COLD CASE: 3 DEAD IN TRANSIENT HOTEL ARSON

This is Ernest Peterson. Early on Aug. 12, 1980, an arson fire killed Peterson, John F. Simmons and Thaddeus Hosey, guests at the old Jefferson Hotel at 1529 Champa St. in downtown Denver. The three-story hotel, primarily for transients, was engulfed in flames. Firefighters found Peterson and the others after the fire was out. At least two people were hurt. The hotel closed, however, the brick structure still stands. Denver Cold Case #80-605902.
