“And she said, I pulled the baby out and it looked like it had been dipped in a bucket of blood, but the baby was okay.”
That moment, recalled by Chief Deputy District Attorney Eva Wilson, came at the scene of one of the most haunting cases of her career: a triple homicide, a newborn found beside a murdered mother, and a suspected killer who ultimately walked free.
On this episode of the George Brauchler DA Podcast, Eva Wilson traces her remarkable journey—from growing up on a ranch in rural North Dakota to prosecuting some of the toughest and most emotionally charged cases in Colorado history. Over a 40-year career, she's seen justice prevail, justice denied, and even one unforgettable case where her own client was convicted—a verdict she calls one of the happiest days of her life.
Now, as she prepares to retire, Eva sits down for a final look back at the cases, the costs, and the calling.
