Boham told Lara Holland, who lived in a Denver mansion on High Street in an apartment a floor below Boham, that he "sanitized" his apartment by thoroughly scrubbing it because a gay man had lived there previously, she said.

[edit] Mental Stability
It has been noted that Tim suffered from a Bi-Polar disorder and was prone to fits of rage and anger. Boham worked as a model the past three years for Denver's Maximum Talent Agency, said Rob Lail, agency co-owner.
Boham had the right look but not the right attitude for modeling work, Lail said.
"He didn't like people telling him what to do. He seemed like an angry person. His opportunities were tapering off."
Boham has an explosive temper and owned a large collection of guns, including a rifle with a silencer and a scope, Holland said.
Boham, who has a 5-year-old daughter, also picked fights over petty disputes with friends, she said.
"He got into bloody fistfights," Holland said. "He just had anger issues."
[edit] Murder of JP Kelso
A housekeeper found Kelso, 43, shot to death in the bathtub of his upscale Congress Park home Nov. 13.
According to the Denver Post, Boham told his family that he killed Kelso because he wanted the $100,000 to $400,000 Kelso kept in his household safe.
The Post reports that court documents said Boham planned to use the money to go to South America with his girlfriend, he told his mother and sister shortly after the shooting, the records allege.
But Boham said his plan went awry when Kelso refused to open the safe, and there was a brief struggle during which he accidentally shot Kelso, according to the Post.
Boham told his family that when he cut the safe open, it was empty and "so he had done this for nothing," according to a police affidavit.
Kelso had a gunshot wound to the head, police told thePost.
