Several independent witnesses reported seeing marilee walking a route that included berry drive, bowles avenue and middlefield road, but she never made it home. The day after she disappeared, a jefferson county road crew found marilee’s naked body in deer creek canyon, several miles away from where she was last seen, and contacted law enforcement. She had been sexually assulted and strangled to death. The arapahoe county sheriff’s office collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.
