On the night of December 1, 2017, Maggie Long, a 17 year old high school student, was found dead in her family’s rural Bailey, Colorado home, which had been burglarized and set on fire. Investigators later determined that Maggie had been physically assaulted then lit on fire while she was still alive. It’s been just over six years since Maggie was brutally murdered, and investigators are still searching for the people responsible…

On December 1, 2017, almost 18 year old Maggie Long was found murdered in her burned home, located in the 3700 block of County Road 43 in Bailey, Colorado. She had been physically assaulted then set on fire while she was still alive. An AK47, a 9mm Beretta, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, jade figurines, and a large green safe with a combination dial and handle were stolen from the Long home. There are three to four unidentified suspects in this case. They were driving a white Chevy Astro-type work van, an early-90s Ford Aerostar van, and a late-80s Ford F-150.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Maggie Long Task Force tip line at (303) 239-4243. A $75,000 reward is still available.
