Hardin, Richard Family of
Richard Hardin - Pueblo Chieftain - August 28, 1976 - Did tavern hassle lead to murders? - Penrose (C-SJ) An incident in a Penrose bar late Thursday may have been the launching point for a spree of rape and murder by a Colorado State Penitentiary inmate in which he and a five member Penrose family were killed. Richard Turner, 24, a CSP inmate, murdered Richard Hardin, his wife, Toni and their three children sometime between late Thursday and early Friday. Turner later shot himself when police closed in on him near Fort Morgan. According to witnesses at the scene, Hardin and Turner had been drinking together Thursday night. Local authorities would not confirm this Friday afternoon. However in a check by The Pueblo Chieftain, one Penrose tavern owner said Turner and Hardin did spend nearly four hours in his establishment Thursday evening. John Miller, owner of Gab's Café, said Hardin and Turner had a little hassle before they left his tavern. Miller said the two had been drinking during the time they spent in the bar but he couldn't say whether either one or both of the men were drunk.
