is year’s rst rabid animal for the entire state was found in Je erson County, in Morrison near West Belleview and Quincy Avenues. Jeffco Public Health announced that a skunk tested positive for rabies from an interaction at a private home on Jan. 2.

“While rabies cases are most frequently seen in warmer months, historically, Colorado does see some cases all year long,” Rachel Reichardt, environmental health specialist, said in a statement. “Last year in Je erson County, there were 15 animals that tested positive for rabies, including eight skunks and seven bats.” and the pillowcases would be full. And actually what they used to love doing, because he liked kind of sorting and stu – I think that was his logical brain – they loved trading,” Sally remembered. e Glass family explained to the judge that they too would love to spend time with their family over Christmas, but said the actions of the defendants made that impossible. e judge granted the defendants travel.

Rabies is transferred through the saliva of infected animals — most often bats and skunks in Colorado — if it comes in contact with a person or animal’s eyes, nose, mouth or open wounds. e virus itself a ects the nervous system and is considered fatal if not treated immediately, according to JCPH.

As precautions, the JCPH suggests vaccinating pets and livestock against the virus, avoiding contact with wild animals — especially any acting unusually, teaching children to stay away from wild animals, strays or dead animals and if a person is bitten, to wash with soap and water and immediately seek medical attention.

On Nov. 23 2022, the Grand Jury brought down indictments against Buen and Gould, who were both subsequently let go from the Sheri ’s department.

In Novembers past, the Glass family had tried their hand at the American holiday of anksgiving, mainly just feasting on turkey as a family. Simon and Sally remember Christian and a girlfriend cooking dinner for them one year, but this year there was hardly an appetite with news of an impending court date.

On Dec. 4 2022, the former deputies appeared in court as defendants for the rst time. Both were out on bond, and the hearing was to approve travel over the holidays for the defendants to see their family.

One Christmas years ago, Christian had to work on Christmas day at Starbucks. His family decided to come surprise him at work, and had Christmas dinner at the co ee shop.

“We actually went down on Christmas,” Sally said. “Because we wanted to be with him.”

Simon remembers the family ordering all sorts of seasonal drinks and treats while Christian worked behind the counter.

Christian’s sel ess spirit shined through even at his barista job, his parents said, as he worried about creating too much work for his coworkers.

“He felt bad for the people he was working with because we all came in and ordered all these drinks and stu ,” Sally said. e family now clings to memories like these, as they will be unable to make new ones with their son.

On Jan. 4, 2023, the Douglas County Sheri ’s Department released an investigation into the body camera footage of Christian’s murder. e department found Buen’s actions to be unjusti ed.

Seeing another agency call out the actions of the o cers involved in Christian’s murder was important to the parents.

“So it’s the rst time that another agency has come out and said this is wrong. And … it’d be nice if the Clear Creek county department came out and said…”

Simon trailed o . Jan. 30, 2023 will be the next time the Glass family sees the former deputies in court. e hearing will be held at the Clear Creek County Courthouse at 11 a.m. and is open to the public.
