Was the bigger tragedy the murder, or the fact that Estes Park ultimately didn't care?

No surprise. Innocent victims are often victimized in Estes post-fact, because when everything is mandatorily sunny then nothing can be sad, and loose ends must be cut off or forgotten.

Getting Hostiles

According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs.
