Paul Skiba ran a moving company in Westminster called Tuff Movers. On a Sunday evening in February of nineteen ninety-nine, he left the lot on a job with his employee Lorenzo Chivers and his nine-year-old daughter Sarah, who was with him for the weekend. They were last seen in Morrison about half an hour later. Sarah made a phone call at twenty-two minutes past six. None of the three was ever seen again. Police treated it as a kidnapping at first, assuming Paul had taken his daughter and run. Nearly a week later, a friend of Paul's and the friend's wife climbed the fence into the Tuff Movers lot to look for themselves. They found bullet holes along the side of a nineteen seventy-eight Chevrolet moving truck. There was a large stain that looked like blood. Near the windshield lay a chunk of what appeared to be human scalp.
