DeVoe Indicted On 11 Felony Accounts
A joint investigation between the Colorado Division of Securities and the Weld County District Attorney's Office has led to the indictment of 43-year-old Darin DeVoe on 11 counts of securities fraud. Cops say between 2001 and 2005, he ripped off investors for more than $2 million.
Police say investors met DeVoe through close friends and from church groups he would often attend. It is believed that he assured his victims that by investing their money, they would avoid foreclosures on their homes, and the loss of other valuable property. Cops say that one of the people Devoe is accused of ripping off is the wife of a slain police officer. Now, after being indicted by a grand jury, police say that DeVoe has on the run.
According to investigators, DeVoe is a "mountain man" type who often brings young boys along with him on hunting trips. They say he spends much of his time at strip joints and dates strippers and prostitutes alike. We can assume that he has regular access to weapons, and should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Thoughts? His cons occurred between 2001 and 2005 but I put 2007 since that was his indictment and warrant year. DeVoe was aired as brief mentions on AMW fox in 2009 and 2010 and on October 5th, 2012 was given a full-profile and re-enactment on the penultimate episode of AMW on Lifetime. I believe I also remember John Walsh mentioning the man that killed the police officer husband of one of DeVoe's victims was actually profiled on AMW but captured indirectly. His name escapes me though. According to his archive.org AMW profile, in addition to Colorado, DeVoe also had drivers licenses in Wyoming and Alaska. He has family in Ogallala, Nebraska and he may be there as well. In my opinion, he may still be in the mountain region somewhere.
