On April 22, 1958, David Early was released from Fort Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. In a pre-release letter, he said that he'd like to return to his home state of Colorado. He also mention that is attorney, Merrill Knight, would help him upon his release from prison. Early arrive in Denver two days later and showed up to Knight's residence. No one was home, so Early entered through an unlocked basement door. Once inside, he began to search for money and jewelry that he could pawn. He came across Merrill's .22 caliber rifle, which he then loaded before making himself comfortable. Early had been in and out of jail or prison for most of his life. Merrill Knight represented him out of pity. During one of his stays in prison, doctors at Colorado State Penitentiary diagnosed Early as a "dangerous psychopath".
