By September 1960, the remains of Adolph Coors were found near Pike's Peak. Apparently, he had been shot during the abduction. In October 1960, Corbett was arrested by Canadian police in Vancouver, BC. He was convicted in 1961 and sentenced to life in prison. He was paroled in 1978.

Seventeen years for kidnap & murder? Sad.
Pat,
I've known guys who got more time for drug offenses. Hell, you'd think the kidnapping alone would be worth 17 years.
People who kidnap and murder should never be paroled! That's awful!
Linda,
I was surprised to read that he didn't get the death penalty, especially considering who he murdered.
