It’s been 24 years since the so-called “Subway murders” in Jefferson County where two high school sweethearts were shot to death. Now the reward in the case has been increased up to $100,000.
It was Valentine’s Day in 2000 when Nicholas “Nick” Kunselman and his girlfriend Stephanie Hart-Grizzell were shot and killed in a Subway restaurant near Columbine High School. The couple was found murdered about 12:47 a.m. in the Subway at 6768 West Coal Mine Avenue in Littleton after an employee drove past the restaurant and noticed the lights still on inside.
When the employee went inside, that’s when the bodies of Stephanie, 16, and Nick, 15, were found behind the counter. Investigators determined the couple had been shot by an unknown intruder or intruders. Nick was an employee of Subway and Stephanie was at the restaurant waiting for him to get off work.
