Robert Redford’s death renews search for suspect in murder of daughter’s boyfriend

FBI announces $10,000 reward to find suspect who disappeared after Sid Wells was fatally shot in 1983

The recent death of Robert Redford brought renewed interest to an unresolved search for a murder suspect - the one accused of killing the boyfriend of the acclaimed actor's daughter in Colorado decades earlier.

As local outlets recounted in the aftermath of Redford's death, his daughter Shauna was attending the University of Colorado Boulder when her boyfriend and fellow student, Sid Wells, was fatally shot in his apartment. Redford was gearing up to film his classic The Natural at the time of the 1 August 1983 murder, yet he was at his daughter's side in the wake of Wells' death and was present for his funeral.
