Next on 7 News at 10, a murder suspect has been on the run for three days.
Tonight, the manhunt is over.
And the Oscar nominations are in.
We'll run down the list.
This is 7 News at 10.
The memorial continues to grow outside a Subway sandwich shop for two slain Columbine students.
But tonight, there are few clues in the double murder.
Good evening, I'm Mitch Jelniker.
And I'm Andrew Hio.
Tonight, police are saying little about the case.
Investigators are still searching for a suspect and a motive in the Subway murders.
15-year-old Nicholas Kuntzelman and his girlfriend, 16-year-old Stephanie Hart, were found early
Monday morning in the sandwich shop, shot to death.
7 News reporter Lance Hernandez is back at the crime scene tonight with the latest.
Lance?
Investigators, Ann, were back out here for a second day looking for clues.
And they're not saying much about what, if anything, they found in here.
They weren't the only ones here.
There were a number of people who came by to try to express their sympathy.
The only way they know how, they're leaving cards, letters, and a number of flowers growing
on this little strip of land here between Columbine Avenue and the parking lot.
And those crosses you saw just a few minutes ago, one for each of the victims on his cross,
it says met in life.
On her cross, it says bonded in heaven.
Now, here's what we do know about the case so far.
Today, authorities confirmed that the crime was not captured on the sandwich shop's surveillance
camera.
Autopsies have been performed on both victims.
The Jefferson County coroner, though, is not disclosing the results.
The families aren't talking yet.
They're very emotional right now.
But a spokesperson says that they will hold one funeral ceremony for both victims, that
both victims will be buried together.
Now, the funeral will be held at Trinity Church in Littleton at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Now, 7 News spoke with a number of past and present employees of the submarine shop.
They said that they're not aware that anybody has been disgruntled, any of the past employees
that anybody would have an agenda here.
There were a number of those employees, though, that mentioned that the back door to the sub
shop has remained open on a number of occasions because of the heat generated by the ovens
inside there.
So they left the back door open to kind of cool things off.
We're not sure, and authorities aren't saying if that back door was found open when they
found the victims inside and if the gunman may have come in the back door.
Back to you, Ann?
A lot of questions.
Thank you, Lance.
There are.
I'll answer a question, why was a 15-year-old boy left to close that subway store?
It's a question that federal and state authorities may investigate in the days ahead.
7 News anchor Steve Saunders has been looking into the law and why so many teens are now
in the job market, even working odd in some would say dangerous hours.
Yeah, at times it can be very dangerous.
Well, clearly teens want the money.
It's also a very good experience.
And in this very tight job market, teens are definitely in demand.
Now, if you are 16 or over, you can legally work up to 40 hours a week on just about any
shift.
But if you are 14 or 15, the laws are very different.
Kids probably, they want money, so they work hours.
And places close later, people need food.
And even though it's dark and the money can make them targets, as a whole teenagers are
a pretty fearless group.
I'm not going to stop working late hours just because it happens, you know.
Stuff like this does happen.
These are exactly the type of things that the child labor laws were designed to prevent.
Peter Mearsman is the president of the Colorado Restaurant Association.
He says that a 15-year-old Nicholas Consulman was in fact left to close that subway store
on Sunday night.
It is inexcusable.
The child labor laws were established to protect children.
And clearly a 15-year-old is still a child.
Colorado law is very specific about child labor.
14 and 15-year-olds can work no more than six hours a day and no later than 9.30 if
the next day is a school day.
Federal laws are even more stringent and apply to all companies that gross half a million
dollars a year or deal in interstate commerce, which even includes a business that accepts
credit cards.
The feds say 14 and 15-year-olds can work no more than three hours on a school day and
no later than 7 p.m., 9 p.m. in the summer.
Mearsman says not only is it the law, but it makes good business sense.
I mean, closing is a very important duty, and it's not something that just should be
left to whoever the last person in the establishment.
Counselors say it's up to parents to monitor their children's work habits.
And the parents should be questioning an employer when kids are being scheduled to work late
hours.
Now, because of this incident, the Colorado Restaurant Association is holding a seminar
on March 4th to provide employees with the latest information on keeping their employees
safe, and also to remind them just what the laws are.
Now, the Association says this tight job market is absolutely no excuse for ignoring these
laws.
Now, Steve, what is Subway saying tonight about these possible labor law violations?
Well, now, Subway has issued a release in which they say that for all of their franchises,
they make it very clear to them what the federal laws are, also make it very clear to them
that they are expected to be up to date on what individual state laws are as well.
So that's the position from Subway tonight.
Okay, interesting.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Tonight, Wyoming authorities capture a man wanted for a deadly shooting rampage.
31-year-old Charles Moses, Jr. has been the subject of a massive manhunt.
Police say he shot and wounded two Nebraska state troopers last weekend.
Police say Moses also shot and killed a farmer near Paxton, Nebraska last night.
Well, this afternoon, Moses led police on a high-speed chase through eastern Wyoming,
ditching his car north of the town of Lusk.
Just in the last hour, officers arrested Moses after he tried to break into a nearby farmhouse.
Police say the farm owners subdued and disarmed Moses before they arrived.
Tonight, President Clinton is getting involved in the fight on cybercrime.
A handful of big-name websites, including Yahoo, Amazon.com, and E-Trade, were hit by
hackers last week.
Today, the president met with computer experts to talk about tightening security on the Internet.
I don't think we should leave here with this vast sense of insecurity.
We ought to leave here with a sense of confidence that this is a challenge that was entirely
predictable.
It's part of the price of the success of the Internet, and we're all determined to work
together to meet it.
Tonight, investigators are looking for two alleged hackers called Coolio and Mafia Boy.
Investigators say the two may know something about the cyberattacks, but neither is being
called a suspect.
Denver's Mayor Webb wants you to stand up and be counted in the 2000 census.
This vehicle will be traveling around the state in an effort to count every Coloradan.
The census is critical to making sure we get our fair share from the feds.
We get federal funds based upon our population.
If there's an undercount of how many people actually live in Denver, then we don't receive
the amount of money that we're entitled to.
The money is used in hospitals, schools, and roads, and social programs.
The information helps determine congressional representation.
Estimates are about 70,000 Coloradans were missed in the last census.
You can also make money on the census.
Part-time workers are needed for about $12 an hour.

Bad hair day across Colorado, and you can blame today's windy weather.
Marty, we're just from Weather Center 7 with all the bluster details, and hopefully these
winds have died down finally.
Yes, they are mits like you'd know anything about a bad hair day.
Really, a very windy day across the state, not just the Front Range.
In fact, the eastern plains of Colorado, the wind kicked up the dust, and just about anything
else it could pick up today.
On I-76 today, just a massive dust storm, one of the byproducts of the very dry winter
we have had in northeastern Colorado, losing a lot of soil out there this afternoon.
Wind gusts along the Front Range from 30 to 50 miles an hour on the plains, and many times,
those winds were consistently blowing at those levels.
Tomorrow, how about 5 to 15 miles an hour?
We'll have partly cloudy skies in the morning, increasing clouds in the afternoon, and I
will be bringing snow back into Denver's forecast during the 7-day.
We'll talk about that in a minute.
Okay.
You gonna get back at him now?
Oh, you just wait.
I'll get you.
Thanks, Marty.

I love this music, it's fabulous.
Denver talking about Cozy 101.
Cozy plays my kind of music.
There's just no expressing it.
It's a lot of fun.
I love the music on Cozy.
Shania Twain, Sweetwood Mac.
The music on Cozy 101 is great.
Cozy 101, that's my favorite.

They're bringing down the mountainside along Highway 285 near Conifer.
Sea-Dot crews blasted a rocky ridge near Windy Point today as part of the 285 widening project.
Bulldozers finished off the job pushing even more boulders over the cliff.
285 is being expanded to a four-lane highway along this stretch.
The city sealed the deal for new development at the old Stapleton International Airport.
The land has been sold to Forest City Enterprises.
The $123.4 million deal will transform the old airport into one of the nation's largest
urban communities, complete with new housing, new jobs, and open space areas.
Progress on the first phase, including 1,100 homes and 900 apartment units, is expected
by the year 23.
As it develops, Stapleton will be copying a lot of what's going on at the former Lowry
Air Force Base, and Stapleton will be happy if its development is as successful as Lowry.
In just six years, there are now as many people living at Lowry as there were military personnel
living there during its heyday.
There just seems to be an incredible demand for new homes close to the core city.
The commute has just become miserable.
My wife works downtown, so we're looking to move back into the city.
Our work is closer.
I work right down Alameda.
My husband works at US West.
And our commute has cut about $110 off our budget a month, and that's conservative.
Both Stapleton and Lowry are hoping to develop enough opportunities there that residents
can do all the living and working and playing in one spot.
From our Northern Bureau tonight, Fort Morgan high school students went back to school this
morning, but they went back to a different building.
The students are sharing the middle school until the end of the year because their school
is closed.
Tests found high levels of asbestos in the high school building earlier this month, so
the state health department shut it down.
To make sharing the middle school work, the high school students are attending classes
every other day, and the school day itself is now two hours longer.
And it could take until the end of the summer to make the high school building safe once
again for those students.
Well, here's some good news.
The wind is on its way out tonight, but snow may not be far behind.
Marty is next to let us know when and where.

Seven News Weather is brought to you by your Denver Front Range Jeep Dealers.
Okay, no problem for these guys today, but I did have a hair problem today.
You saw me at 5 o'clock in the room.
Come on.
Yeah, well.
In Vegas, it was windy there too, only with you we couldn't tell.
It was very windy today and now tonight it has died down in advance of the next storm.
You know one of the good things about the last couple of days, a lot of snow in mountain
areas.
Steamboat Ski Resort today, little trees skiing there in the Aspen Glades.
Pretty good skier too.
That's Billy Kidd as you look there.
Tonight great sunset along the Front Range as the clouds streamed over from the mountains.
Beautiful color in the late afternoon.
Some of those clouds have thickened up just a bit this evening in advance of the next
system.
We're about to move over to the state now.
The main part of this system though, still off the coast of California, it will move
into the state late tomorrow afternoon into the mountains, into Denver on Thursday.
Outside now, just high clouds in the area.
After a very mild day, wind pushed us to 56 degrees, 33 the overnight low this morning.
46 and 18 are the averages.
Currently, we're still 45 degrees downtown.
DIA, 30 southeast wind, 8 miles an hour.
Pressure rising 30.16.
Tomorrow, I pointed out where that storm is.
It'll be on the coast of California.
Rain, snow in the Sierras, and very light snow late in the afternoon for the Colorado
Mountains.
Not in the morning when you wake up, but you will see it after about 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
On Thursday however, this storm is going to slip into eastern Colorado and with it we're
going to see much cooler air and moisture move across the state.
By Thursday evening, we'll have light snow in the Front Range and snow will increase
in mountain areas.
We will have yet another very nice snowstorm for the Colorado Mountains as we move into
the President's Day weekend.
High clouds early in the day tomorrow.
Again, late in the day, we're going to have this light snow developing and measurable
snow will start up about 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock tomorrow evening.
We're going to see that continuing until midnight, about 2 to 5 inches of snow by midnight tomorrow
night.
So fresh snow as you get out there on Thursday.
Lowest tonight, 20s in the east, teens in the mountains, teens and 20s in the west.
Tomorrow a cooler day.
We're going to have clouds blowing over the Front Range, not as much wind, so it will
be cooler.
40s in the northeast, near 50s southeast, 30s mountains, mid to upper 40s in the west.
We'll start to cool it down as we head into the end of the week.
The 7-day forecast tonight is partly cloudy.
Not a bad night.
25 the overnight low.
Tomorrow not nearly as windy, becoming cloudy by afternoon, 48 degrees.
As we look at Thursday in the evening, a little light snow around here after a partly cloudy
day and 42 Friday morning snow clearing in the afternoon.
35 Friday into the 40s for the weekend, into the 50s to start next week.
Wow, pretty mild.
It sure is.
We're not going to get much snow out of this next system, I don't think either.
We'll just wait for the next one.
Okay.
We'll get hit.
Well, most of us have been on a diet at one time, but now even children as young as 6
years old are becoming victims of eating disorders.
Disorders for many being beautiful means being thin, but the price of beauty can be just
far too costly.
7 News reporter Susan Suh joins us.
And Susan, this problem seems to be getting worse.
Yes, because the illnesses are affecting younger children now.
In this country, half the kids between first and third grade want to be thinner.
And because of that, more youngsters are taking drastic, deadly measures to lose weight.
Happy birthday dear Erin, happy birthday to you.
Erin Amity is celebrating more than her 17th birthday.
I'm glad I can finally not feel guilty about eating cake.
It's taken Erin several years to eat normally.
I think it started happening when I was in 8th grade.
And I really didn't think that I was, you know, developing an eating disorder or anything.
I just thought that I just decided that I needed to lose a little bit of weight.
But Erin lost a lot more than a little bit of weight last summer.
I weighed like 106, you know, like this summer.
And then I wanted to be 102.
And then I got 102 and that wasn't good enough.
I wanted to be 97.
I got to 97 and that wasn't good enough.
I wanted to be 92.
And when I got to 92, that still wasn't good enough.
So I wanted to be 85 and then I went into the hospital before I could get low enough
to, so it just was never good enough.
She lost a pound and a half a day, wasting away to just 89 pounds.
I stopped eating altogether and I didn't eat anything for two weeks and I only had two
sips of water a day.
Erin's story is not unusual.
What's even more alarming, the desire to be thin strikes children at much younger ages
these days.
Children as young as 6, 7, 8 years old are being treated for anorexia.
Dr. Jennifer Hagman is the director of the eating disorder treatment program at Children's
Hospital in Denver.
It used to be very rare.
Infantile or childhood onset anorexia was something that was very rare.
But we're seeing more cases.
But at your younger ages, when you're, you know, you actually lose bone growth.
You lose inches in growth and height and you can become medically unstable much more quickly.
But Erin's mom had no idea Erin was starving to be thin.
There was a feeling that there was something going on, but I was, like a lot of parents,
in denial.
I didn't want to believe that my daughter had anorexia.
It's sort of scary to think that, you know, I was 16 and, you know, I could have died.
So what drives our kids to these deadly measures?
You know, you aren't socially acceptable unless you were thin.
So I thought, you know, if I was going to have a happy life, I had to be thin.
These girls agree.
The message is clear, even at a very young age.
The magazines and the movies and the peer pressure at school are a lie.
There's always going to be that one girl that you want to look like.
I look in the mirror and I just saw myself probably three times bigger than I really
was.
A big part of my life, like, depends on what my friends think of me.
Some of the girls would, like, tell you, like, they'd be like, okay, so how many meals did
you eat today?
And so everyone would tell each other how much they ate and be like, all right, let's
try to eat less and less and less.
That's how it all started for Erin.
She went on a diet.
I decided to stop eating junk food and things like that and it just kind of got worse from
there.
And even though she still struggled with her illness today, Erin's now back to her normal
weight and she's eating almost everything.
It doesn't matter if you're 500 pounds or if you're 100 pounds, you know, as long as
you're a good person on the inside, that's how that really counts.
So how can you tell if your child is suffering from anorexia?
Look for significant weight loss that's not related to a medical condition.
Pay attention to abnormal eating habits like severe dieting or eating alone.
See if your child is preoccupied with weight and body image.
Have you noticed compulsive or excessive exercising?
Is there evidence of isolation from family and friends?
If you want more information or if you want to get help, you can log on to our website,

Mitch and Ed.
That's scary, isn't it?
Yeah.
Very.
Thank you.
Thanks.
And we also want to mention that this is Eating Disorders Awareness Week and the Children's
Hospital is offering free confidential screenings.
That's tomorrow from 1 to 3 in the afternoon.
Tom, do you want to just talk about Shannon Sharp?
Yeah, Shannon Sharp, I think I figured it out that he doesn't do interviews at altitude

Oh, okay.
He's at sea level today, so we'll hear what Shannon Sharp had to say in Baltimore while
he was visiting with the Ravens.
Is he staying or going?
We'll hear what Shannon had to say next.

Nuggets have had a bad habit lately, getting behind and having to dig out of that hole,
haven't they?
Yeah, it was almost worse because they'd start out ahead.
So you got teased a little bit and then they'd fall behind.
It looked like it was going to be another one of those tonight.
Nuggets were facing another ugly loss tonight, repeating the collapse of ten days ago to
Minnesota and just as the case when they met in Denver, the Nuggets blew a late lead tonight
in Minnesota.
It's the Nuggets' first game since the all-star break and they came out swinging.
Posey to Dice and he had 23-2 on the jam there.
Then the Nuggets threw a little fast break and then this time Posey finishes things himself.
The slam.
Nuggets try to end that five game losing streak but they'd have to go through Kevin Garnett
to do it and he was his usual self.
How about this big finish?
The twisting reverse jam on the lob.
24 points and 11 boards for KG but one highlight was rejected.
Rape LaPrinse says not tonight.
They go to overtime tied at 100.
Van Exel hit a three from right about here to help him get to overtime and he hits one
right there in overtime to get the Nuggets off the hook.
They win it 107 to 104.

Avalanche were in the wrong place to try and recuperate from their loss to Detroit on Sunday
night in Washington facing one of the hottest teams and doing it without Peter Forsberg
and Adam Foote again.
The Avs would have a tough time of it with Ole the goalie.
Olaf Kolzig stops Chris Drury here in the first period with a sprawling save.
Caps scored first in the second period power play.
Adam Oates behind the net to Chris Simon, the former Av gets his 18th of the year made
it 1-0.
The Avs would draw even later in the period.
Deadmarch has stopped.
Milan Heyduk though cashes in the rebound.
It's 26th of the year.
Final moment to the second period.
Sergei Gonchar to Adam Oates.
He just beat the buzzer.
And of course with a tenth of a second if Adam Oates scores you kiss your date in Washington.
I guess that's what happens.
Avs took their cuts in the third period.
Brian Rolston hits some iron here.
The Avs are out of first place.
They lose it tonight.
Who to what and Edmonton won in Nashville.
Well the Rockets are still holding out hope they might re-sign Shannon Sharpe.
But today the Baltimore Ravens made their pitch to Shannon and boy did they ever lay
out the red carpet.
How could Shannon pass on a team that put together this kind of reception?
Of course yesterday that sign said Troy Drayton and tonight it says Ben Coats.
Anyway it sounds like Shannon came away impressed.
How many do you have on your short list?
How many teams?
Two.
Denver and Baltimore?
How about talking with Ozzie Newsome talking about the trade with Ozzie.
I mean he set the standard for tight end.
I told him he's the second best tight end they ever played.
The money is always a factor it is.
But for someone like Shannon Sharpe at this point in his career it's one of the rare things
where all things being equal or being close he has an agenda and we'll see where that
leads.
Here in Colorado the Broncos are entertaining guests as well.

the English Springer Spaniel cashed in for all the hardware.
The five and a half year old daughter of the 1993 champ won best in show at the Westminster
Kettle Club show tonight.
That's it for Samantha having won her 50th title tonight.
She now retires to become a mom and hopefully won't have that woman digging her fingernails
into her chin anymore.
I'm kidding.
And you knew it.
Congratulations.
All along.
Thanks.
Good job.
