The Denver Post: Jonathan and Elizabeth Stark arrived at a park outside Granby on a late-April day in 2020 to meet with Grand County’s assistant coroner and a sheriff’s investigator.

Their conversation, captured on a body-worn camera, concerned the investigation into the Feb. 18 death of their 7-year-old son, Isaiah.

The cause and circumstances of the boy’s death were deeply unusual. Isaiah died from ingesting too much sodium, the coroner found, likely due to drinking olive brine. The parents had used olives and olive brine as a form of punishment, a mandatory reporter later told a child abuse hotline. Isaiah was also malnourished at the time of his death.

The Starks were well-known community members in the small mountain town of Hot Sulphur Springs, especially in law enforcement circles, with Jonathan Stark serving as an officer in the Granby Police Department.
