In August 2006, teenage mother Candace Hiltz was murdered in the family’s trailer in Fremont County, Colorado. The severity of the murder shocked the country, and the police faced many challenges, including a very personal one. The killer(s) are still emerging, despite a decade of questioning. The killer could be one person, according to Candace’s mother, but according to the police, it could be someone else.
The difficult case is closely followed in “Valley of the Damned: Impossible Perpetrator” on Investigation Discovery, which also lays out the facts for viewers to understand. We’ve got your back if you want to know all about the case. So let’s get started, shall we?
How Did Candace Hiltz Die?
On December 22, 1988, Candace Colleary Hiltz was born in Canon City, Fremont County, Colorado. He is enrolled in an online program at Brigham Young University and is about to receive his degree. Dolores Hiltz, her mother, recalled Candace’s ambition to attend Stanford Law School and eventually serve as a US Supreme Court justice. The 16-year-old had a baby girl named Paige with her boyfriend Jesse Weaver. She is also a teen mother. Paige was born with hydrocephalus, an unusual condition.
Candace is opinionated, which often gets her into trouble, despite being smart and intelligent. Even when they are angry, he has a talent for telling people what he really thinks about them. Dolores thought this was a big part of her gruesome murder. On August 15, 2006, Jesse arrived at Candace’s trailer in the Copper Gulch community to find his daughter crying alone in her bed. Candace lives there with her mother and daughter. He also noticed blood in the corridor of the trailer. When Dolores arrived, she discovered her daughter’s nearly dismembered body hidden under the bed.
When Fremont County Sheriff’s officers arrived at the scene, they found the woman’s body wrapped in a green blanket and seven gunshot wounds. Five gunshots to the back of his skull, one to the face, one to his left chest. According to the autopsy report, three separate guns were used: a .45 Long Colt was used for the face, a.22 caliber shotgun for the skull, and a.410 shotgun for the face. There was no evidence of sexual assault or robbery, according to police.
Who Killed Candace Hiltz?
After Jesse Weaver was acquitted, James “Jimmy” Hiltz, Candace’s brother, was named the prime suspect in the murder. Jimmy, charged with several local robberies, had some psychiatric problems that caused him to become estranged from his wife and children. He used to live in the hills behind the trailer where Candace lived with her mother and her daughter as if she was homeless because of her social anxiety.
A 3-day manhunt was launched after a murder without finding Jimmy, and he was eventually imprisoned. However, detectives could not link him to his sister’s death. Jimmy is a regular patient at the Colorado Mental Health Institute. He was found not guilty of the theft charge due to mental illness, and as a result, he was sentenced to readmission to a mental facility. The case quickly went cold as there were no new leads or suspects.
But ten years later, in December 2016, a Canon City resident named Rick Ratzlaff purchased a storage shed that once belonged to Lt. Det. Robert Dodd, a detective working on Candace’s murder case. Rick was reading the material when he found a manila package labeled “Evidence,” which included a blood-stained rope, an axe, and a bloody sock. The Colorado Bureau of Inquiry launched an investigation after receiving the package, which was believed to contain information related to Candace’s murder.
In 2018, Robert was found guilty of tampering with public records and an official misdemeanor and received 15 days in jail. Dolores initially held her son Jimmy responsible for the murder, but later blamed the police. Dolores is questioned by a deputy about Jimmy possibly breaking into the Hiltz residence on August 10, 2006, which leads to an argument with Candace. The Hiltz family discovered their dog’s body in the woods behind their trailer three days after the altercation.
Dolores insisted that the police allegedly killed her daughter and the dog and messed up the investigation to hide their crime. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, however, strongly denied the accusations and even provided evidence linking Jimmy to the murder. The testimony of Jimmy’s ex-wife and Jesse’s, both describing Jimmy’s sporadic violence, is obtained by the police. The murder weapons were among the items taken in a series of local break-ins in which Jimmy was a suspect.
However, the most damning evidence is a bone discovered by detectives near the house where Jimmy lived at the time of the murder. Investigators presented their case to the district attorney and it matched the victim’s DNA. Dolores strongly disputes the circumstantial evidence implicating her son in her son’s murder while the police await action on the investigation, and maintains that the authorities had something to do with her son’s death.
