The Tragic Love, Jealousy, and Murder of Scott Sessions and Heather Frank
The Colorado music community was rocked early in 2020 when trumpeter Scott Sessions went missing, only to be found dead by violent means. Three days after he died, another tragedy that had nothing to do with Mr. Clemmons took place: Heather Frank was killed.
This article delves deeper into the tragic story, the investigation that revealed shocking revelations, and the process by which the victim finally receives justice. It’s a sort of case that serves as a grim reminder that love and jealousy can be a lethal mix.
Scott Sessions: A Life of Music and Dreams
Scott Sessions was raised in a loving household in Greeley, Colorado. A baby taken into adoption, he formed a tight-knit bond with his family. He had a passion for music since childhood.
He performed on trumpet with local bands, and he also played with a local jazz group at Brigham Young University. Friends described Scott as cheerful, hardworking, and full of life. He also operated a painting company and enjoyed the outdoors with his pets.
The Night Scott Went Away
On February 8, 2020, Scott was supposed to meet a young waitress he had just started to see, Heather Frank. Their bond was new and full of possibility. They had been exchanging cheerful Facebook messages.
But Scott never arrived at his upcoming music gig. His friends became concerned and alerted his family. A day later, his burned body, wrapped in plastic, was discovered in the Poudre Canyon. His neck bore a fatal knife wound.
Heather Frank: A Mother, A Warrior, A Fatality
Heather Frank, a single mother of three, was a kind and gentle person living in Greeley, Colorado. She had recently ended an abusive relationship and was eager for a fresh start. She enjoyed music, crafting, and working at Doug’s Diner, where she met Scott. Their love was young but promising. Tragically, Heather would also have her life ended by the hands of a murderer just days after Scott’s death.
The Investigation: Twists, Turns, And A Staggering Find
The first romance in his past that police investigated was Scott’s previous life. His former girlfriend had a rocky relationship with him, but was eliminated as a suspect. It wasn’t long before all eyes were on Heather and her most recent ex, Kevin Eastman.
Surveillance cameras and GPS tracking devices put Eastman within striking distance of crucial crime scenes. Hidden cameras also recorded jarring behavior at Heather’s home, which deepened the investigators’ fears.
Kevin Eastman, The Jealous Ex-Boyfriend Who Inspired The Murders
Heather had a tumultuous history with Kevin Eastman. Investigators think he used her Facebook to lure Scott to her house. Upon Scott’s arrival, Eastman fell upon him and slashed his throat in a jealous fury. Heather, possibly forced to help conceal Scott’s body, then became Eastman’s second victim. Her body was discovered on a farm in Weld County, concealed under lumber with gunshot wounds.
Prosecution And Sentencing of Kevin Eastman
Kevin Eastman was arrested after he was caught trying to burn evidence at the farm. He attempted to point the finger at others during his trial, but the evidence was overwhelming against him.
In July 2022, he was convicted of both murders and sentenced to two life terms plus 27 years. Investigators believe Heather could have survived if they had acted sooner. Yet in the end, justice did catch up with Eastman.
