History
In 1997, the owners of The Aspen Times founded the Glenwood Springs Independent. Both papers were sold in 1999 to Swift Communications.[4] A year later the company purchased the Glenwood Springs Post from Morris Communications and merged it with the Independent to form the Glenwood Springs Post Independent.[5]
In 2017, Post Independent staffers found photo negatives featuring the notorious American serial killer Ted Bundy that were kept in an old safe at their Glenwood Springs office since the 1970s.[6][7] The negatives show Bundy at the Garfield county jail, and scenes from the search for him after he escaped from both the Pitkin and Garfield county jails.
