Community asked to help solve the murder of Joseph Peters, found in rural Weld County
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office is appealing to the Northern Colorado community for new leads in the unsolved 2012 homicide of Joseph Peters. Thirteen years ago today, Peters’ body was discovered wrapped in a tarp in an irrigation ditch near Interstate 76 and Weld County Road 12.5.
Peters, who was attempting to launch a medicinal marijuana business, was last known to have been in the Denver and Brighton areas before he was fatally shot. His body was found on May 16, 2012, by employees of the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company.
Weld County authorities continue to pursue justice in the case and are urging anyone with information—no matter how small—to come forward.
