Historical Murders: Prisoner 15495, The Story of Farice King

Colored Red

On November 22, 1928, Eddie Ives was cornered under a bed in a local party house. He shot wildly from under the bed, killing one officer and wounding another officer named Bob Evans in addition to the owner of the home. As Bob Evans recovered in Denver General, a nurse named Farice King approached his bedside and shot him through the head. She then got into bed next to him and shot herself in the chest. But instead of dying next to Bob, Farice lived to tell the tragic tale of their love.
