The search continues for the killers of a 17-year-old girl found dead in the rubble of her burned-out Bailey home seven years ago, state investigators said.
Tipsters with information crucial to the case or information leading to an arrest in Maggie Long’s death are still eligible for a reward of up to $75,000 from state and federal authorities.
Maggie was scheduled to attend a concert at Platte Valley High School on Dec. 1, 2017, but never showed up, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said. Local authorities said she was deliberately set on fire and burned alive at her family’s home in the mountain community.
“We believe someone knows something that can help solve this case and bring some measure of justice to Maggie’s family and the Bailey community,” Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw said in a news release. “It can only take one person to help our investigation and we are committed to finding a solution to one of Colorado’s most high-profile cold cases.”
In a 911 call the night of Maggie’s death, someone told Park County sheriff’s dispatchers that people were in her home and causing damage.
Federal investigators, who are investigating the Asian American teen’s death as a hate crime, said the 17-year-old went home to get supplies for the concert and got into an argument with the people inside before the fire broke out.
Several items, including weapons, a safe and jade figurines, were stolen from the house on the night of Maggie’s death. federal investigators said.
Her death was ruled a homicide by the county coroner, and authorities later released composite sketches of at least three men they believed were involved in her death. No arrests have been made.
