In the late 1990s the Docheff family approached Heemeyer to buy his one remaining muffler shop in order to build a concrete batch plant on the land. “If Marv was your friend, he was your best friend,” said one of Heemeyer’s close associates, “but if he decided that he was your enemy, then he was your worst and most dangerous enemy.” In one particularly extreme instance, Heemeyer threatened to kill a customer’s husband when she refused to pay for a faulty muffler repair. When a reporter for a local paper interviewed Heemeyer for an editorial opposed to gambling, he reported that Heemeyer was so enraged by the opposition that the interview nearly came to fisticuffs. He was a strong proponent of legalizing gambling, and he published at least two newsletters to disseminate his views. There were some, however, who were more familiar with his volatile temperament. He was generally well-liked among his friends and neighbors, being described as an “enjoyable person,” and as someone who would “bend over backwards for anyone”. Heemeyer became involved with politics almost immediately upon establishing his home in Colorado. After a while he began to lease some of the shops out to other operators, but kept one, Mountain View Muffler in Granby, to operate himself. After his service ended, he moved to Grand Lake, Colorado and opened a small chain of muffler shops in the surrounding cities. Heemeyer first became enamored with the state of Colorado when he was stationed there in the Air Force. Even as he was forced to give up his legal fight and sell his land, he hatched one last plan to secretly retool his muffler shop to serve a single malevolent purpose: to construct a machine that would allow him to exact his revenge upon those who had wronged him. His business was ruined by some shady zoning changes, and Heemeyer contended that mayor and city council were corrupt. In the late 1990s⁠-after years of protests, petitions, and town meetings⁠-it became obvious to the 52-year-old that he was entwined in a gross miscarriage of justice. Marvin Heemeyer of Granby, Colorado was a profoundly frustrated muffler repair man.
