ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. -- Help may be on the way for some Adams County residents who've spent the past four months living next to a giant debris pile.

County officials say they've sent a notice to the property owner demanding that the lot be cleaned up. The debris is the result of a natural gas explosion that leveled a home at 7724 Sherman Street on September 8th.

The property now belongs to Freddie Mac. The home was foreclosed on several weeks before the blast.

"The ultimate responsibility for the cleanup is the property owner's and in this case the property owner failed to act and clean the property," said Besharah Najjar, Adams County Public Works Director.

Najjar said the county sent a blight notice to Freddie Mac in late December after receiving a complaint from a local resident and inspecting the property.

"That was the first complaint we got was on December 29," said Najjar Monday.

DENVER -- Colorado plumbing companies were inundated with calls this weekend from residents whose pipes burst.

Master Plumber David Bright with Applewood Plumbing Heating and Electric says his company got hundreds of calls each day.

Rosie Malinovskii was one of them. "I think I'm lucky I got somebody over here," she said. She says she woke up on New Year's Day and had no water. She knew her pipes were frozen. She says a few hours later she heard the water dripping from the ceiling in the basement.

DENVER - He was already considered Colorado's most prolific serial killer. And now Fox 31 has learned Scott Lee Kimball could be under investigation for at least 17 murders, maybe more.

Kimball is already serving time for killing four people.

His cousin, Ed Coet, talked with Kimball at length about his crimes. Coet has just written a book about the murders called "SLK: Serial Killer."

He says Kimball may have killed his first victim when he was just 14 years old.

He says Kimball described a drowning that looked accidental but was not. He says there is also talk about an accident hunting.

Coet says Kimball told him about another murder in Colorado, one that occurred when Kimball was a teenager. He says Kimball told him he helped another man bury the body of a girl near Nederland.
