Adolph Coors disappears while driving to work from his Morrison, Colorado, home. The grandson of the Coors’ founder and chairman of the Golden, Colorado, brewery was kidnapped and held for ransom before being shot to death. Surrounding evidence launched one of the FBI’s largest manhunts: the search for Joe Corbett.
Corbett, a Fulbright scholar at the University of Oregon, was headed to medical school when, in 1951, he got into an altercation with an Air Force sergeant. During the fight, he shot the man and ended up pleading guilty to second-degree murder. He was sent to San Quentin Prison for several years before being transferred to a minimum-security facility, where he easily escaped and began living under an alias, Walter Osborne.
Eight days after Coors was kidnapped, a car was found on fire in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The gasoline-fueled fire had been deliberately set, but it couldn’t destroy the serial number imprinted on the engine. The car was traced back to Corbett, whose yellow Mercury had been spotted by many witnesses in the area of the crime in the days leading up to the abduction. Dirt from the car was ultimately traced back to the area where Coors was grabbed and taken hostage.
Seven months after the abduction of Adolph Coors in 1960, the millionaire’s clothes were found in a dump near Sedalia, Colorado. This evidence led to the discovery of Coors’ remains nearby. A ransom letter was traced back to Joe Corbett’s typewriter. He had also ordered handcuffs, leg irons, and a gun through the mail in the months preceding the kidnapping. The FBI distributed 1.5 million posters with Corbett’s picture and then tracked him all the way across Canada, from Toronto to Vancouver, where he was finally apprehended.
Corbett never testified at his trial and never made any statement, but the evidence was enough to convince the jury who convicted him in 1961. He was released in 1978 and died in 2009.

Corbett, a Fulbright scholar … and there’s your first red flag denoting a Deep Shekels hit.
In 1996 Corbett gave his only interview following his release from prison. He maintained his innocence.
Then, 2009 he put a bullet through his own head.
He was in “San Quentin” for a few years — allegedly — which indicates (in spook-speak) that he was being conditioned/trained for his upcoming role, like Charlie Manson (and other CIA agents such as Eldridge Cleaver) would be later. A true Red flag, as in Communist red.
Also, seeing that the Air Force is involved here, just like with Jan 6th, is not only a red flag, it’s a 100-ft. Ensign flying on top of the Bird’s Nest of an aircraft carrier.
Then, there are always the escapes with these guys. Because that happens all the time, of course — in an un-happening, not-happening-at-all kind of way. Nobody gets out of jail without help. This script was written back in the early FBI days, when they were chasing around Clyde Barrow.
Of course Corbett was innocent; he played his part for his “country;” but because dead men don’t talk, especially on their death beds (as is custom), he shot himself in the back of the head, tragically.
Was going to become a doctor, eh? Just think how many potential patients were saved from this asshole by one single life event. He obviously held the sanctity of life in the lowest of regard or he wouldn’t have murdered the airman.
Not overly bright, either. He should have pushed the car into a lake somewhere. Out of sight, out of mind. At least make them work for it.
The scariest part is that for every one of these psychos we weed out, a hundred more are slipping through the cracks. We only catch the most inept of them. The more capable ones know how not to get caught or take blame. You hear about them occasionally…”nursing home worker kills 75 -100 patients before being caught”. And it isn’t just POCs, either.
