Captain Leide DeFusco
Biographical Information:
Incident Details:
Captain Leide DeFusco was killed in an airplane crash as he and John Barger, a retired Pueblo Police Department Captain, searched for marijuana grows in the Wet Mountains. A narcotics task force had raided two large marijuana plantations in the area two weeks earlier and the two were searching for additional grows nearby when radio contact was lost at approximately 9:30 am. A rescue team located the smoldering wreckage of the Piper Super Cruiser in rugged terrain in the San Isabel National Forest, approximately 5 miles below St. Charles Peak in Custer County. Mr. Barger was an experienced pilot who provided flight services to local law enforcement agencies. Captain DeFusco had served in law enforcement for a total of 22 years. He had previously served with Pueblo Police Department. He is survived by his wife and four children.

| Posted 9 months ago Rest in peace Cpt DeFusco. I'll keep you, your family, friends and co-workers in my thoughts and prayers. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
