Early one morning in-may, 1997, a couple on the way to work in the mountains of Colorado noticed a guy dragging a body up a remote trail. The stunning, densely wooded area off a mud road seemed this incongruous place for a violent criminal offense that initially the couple experienced trouble believing what these were seeing. It was all too real; the man fled, leaving behind a bloody, dying woman. Indeed, the investigation into the fatality of young street-walker Anita Paley would lead from that idyllic spot to the seamy underbelly of Denver and a world of prostitution, drug retailers, and violent scammers.

But which would she choose?
