PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said that it is making progress on identifying the bodies found at the Davis Mortuary in Pueblo.
In a news release on Tuesday, the CBI said that with the help of the El Paso and Fremont County Coroner's Offices, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, they have been able to positively identify four of the 24 bodies found at the mortuary.
The identities of these individuals and the families who have been notified will not be released to the public, according to the CBI. If you or your family was a victim of this and would like to speak to our newsroom, please feel free to send us an email.
According to the CBI, this is still an active criminal investigation, and so far no charges have been filed against the former Pueblo County Coroner Brian Cotter and his brother, Chris Cotter after a investigation was opened in August of 2025 after inspectors from Department of Local Affairs discovered decomposing bodies behind hidden door in the mortuary.
Cotter resigned from his role as the Pueblo County Coroner on September 2, 2025. Check out our in-depth coverage below.
