THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN MORTICIAN

Trust, Access, and Murder in the Colorado Foothills

In Colorado’s quiet cemeteries and foothills, a man entrusted with the dead committed crimes no one expected—and no one saw coming.

The Rocky Mountain Mortician is a deeply researched true-crime account of Eugene Edward Britt, a mortuary and cemetery worker whose access, routine, and professional trust allowed him to move invisibly through spaces designed for silence. When three women were murdered, the crimes did not erupt into public panic. They unfolded quietly—shielded by familiarity, isolation, and institutional blind spots.

Author Elliot Christopher, writing in the signature True Crime Files investigative style, reconstructs the case from its earliest warning signs through arrest, trial, sentencing, and the broader lessons that followed. Drawing on court records, law enforcement statements, and behavioral analysis, this book examines how access-based offenders exploit systems built on trust—and how violence can thrive not in chaos, but in order.

This is not a sensationalized portrait of a killer. It is a victim-centered examination of accountability, oversight, and the cost of assuming safety where none is verified. The narrative remains grounded, factual, and restrained, placing equal weight on evidence, institutional context, and the lives lost.

Inside this book:

• A detailed reconstruction of the investigation and arrest

• Courtroom strategy, expert testimony, and sentencing

• Psychological analysis of control-oriented offenders

• Institutional failures and reforms that followed

• A respectful, victim-centered epilogue and memorial

Part of the True Crime Files series, The Rocky Mountain Mortician is essential reading for true-crime readers who value depth over shock—and truth over spectacle.
