COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Authorities have identified the two people found dead in a home burned in the most destructive fire in Colorado history.
Colorado Springs police said Thursday that coroner’s officials have identified the victims as 74-year-old William Everett and his 73-year-old wife, Barbara Everett.
The two died in the Waldo Canyon fire, which has burned about 28 square miles and has damaged or destroyed almost 350 homes. Fire managers hope to have it fully contained Friday.
Meanwhile in Larimer County, authorities plan to try to use DNA evidence to officially identify a woman found dead during the High Park wildfire. Investigators believe rancher Linda Steadman was the person found dead inside her cabin but want to verify that with more evidence before closing the case.
