13-year-old Colorado boy accused of killing father
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A 13-year-old Gypsum boy is suspected of killing his father and trying to conceal the slaying.
The boy was arrested Monday after a tip from the father's employer led deputies to check on the family. The teenager answered the door and told them his 50-year-old father was dead in the home.
It's not clear how long he had been dead.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Eagle County Sheriff's Office says the boy was being investigated for graffiti before the slaying.
Spokeswoman Jessie Mosher says the father didn't show up for a meeting with deputies Wednesday to discuss the investigation. The father's employer said the son called in to report his father sick several days in a row. He grew suspicious and reported the situation Monda.
The father's name hasn't been released yet.
