed into the tree
The driver was transported to a hospital for his serious injuries
Neither the pedestrian nor the driver have been identified as of Monday morning
Investigators with the Federal Heights Police Department and the Thornton Police Traffic Division are investigating this crash

“The goal is to make Federal Boulevard safer for all,” said Debra Baskett
City of Westminster Senior Transportation and Mobility Planner
The Federal Boulevard Multimodal Transportation Study kicked off in 2020 to address safety challenges for all users
inconsistent pedestrian and bike facilities
limited connectivity to trails and destinations

and the volume and speed of vehicular traffic
“Federal Boulevard is a main transportation corridor for Federal Heights and the region,” said Tim Williams
Federal Heights Community Development Director
“It is critical to identify solutions to ensure that the corridor can meet projected increases in demand in ways that will benefit our residents
The study will finish later this year with a recommended set of multimodal infrastructure improvements as a long-term vision for Federal Boulevard

UPDATE | April 11 — The man who allegedly stabbed a woman to death in Federal Heights in late December has been apprehended in Mexico, according to the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office. Story here
– Charges have officially been filed against a man accused of the stabbing death of a 20-year-old woman on Saturday
The 17th Judicial District announced on Friday that 35-year-old Adian Carracedo-Vega faces a first degree murder charge in connection to the death of Sachely Diaz in Federal Heights
Investigators said the suspect is still at large
The Federal Heights Police Department said someone discovered Diaz injured and laying outside the Tuscan Heights Apartments at 1700 West 85th Avenue
Diaz was taken to North Suburban Hospital where she later died
Police believe Diaz and the suspect knew each other and continue to locate him
issuing a nationwide warrant and a $2 million cash bond
Investigators said it was possible the suspect was traveling to Texas in an attempt to cross the border into Mexico
is getting pedestrian infrastructure improvements between 23rd and 27th Avenues
The construction will begin next week and run through the fall of 2024
The project will upgrade pedestrian ramps; build concrete curb extensions to shorten crosswalk distances and slow down cars; add pedestrian crosswalk signals; and upgrade drainage to protect against flooding
According to the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure
another goal is to turn that section of the road "into a more pedestrian-friendly street with a narrowed and curved design to slow vehicle speeds..
install green infrastructure on this block to provide water quality and natural plantings to beautify and cool the environment."
The additions include a number of traffic safety elements advocates have regularly asked for to improve Denver's streets
But the upgrades will not address some of the biggest issues along that road
Traffic in both directions will be pushed to the west side of the road starting Tuesday through Dec. 1. Parts of the sidewalk will be closed temporarily throughout the project.

FEDERAL HEIGHTS, Colo. – The man accused of planting homemade bombs inside his trailer, then lighting it and a neighbor’s home on fire
faces three counts of attempted first-degree murder; one count of using explosives or an incendiary device; two counts of first-degree arson; one count of possession of explosives; two counts of menacing; one count of attempted aggravated cruelty to animals
and a sentencing enhancer for crime of violence
Truetken is accused of building several bombs and putting them across his trailer, then lighting it on fire before breaking out the neighbor’s home’s windows, spraying gasoline inside and lighting it on fire as well.
According to the affidavit for his arrest
Truetken tried to spray gas onto one of the children who was inside the home at the time
but missed and instead sprayed the family’s dog
he told police he wanted to commit “suicide by cop,” and that he had “significant medical issues” and was undergoing psychiatric care but had run out of medication
“Steven went on to say that he could no longer take care of himself and decided to carry out his plan today,” the officer wrote in the affidavit
The family was able to escape from their home without being harmed
and the teenage boy whom Truetken had allegedly tried to douse in gas snapped a photo of Truetken as he walked away to watch the flames
the affidavit says that Truetken told officers he intended “to pull the BB gun on the officers so that they would shoot him
but he was afraid that they would accidentally hurt his dog so he decided to give up.”
Court records obtained by Denver7 show Truetken has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1982. Records show he has been charged with burglary
traffic violations including DUI, third-degree assault
he pleaded guilty to a felony menacing with a weapon charge
A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb
Truetken remains held on a $1 million bond pending the next hearing

Colorado's second-highest court on Thursday reversed a woman's murder conviction in Adams County because the search warrant police used to uncover incriminating information from her cell phone was unconstitutional
after she poisoned him with the animal sedative acepromazine and buried him in concrete in their basement
Police obtained a warrant for Jennings' phone
"how long does it take for a body to decompose."
But a three-judge panel for the Court of Appeals believed the application to examine the cell phone violated the Fourth Amendment's requirement that any warrant describe "particularly" the place to be searched
Most problematic was a provision of the warrant that authorized a "full digital download" of the phone
"The warrant allowed an unlimited search of the data on Jennings’s phone," wrote Judge Lino S. Lipinsky de Orlov in the panel's April 13 opinion.
Authorities in Federal Heights applied for a cell phone search warrant in January 2018
Mussack had ceased contact with others the prior month and Jennings
offered a dubious explanation for his whereabouts
Officers first obtained a warrant to search the home
where they found Mussack's remains encased in concrete in a basement crawl space
The subsequent warrant for Jennings' phone authorized an extraction of its contents between December 2017 and January 2018
location data and a "full digital download" without a time limitation
The subsequent download revealed that Jennings' search history included acepromazine
the time required for a body to decompose and "how much blood is in the human body."
Jennings moved to exclude her search history as evidence
arguing police obtained it in violation of the Fourth Amendment's particularity requirement
Jennings did not dispute at trial that she played a role in her father's death
but she maintained she gave Mussack a low dose of acepromazine for therapeutic reasons
He allegedly died unexpectedly and she panicked
prosecutors pointed to Jennings' search history to show she acted with the intent required for a first-degree murder conviction
Jurors agreed with the government and convicted Jennings
Jennings again argued the search warrant was unconstitutional and Quick should have suppressed the evidence of her Internet searches
the full digital download was meant to be time-limited
police acted in good faith and they obtained the same information through later
the Colorado Attorney General's Office elaborated — even though prosecutors had not made that argument in the trial court
the appellate panel issued an order pausing Jennings' appeal and sending the case back to Quick to decide whether the cell phone data was still usable under the alternative argument the attorney general's office raised
"We agree with Jennings that the first warrant was overbroad
because the trial court did not consider whether any of the evidence obtained from Jennings’s phone was admissible pursuant to one or both of the exceptions
we remand the case for the trial court’s determination of whether either or both of the exceptions applies," wrote Lipinsky and Judges Terry Fox and Karl L
Jennings' lawyer quickly asked the panel to withdraw its ruling
has not authorized the Court of Appeals to avoid deciding a Fourth Amendment case by instead directing trial judges to consider an argument the prosecution never originally made
The attorney general's office agreed the panel violated procedural rules and
the appellate judges reversed course and issued an opinion concluding that
Quick had mistakenly found the search warrant complied with the Fourth Amendment
The panel did not consider whether evidence of Jennings' searches did not need to be excluded after all under the prosecution's newly-raised arguments
it left open the door to such arguments in Jennings' new trial
allow the parties to present additional evidence or arguments concerning whether an exception to the exclusionary rule applies," Lipinsky wrote
A federal judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss an excessive force claim against an Aurora police officer for shooting a gun-wielding man

Preservation Utah will host its annual Historic Homes Tour in the neighborhood Saturday
lime kilns and slaughterhouses blossomed into one of Salt Lake City’s ritziest neighborhoods
and those who are willing to lace up their walking shoes will have a chance to take a closer look this weekend
Preservation Utah is hosting its 52nd Annual Historic Homes Tour in Federal Heights on Saturday
offering attendees the chance to peek inside several homes in the neighborhood
Historian Bim Oliver said the east-side neighborhood near the University of Utah highlights a diversity of architectural styles that reflect the development of Utah’s capital in the early 1900s
“Those folks who go on the tour,” Oliver said
“will kind of get to see a good representation of: What did Salt Lake City look like for the well-to-do in the early 20th century?”
Federal Heights was sort of an industrial park
Salt Lake City had grown to the point that the land became more valuable for homes
What is now thought of as a single neighborhood was historically broken into upper and lower sections that were both developed in the early 1900s
The Lower Heights were bounded by Virginia Street to the west
The Upper Heights — bounded by Virginia Street to the west
to the east and 2nd Avenue to the south — will be the focus of most of Saturday’s tour
Oliver said the nonprofit is hosting the tour
to bring attention to an area of the city that is experiencing a loss of historic character due to frequent demolitions
developers of both subdivisions created strict limits on what could be built in the neighborhood
their neighborhood would give way to fraternity houses and apartments
so they petitioned the city to create a unified Federal Heights zoning district
Attendees of Saturday’s tour will have access to at least seven houses
including one owned by Amanda and AJ Secrist
and original solid wood doors that are so heavy
“We feel quite privileged to live in our house,” Amanda Secrist said
Traditional nonmember tickets cost $30 in advance and feature seven homes
Donor tickets cost $100 and feature an additional two homes
Preservation Utah members will be able to buy tickets for $25
Tickets must be picked up at the tour headquarters
