EP286: The Cost of an Heir

EP286: The Cost of an Heir

On a quiet February morning in 1960, one of America’s most powerful brewing dynasties collided with every parent’s worst nightmare. Adolph Coors III—heir to a beer empire, devoted father, and fixture of Colorado’s elite—vanished on his way to work, leaving behind an abandoned car, a single shoe, and a trail of unanswered questions. What followed was a tense, high-stakes drama that gripped the nation: cryptic demands, frantic negotiations, and a family forced to make impossible decisions under the glare of public attention. This is the story of a disappearance that exposed the vulnerabilities of immense wealth—and set off a chain of events no one could control.
