Colorado serial killer on FBI’s payroll

At first it seemed like they had simply vanished. Three Denver area women, all young, all with an independent streak. At first their families thought little of it, until the evidence started to mount that something was seriously wrong.

Bob and Noelle Marcum, living in Springfield Illinois began to worry about their daughter Jennifer in 2003, when she didn’t return their calls. Then one day, almost a year later, the FBI called, saying something bad had happened.

The Marcums kept asking questions, until the FBI set up a meeting with a mysterious man, who supposedly knew what happened to Jennifer. His name was Scott Kimball. And, after meeting him, the Marcums decided he was the one who had killed their daughter.

In Wheat Ridge Colorado, Rob McLeod was worried because his daughter Kaysi ran away. Kaysi was living with her mother Lori McLeod, Rob’s ex-wife. When Kaysi never came back home, Rob McLeod had friends run a background check on everyone in Kaysi’s life. He got a hit — Lori McLeod’s new husband had a lengthy criminal history, his name was Scott Kimball.

In Centennial, Howard Emery was worried because his daughter, LeAnne went missing on a caving trip to Mexico. LeAnne had a boyfriend in prison, who was sure he knew what happened: LeAnne was mixed up with a dangerous man who went by Hannibal. His real name was Scott Kimball.

In 2006, the Marcums were featured in an article in the Denver paper Westword, and mentioned the name Scott Kimball. Rob McLeod read the article and realized the cases were all linked.
