    Dear SSA members,


    I am working on a documentary and am having trouble finding local Colorado news report footage about one of our film's subjects. 



    We are focusing on a Colorado woman, Jessica Gonzales and three key events in a legal case she is involved with:


    -Initial tragedy - her children were killed in 1999 by her estranged husband

    -Jessica sued the Castle Rock Police in 2000 and the case went to the Supreme Court in 2005

    -After losing the Supreme Court case, she brings the case before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)


    I've done an extensive search with national news archives as well as local Colorado news archives, and am having trouble finding news report footage on the last two events, at the local Colorado news level.


    We know local news reports exist on the Supreme Court Case and IACHR case as Jessica's lawyer informed us about being interviewed for the Supreme Court Case by Colorado local news stations, as well, as viewing news coverage about the IACHR case from local news stations.


    If anyone can recommend archives, individuals, or organizations that might lead me to archived local Colorado news reports, I'd greatly appreciate it!


    Thank you!


    Best,


    Laura Pilloni
