Default Colorado Cop Killer body found!

The cops have discovered the body of Jason McVean, who was the last of the 3 colorado cop killers who were on UM some years ago. I knew they found the bodies of the other 2 guys and I figured this guy was dead as well, just a matter of finding the body.

Im glad this one can be officially closed.

Someone posted a message about this latest development. But at the time, it had not yet been confirmed that the remains were that of McVean.

Here is a link to an article that confirms the identity of the remains.

http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/225066/3

Even with all three of those thugs (Alan Pilon, Robert Mason, and Jason McVean) now confirmed dead, there are still some unanswered questions, as well as theories about the actual motive for the killing of Officer Dale Claxton. But I guess what matters now is that the search for Jason McVean is over. He is no longer a danger to us, and probably died not long after the deadly attack against the police in 1998. In any case, good riddance to him.

do you think they all committed suicide?!?

I think 2 out of 3 did, the one guy died shortly after the shooting happened. I think he might of been hit by gun fire from the police and he died from the gun shot wound.

That would be me. I just checked the local news site and there was nothing new. Things are slow in ABQ.

In regards to suicide, I remember reading in other articles before the DNA results were back that the skull appeared to be in bad shape. Not intact. Fitting a scenario of a self inflicted gun shot to the head. I wonder why they would all commit suicide?

I doubt this brings absolute closure to the families affected. While they do know for sure that these men are dead and rotting away on the other side, it does not answer the question of why. Also these men took the cowardly way out rather than facing justice.

Had they faced justice, I think one or two of them (if not all three of them) would have been sent to the death house. Killing a police officer is most likely a capital offense in Colorado, since Colorado has the death penalty.

Just like any other cop killer, Pilon, Mason, and McVean were all rabid animals that had to be put to sleep. But I guess none of them wanted to be offed by the state, so they offed themselves.

Am I the only one that thought the police had something to do with their deaths? I know that cop killers aren't too highly regarded among the boys in blue...

The fact that all three men died "suddenly..." anyone else smell conspiracy?

Where's Kane7474? He'll back me up on this one...

Well it wouldnt surprise me if the cops killed these guys. As CRicci said cop killers arent looked upon too fondly b y anyone but especially not by the boys in blue. I just have a hard time believing that all these guys committed suicide. It just seems like a stretch.

A similar case, in a sense, is on CD´s volume 7. The case is about the murder of Canadian police officer Scott Rossiter who got into an altercation with a bicyclist named David O´Neil. O´Neil shot the officer in the head and stole his weapon. Later, an anonymous tip led authorities to a shallow grave containing O´Neil´s body. He had been shot more than 10 times. That Update ends stating that authorities considered this case closed. I have always wondered if the cops murdered David O´Neil and considered their actions as some kind of "poetic justice". I think, it is also possible that the police murdered the "Colorado Cop Killers", or maybe they committed suicide, but it is an interesting possibility nonetheless.

Well, I have a problem with this theory: if the cops killed these thugs, then why did it take them so long to recover the remains of Alan Pilon and Jason McVean (17 months and nine years, respectively)? Regardless of how these lowlifes actually died, why bother covering up the general fact that they are dead? It makes no sense to me.

So no, I don't sense any conspiracy. But even if the cops did kill Robert Mason, Alan Pilon, and/or Jason McVean, chances are it wasn't murder. Instead, it was an eye for an eye.

Oh by the way, speaking of conspiracy, where's Oliver Stone? Maybe he or some other like-minded Hollywood elitist would be interested in doing a movie about this case. Besides, he's never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like.

True. A lot of today's Hollywood filmmakers and actors are opportunists. The joke that I made about Oliver Stone is an example of that.

I jokingly (and sarcastically) suggested the idea that he could do a movie about the Colorado cop killers because of the conspiracy topic discussed here. Maybe Stone would design the story as a smear campaign against Officer Claxton, villianizing him and making heroes out of Mason, Pilon, and McVean. But if, God forbid, such a film were to be made, I certainly wouldn't waste my time and money on it.
