On September 10, 2023, Gallenstein was killed on the Foothills Trail at Reservoir Ridge. In the months since, his face has become a familiar sight on billboards across Larimer County. Organized by his family, the displays are a reminder that the case remains unsolved.

To his loved ones, Paul was much more than a photo on a billboard. He was a best friend, a devoted husband, a beloved brother, an avid fly fisherman, and a travel companion. His sudden loss continues to weigh heavily on those who knew him.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office reports that investigators have pursued every lead, but no arrest has been made. Authorities emphasize that anniversaries may pass, but for families impacted by unsolved cases, the grief and unanswered questions persist daily.
