A Lakewood man shot and killed his 16-year-old daughter on Sunday then fatally shot himself north of Fort Collins on Monday, according to the Larimer County Coroner's Office.

Robert Francis Wolf, 52, kept obsessive notes of the alleged homicide and his eventual suicide, which took place about 30 miles north of Fort Collins.

Larimer County sheriff's deputies discovered the notes along with the two bodies in a Subaru Legacy parked in the 3700 block of W. County Road 82E about 12:50 p.m. Monday, according to a release from the sheriff's office and information from Larimer County Coroner Investigator Greg Fairman.

According to Fairman, Wolf shot his daughter, Denver Wolf of Colorado Springs, three times in the chest sometime in the early afternoon on Sunday after driving her from Colorado Springs to somewhere in Park County. Fairman said Wolf documented the alleged shooting on "seven, eight, nine pages" of notes.

"These are the cases that just break your heart," Fairman said, audibly upset during a Tuesday afternoon phone call.

According to Wolf's notes, Fairman said, the man then drove to a cabin in Livermore and later to West County Road 82E with his daughter's body in tow and shot himself once in the chest with a .22 caliber Beretta long rifle at 2 a.m. Monday.

Larimer County sheriff's deputies found the bodies after the Colorado Springs Police Department contacted them at 9:40 a.m. Monday, asking them to check on the welfare of a male and female in the area of county roads 82E and 80C. The girl's mother called the police after getting "strange texts" from Wolf, Fairman said. Deputies found the car with the help of "concerned citizens" and are continuing to investigate.

Murder-suicides are uncommon in Larimer County. The last one happened in Fort Collins in April, when Darrell Hoyer shot his wife, Merta, and their two dogs before shooting himself.
