Too much murder in that town!, Thank God they got Joe there

No kidding. Just last week it was Robert Dear at Planned Parenthood and last month Noah Harpham killed 3 people in a shooting rampage.

lol I've lived here most of my life and I'm shocked at the fact they were able to make a series out of this because it's a very safe town. I do love the show, though.

You are so right. Colorado Springs isn't a cesspool. People forget that Homicide Hunter covers Joe Kenda's entire career. He was a cop for over 20 years. And every major city (yes, Colorado Springs is a city, not a small town) has their share of murders. But our homicide rate compared to Denver's is very low. Unfortunate that we got a freak shouting up a Planned Parenthood which makes us look terrible. If it had been a different kind of medical clinic, it wouldn't have made national news.

Many of the cases are also domestic and not stranger related crimes.

That was over 16 murders a year. Strikes me as a lot for a small city in Colorado.

Obviously, it depends on which part of town one lives in. Kind of like Chicago, or any other city.
