On February 7, 1999, 39-year-old moving-company owner Paul Skiba, his nine-year-old daughter Sarah Skiba, and a 35-year-old employee, Lorenzo Chivers, left for a routine job in the Morrison, Colorado area and never returned. They were driving Paul’s distinctive 1978 white Chevrolet moving truck, about 25 feet long and marked with a red crescent moon on its sides.
Six days later, on February 13, 1999, the truck was found abandoned in an apartment-complex parking lot in Thornton, Colorado. Investigators found signs of a struggle and a substantial amount of blood in the cab and cargo bay; forensic testing later confirmed the blood was Paul Skiba’s. No trace of Paul, Sarah, or Lorenzo was ever found, and the case shifted from a missing-person investigation to a presumed homicide.
The investigation produced leads and identified persons of interest, including someone who had a contentious business relationship with Paul and whose new wife had once been involved with him, but no arrests were filed. The case remains open and cold, and Westminster police continue to seek information. Did anyone in the Morrison or Thornton area in February 1999 see that 1978 white Chevrolet moving truck or the three people who vanished that day?
