In January of 2003, a 20-year-old college student in Colorado didn’t return home after a night out with friends. One week later, her body was found in a canyon outside of the city, clearly having been abducted and murdered. As police investigated the case, they uncovered that her killer had posed as a police officer, and pulled her over for a routine traffic stop before she disappeared, and that Lacy’s phony traffic stop wasn’t the first time it had occurred. This is the murder of Lacy Miller.
