#14: The Truckee Street Murders - A Fatal Mistake at 2:40 A.M.
Update: 2025-05-31
Description
Five lives lost in the dead of night. What looked like a targeted act was only the beginning of the real horror.
In August 2020, a fire tore through a home on Truckee Street in Denver’s Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, killing five members of a Senegalese-American family, including two young children. Investigators quickly suspected arson—and soon, disturbing evidence began to surface: surveillance footage of masked figures fleeing the scene, a gas can, and signs of a fire set with intent.
But as detectives pieced together the timeline and evidence, a deeper question emerged: why this house?
This episode examines the early stages of the investigation into one of Denver’s most tragic and complex arson cases, following the work of homicide detectives Neil Baker and Ernest Sandoval as they confront a crime that shocked a city—and may not have been what it first appeared to be.
