Nicholaides, Marie A

Marie Bazzinotti Nicholaides, 36, graduated cum laude from Emmanuel College in Boston. While in school, she worked part time at Digital Equipment Corporation as a computer programmer. Marie was described as a quiet girl, intelligent and very sincere. But she came out of her shell when she went to work. Following graduation she was employed full time by Digital as an account manager. She gave seminars for her employer. There she met her future husband, George Nicholaides. When Digital moved its headquarters to Colorado, the Nicholaides moved here too. George was involved in construction, building homes. In June 1990 they had a son, Stephen. Marie enjoyed the outdoors. She liked hiking, camping and horseback riding. But she loved the ocean and missed it after moving to Colorado. On May 23, 1991, Marie went home early from work. At 5pm, her husband reported to the Arapahoe County Sheriff that he found her dead inside the door still clutching her purse and car keys. Marie had been hit on the head several times with a blunt object. This murder remains unsolved.
