Homer Abel, 63, a part-time gasoline station attendant, was shot dead on Feb. 27, 1984 - a slaying an investigator called the most cold-blooded he'd ever encountered.
The case has never been solved.
After killing Abel, the suspect posed as a station employee, filled a customer's tank with fuel, took her money - and drove off, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
The suspect was described as a young white man 5-foot-8, standing 150-170 pounds, with dark hair, a dark beard and closely trimmed mustache, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said. He was driving a full-size American-made pickup truck.
Abel worked at the Asamera Gas Station on Highway 6 east of Rifle in Garfield County. He was last seen alive about 15 minutes before customers found his body.
