Corbett was convicted of shooting a man in the back of the head in 1951. He claimed it was self-defense. Corbett was placed in a maximum-security prison and due to good behavior, he was later transferred to minimum security, from which he then escaped.[3]

On the morning of February 9, 1960, Adolph Coors III, the 44-year-old CEO and chairman of the board of the Coors brewery, left his house for work, but never arrived.[3] A delivery man found Coors' station wagon abandoned, and blood droplets were found nearby.[3] Corbett was implicated, and the FBI began a manhunt that spanned from California to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and eventually to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] In March 1960, the FBI added Corbett to its Ten Most Wanted list.[3]

On September 11, 1960, Coors' remains were found in a trash dump, with two bullet wounds in his back.[3]

Corbett was finally arrested October 29, 1960 in Vancouver by Canadian police after the Vancouver police recognized his car parked outside a motor inn. Since the kidnap and murder occurred in Colorado, the state charged Corbett with murder.[4]

On March 29, 1961, Corbett was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.[4] He was paroled and released from prison on December 12, 1980.[1]

In 1996 Corbett gave his only interview following his release from prison; in it, he maintained his innocence.[1] [5]

Corbett committed suicide on August 24, 2009.[6][7]
