Circumstances of Disappearance
Colorado authorities believe that Julian “Babe” Gabriel was involved in the murders of Cindy Atterberry and Oscar “Joe” McNear. In 1985, law enforcement searched his property following a tip from Tony Ashford, an Illinois inmate, who claimed he had assisted in burying the remains of Cindy Atterberry and Oscar “Joe” McNear in steel drums on Gabriel’s remote land. Ashford and McNear had ties to Gabriel dating back to his time in Springfield.
