(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is looking for answers in the homicides of Annabelle Leonard and Thomas Leonard who were killed 20 years ago in 2003.

According to CSPD, on March 16, 2003, at around 1:22 a.m., the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) was called to 3834 Constitution Avenue about a report of smoke emanating from the home.

Police said their investigation showed that both Annabelle and Thomas Leonard died due to stab wounds and that it appeared the fire was started to cover up the murders.

CSPD also found the townhouse seemed to have been ransacked, drawers were pulled out and contents were dumped on the floor.
