The Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office on Friday filed a motion to unseal court documents in the case of a Highlands Ranch man accused in the 2012 death of his second wife and being investigated in the 1995 death of his first wife.
Those documents include search and seizure warrants and could offer details into the case against Harold Henthorn, 58, who is being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of Toni Henthorn, 50.
Prosecutors allege that Toni Henthorn was pushed off a 140-foot cliff by her husband on Sept. 29, 2012 at Rocky Mountain National Park.
Henthorn was on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of his second wife. The Post found Toni Henthorn, an esteemed ophthalmologist, .
showed federal agents conducted electronic and photographic surveillance on Harold Henthorn as they investigated him in connection with his second wife’s death.
Federal officials disclosed the surveillance, which was first reported by CBS4, in a discovery conference memorandum and order reviewed by The Denver Post on Thursday.
A federal prosecutor also said officials believe Harold Henthorn killed his first wife, Sandra Henthorn, 37, in 1995.
Sandra Henthorn was killed after a car slipped off a jack while she and Harold Henthorn were changing a flat tire near Sedalia on Colorado 67.
Both of Henthorn’s wives died in remote wilderness areas without witnesses. A federal judge noted the “similarities” in the women’s deaths.
