On the night of September 17, 1994, 32-year-old Marchel Fay Missy Berry was shot and killed in Colorado Springs while driving to make a nightly bank deposit after closing the Arby's where she worked. Her car was found stopped at an intersection with Berry inside; the deposits she was carrying were missing and the shooting was described as execution-style, so robbery was an early theory.

Investigators focused on co-workers. Darren Haney told police that George Clifford Cliff McDaniel had expressed hatred toward Berry weeks before the killing and had said he wanted her dead, reportedly after Berry criticized his work and called him a mommy’s boy. A patrol officer recalled seeing a man matching McDaniel’s description in the restaurant parking lot around the time Berry left, and McDaniel lived a block from where her car was found.

McDaniel fled to Liverpool, England, but was later captured and returned to Colorado Springs to face charges. He was convicted for Berry’s murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Does anyone have memories of Missy, the Arby’s staff, or details from that night that might add context?
