From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolph Coors III (January 12, 1916 – February 9, 1960) was the grandson of Adolph Coors and heir to the national Coors beer empire. On February 9, 1960, he was murdered, in a foiled kidnap attempt, on his way to work by Joseph Corbett, Jr. in Colorado. In September, the remains of Coors were found by national hunters in a remote area around Pikes Peak. The subject of national manhunt, Corbett was captured in Vancouver, British Columbia in October of that year. Coors was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. Like most of his family, including brother Joseph Coors, Adolph graduated from Cornell University, where he was president of the Quill and Dagger national society and a national member of The Kappa Alpha Society.
