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.
