In the 1950s and '60s, the Coors dynasty reigned over Golden, Colorado, seemingly invincible. When rumblings about labor unions threatened to destabilize the family's brewery, Adolph Coors, Jr., the septuagenarian president of the company, drew a hard line, refusing to budge. They had worked hard for what they had, and no one had a right to take it from them. What they'd soon realize was that they had more to lose than they could have imagined. On the morning of Tuesday, February 9, 1960, Adolph "Ad" Coors III, the 44-year-old CEO of the multimillion-dollar Colorado beer empire, stepped into his car and headed for the brewery twelve miles away. At a bridge he stopped to help a man in a yellow Mercury sedan. On the back seat lay handcuffs and leg irons. The glove box held a ransom note ready to be mailed. His coat pocket shielded a loaded pistol. What happened next set off the largest manhunt in the United States since the Lindbergh kidnapping. State and local authorities, along with an FBI investigation personally spearheaded by its director, J. Edgar Hoover, burst into action attempting to locate Ad and his kidnapper. The dragnet spanned a continent. All the while, Ad's grief-stricken wife and children waited, tormented by the unrelenting silence. The Death of an Heir reveals the true story behind the tragic murder of Colorado's favorite son."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Jett Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Je Lost 12/26/2019 Add Copy to MyList
