1987 cold case murder solved, linked to ‘one of Colorado’s most prolific serial killers’

Law enforcement officials in Colorado recently announced the resolution of the 1987 murder of Rhonda Marie Fisher, a case that remained a mystery for nearly four decades. Through advanced DNA testing and forensic analysis, investigators successfully linked the crime to Vincent Darrell Groves, an individual recognized as one of the state's most frequent serial offenders. Although the suspect died in prison in 1996 while serving time for other killings, this discovery provides definitive answers regarding his responsibility for at least twelve separate homicides. The breakthrough occurred after specialists re-examined evidence from the original crime scene, specifically matching genetic material found on paper bags to the deceased killer. This development offers a sense of closure to the victim’s family and highlights the persistence of cold case units in seeking justice regardless of how much time has passed. The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that this achievement reflects a commitment to identifying violent predators who targeted vulnerable women during the late twentieth century.
