DENVER — It was 34 years ago this week when an accomplished Broadway dancer was severely beaten as she returned home from the grocery store and to this day those responsible for her death have never been identified.
On Feb. 3, 1987, Harriet Duvallo, 53, was attacked by an unknown person or people in the area of 817 E. 10th Ave. in the Capitol Hill area of Denver, according to a Facebook post from Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. She was severely beaten during the attack and died the following day, the post says.
Around the time of the attack on Duvallo, there was a wave of attacks by youth wielding golf clubs, bricks and knives, according to a 1987 article from the Associated Press.
Prior to her death, Duvallo was an accomplished Broadway dancer and worked for a major airline company.
