A 35-year-old murder case will go to trial in Arapahoe County after a judge denied a request Wednesday to dismiss the case.
Arapahoe County District Judge Valeria Spencer ruled there is sufficient evidence still available to try Duane Frye, now 82, for the murder of his wife, Elizabeth Frye, on June 9, 1973. Frye, who is in failing health, will be arraigned next month.
The case, which involves a number of prominent players in Denver’s legal community, was the subject of a popular book, “Quiet Time,” written in 2004 by Stephanie Shaffer Kane, who was engaged to the Fryes’ son, Douglas, at the time of the murder and is now married to U.S. District Senior Judge John Kane.
