Candace "Candi" Hiltz was only seventeen years old.
A gifted student who taught herself calculus at eleven, earned acceptance to Stanford at sixteen, and dreamed of serving on the United States Supreme Court, her future appeared limitless. Instead, on August 15, 2006, Candace was murdered inside her Colorado home while caring for her infant daughter.
Nearly twenty years later, her family is still searching for justice.
In this standalone Dark Dialogue Victim Tribute, we set aside the investigation to remember the remarkable young woman behind the headlines—her intelligence, compassion, determination, and the life that should have been.
Featuring "Comfort in the Night" by the JJ Hawk Band, this tribute honors Candace's memory and recognizes the unwavering strength of her family, who continue their fight for answers.

What is Dark Dialogue?
Dark Dialogue is an investigative true crime podcast that breaks down complex cases through evidence, timelines, and critical analysis.
Hosted by John and Angela, each episode goes beyond the headlines to examine what actually happened—exploring forensic details, investigative decisions, and the questions that remain unanswered.
As John walks through the case, Angela challenges assumptions, asks the questions listeners are thinking, and pushes the conversation deeper—turning each episode into a detailed, real-time examination of the facts.
From cold cases and controversial investigations to courtroom battles and overlooked evidence, Dark Dialogue focuses on one goal: understanding the truth, not just retelling the story.
