A large, curious crowd had preceded us to the crime scene, but apparently not by long. Uniformed Boulder police officers hadn't finished stretching yellow crime scene control tape around a base perimeter of an area that seemed to be at least a couple of acres in size. An ambulance was on the scene along with a half a dozen patrol cars, two crime scene vans, and a couple of civilian-looking late-model sedans and wagons.
