What happened to Scott Sessions?
According to multiple sources, the 54-year-old Greeley trumpet player, Stanley "Scott" Sessions, met the 48-year-old divorced mother-of-three Heather Christina Frank at a blues concert in January 2020. The two were reportedly casually seeing each other. Sessions set out to meet Frank at her apartment on February 8, 2020, and that was the last time his father, Stanley F Sessions heard from him.
As he failed to appear for his performance at a sold-out show at The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse on February 10, 2020, his bandmates were left puzzled as he allegedly arrived at the gigs before time. Stanley Sessions reported his son missing the following day. However, he was soon informed that Scott's body was recovered in an area close to Poudre Canyon next to a smoldering log by a snowplow. Sgt. Jerry Porter of the Weld County Sheriff’s Office spoke to ABC News, explaining,
“The body had been intentionally burned and wrapped in plastic and that plastic had been bound and duct-taped.”
The autopsy result determined the slit made in his neck to be deep enough to sever his spinal cord and almost decapitate his head from his torso. A week later, Heather Frank's body was found with two fatal gunshot wounds to the chest on the Weld County property of Kevin Eastman's former employer, Troy Bonnell. Eastman and Frank shared an abusive relationship wherein the latter pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour assault against Frank in 2015.
Kevin Eastman was arrested at a Kersey gas station hours after Heather Frank's murder, owing to ongoing surveillance by the investigators. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, and tampering with physical evidence.
