Welcome to the George Brauchler DA Podcast — your front-row seat to the world of true crime, seen through the eyes of one of Colorado's most accomplished prosecutors.

Today we're joined by a true giant in Colorado law enforcement — literally and figuratively — Colonel Matthew Packard, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol. Standing at 6'10", Chief Packard has spent decades serving and shaping public safety across the state.

In this episode, he shares his remarkable journey — from a college accounting major, to leading one of Colorado's most vital law enforcement agencies. We'll explore his passion for policing, his leadership philosophy, and the deeply personal experiences that have shaped his career.

Chief Packard also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of Trooper Cody Donahue, who was killed in the line of duty — and how that tragedy led to important changes in Colorado's driving laws. Plus, he recounts the case that still haunts him: a high-speed pursuit of a wrong-way drunk driver that ended in a devastating loss just seconds before he arrived on the scene.

Today's guest is Chief Deputy District Attorney Garrick Storgaard — a seasoned courtroom veteran who has prosecuted some of the state's most harrowing cases. Garrick shares his unlikely journey from college Classics major to law school graduate, and ultimately to the front lines of Colorado's criminal justice system.

He takes us inside the long-awaited conviction of Alex Ewing — a brutal killer who bludgeoned a family to death with a hammer and evaded justice for 35 years until a breakthrough in DNA technology finally brought him to trial. Garrick also recounts two other chilling murder cases, including one involving a killer who used the Letgo app to lure victims under the pretense of selling a car.
