On February 16th, 2018, after Denver police received a tip they tracked down Dunford and arrested him on charges of first-degree murder over the death of Jeanna Leslie.

[8]On the night of February 13th, the police were called to do a welfare check on Leslie and found a decomposing body inside of her bathroom.

After attaining a Warrant, the police further inspected the apartment and found several items that belonged to Dunford.

The police found Dunford had left his wallet inside of a shopping bag near the crime scene which contains his Department of Veterans Affairs ID, a Denver Rescue Mission card and a Hawaii driver's license - all of which under the name of Dunford.

The initial items the police found were multiple knives, a number of which appeared to have been marked by blood.

Also located were a cardboard carrier for a six-pack of Corona and a receipt from Champa Fine Wine & Liquor, as well as a pair of tan, green and black camouflage cargo pants and a large, light-tan sweatshirt with a fish logo on it.

Both garments were bloodied.

The police found surveillance footage from the Champa Fine Wine & Liquor store that dates back to February 7th, 2018.

In the footage, Dunford can be seen with Leslie and was the same night she sent her last text and phone call that was made.

Leslie had made the effort of helping homeless people stay at her place as a way to help them get back on their feet.

Leslie had been associating with the homeless on 16th Street, and began helping two men get back up on their feet.

There's speculation that Leslie must've bumped into Dunford when she was present in the area.
