Christopher Hodenpel |
A sheriff’s deputy found Christopher Don Hodenpel’s partially decomposed body May 13 near Edwards, according to a statement from the Eagle County sheriff’s office. The deputy started searching for Hodenpel after workers maintaining a ditch found a backpack filled with cash and his belongings near Colorado Highway 6.
The statement said Hodenpel had probably been dead in the area for a few days when the deputy found his body.
An autopsy of Hodenpel found no apparent trauma to his body and a toxicology exam is pending.
“No obvious cause of death has been determined at this time; however no immediate signs of criminal involvement have been found either,” the statement said.
Hodenpel is described as a Korean male, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, 125 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. Investigators are asking anyone with information about Hodenpel and why he was in Eagle County to call 970-328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at 970-328-7007.
