Father, teenage son arrested for mother's murder in Pagosa Springs: CBI

DENVER (KDVR) — A 43-year-old man and his 17-year-old son have been arrested for the murder of the teenager's mother in early July, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Charles Christopher Martinez and his son Hevon Martinez are both facing a single charge of first-degree murder of Chrystal Snow, 38, who was found dead in the 1000 block of County Road 700 near Pagosa Springs on July 2. Hevon was already in custody for separate charges, and will be tried as an adult in his mother's homicide, CBI said.

Law enforcement became aware of Snow's death when an open-line 911 call was received at about 2:20 a.m. on July 2, causing deputies to respond to the residence. They found her "shot during an apparent homicide," according to a previous CBI release.

Another one of Snow's children went missing in July after they were located with an aunt in Cortez on July 2, prompting an Endangered Missing Alert issued through CBI.

The child, who will not be identified due to their age, was placed in the custody of the Department of Human Services on July 16, which is the same day that investigators learned Charles was seen with the child.

The Archuleta County Sheriff's Office, Montezuma County Sheriff's Office, Cortez Police Department and 6th Judicial District Attorney's Office all worked with CBI in this investigation.
