“She would be 34 now, perhaps a mother herself. Maybe she’d have a blond-haired, bright-eyed, big-toothed smiling daughter, like the one she once was. But she doesn’t. Instead, two decades after she went out for a jog in Idaho Springs and never came home, Beth Miller’s fate remains a mystery. Despite a massive search, no trace of her has ever been found. The case made headlines for months, flared back onto the front pages with each new reported sighting or lead, and then faded slowly into obscurity. Time passed. Investigators came and went. Suspects danced into view but, one by one, stayed maddenly out-of-reach.” Kevin Vaughan, Rocky Mountain News 2003.
