Paul Carroll Skiba (born February 23, 1960),[3] his daughter Sarah Arielle Skiba (born July 27, 1989),[4] and Lorenzo DeShawn Chivers (born November 5, 1962),[5] an employee of Skiba's moving business, disappeared under mysterious circumstances in Westminster, Colorado, United States, on February 7, 1999.[6]
On the day they went missing, Sarah accompanied her father Paul, who owned the Tuff Movers company in Westminster, on a job along with his employee Chivers. The three were last seen in Morrison that evening. Sarah was reported missing by her mother after Paul failed to return her home from her weekend visitation; at this time, it was discovered that Paul and Chivers were also missing. A moving truck located at the Tuff Movers lot was subsequently discovered with bullet holes in its side, blood evidence, as well as a portion of human scalp near its windshield; a metal extension ramp for the truck was also missing from the lot.
The disappearances of the Skibas and Chivers received national attention, and were profiled on The Montel Williams Show, America's Most Wanted, and by journalist Nancy Grace. In 2016, their names were included on a list of missing persons as part of a Colorado Senate bill petitioning for a statewide Missing Persons Day,[7] which was signed into law on February 5 of that year.[8] As of 2022, the whereabouts of the Skibas and Chivers are still unknown, though law enforcement suspects foul play in their disappearances,[9] and they are each presumed victims of homicide.[b]
