John Angerer, 53, of Anchorage was indicted in February by a Boulder County grand jury on one count of second-degree murder in the 2006 death of Angela Wilds, 38.
Wilds’ decomposing body was found June 4, 2006, by two hikers in the South St. Vrain Canyon, roughly 3 miles outside of Lyons.
The body remained unidentified for months until DNA analysis confirmed it was Wilds five months later. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office was ultimately unable to rule on a cause or manner of death, though an outside forensic pathologist brought in by prosecutors opined that Wilds died of homicide by asphyxiation.
But a judge ruled that there was not enough evidence for the case to proceed past a preliminary hearing, andBut according to the release, “an individual can be re-arrested and prosecuted if significant, new evidence is developed that supports a renewed prosecution,” and continued investigation into the cold case developed “significant and new evidence.”
