The search continues for the murderers of a 17-year-old girl who was found dead in the shell of her burnt-out home in Bailey seven years ago, according to state investigators.
Tipsters with information critical to the case or information leading to an arrest in Maggie Long’s death are still eligible for up to a $75,000 reward from state and federal authorities.
Maggie was supposed to go to a concert at Platte Valley High School on Dec. 1, 2017, but never showed up, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Local authorities said she was purposefully set on fire and burned alive in her family’s mountain community home.
“We believe someone knows something that could help solve this case and bring a measure of justice to Maggie’s family and the Bailey community,” Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw said in a news release. “It could take just one person to help our investigation and we are determined to bring a resolution to one of Colorado’s most high-profile cold cases.”
In a 911 call on the night of Maggie’s death, someone told Park County sheriff’s dispatchers that people were inside her home and causing damage.
Federal investigators, who are investigating the Asian American teenager’s death as a hate crime, said the 17-year-old went home to grab supplies for the concert and got into a fight with the people inside before the fire started.
Several items, including guns, a safe and jade figurines were stolen from the home on the night of Maggie’s death, federal investigators said.
