STP Family ft. Deputy Dawg 1970 Boulder, CO. Medicine Ball Caravan

Deputy Dawg was a member of the STP family, a notorious group of hippie extremists who settled in Boulder, CO., in the late 1960s. These flower children were known less for peace and love and more for drugs and mayhem.

They quickly made a name for themselves in the town of Nederland, CO., where they were known to terrorize the locals, aggressively panhandle and cause mayhem in public places.

One member named Deputy Dawg (real name: Guy Howard Goughnor) had been arrested at least a dozen times in the area by the time he vanished on July 17 1971.

His body wouldn't turn up for weeks.

When it finally did, it would kick off a decades-long investigation that would finally end with a near death bed confession by the former Marshal.

But the plot doesn't end there, one of Deputy Dawg's former STP family members never forgot his murder and would wait 45 years to try and get revenge. https://www.twosleuthspodcast.com/post/the-murder-of-deputy-dawg-and-the-friend-who-never-forgot
