    In this episode of @ColoradoCrimePod, we delve into the twisted story of Joe Michael Ervin, a man whose brutal crimes haunted Colorado for decades. Starting with his early years in Texas and moving to his violent reign of terror in Colorado, Ervin’s story is one of evasion and escalation. He managed to slip through the cracks of the justice system, leaving behind a tragic trail of victims whose cases would remain unsolved for over 40 years.

Join us as we explore how science, persistence, and a bit of DNA helped unravel the horrifying truth behind Ervin’s crimes. Tune in to discover how one man hid in plain sight and how the secrets he left behind finally caught up with him, thanks to the power of genetic genealogy.   The crimes that we discuss are graphic and may be difficult for some listeners.
