It took 18 years, but police finally determined conclusively who it was who snatched 5-year-old Alie Berrelez from her Englewood apartment at 200 W. Grand Ave. in Englewood.
Englewood police recently announced there was a DNA match to a long-suspected neighbor, 32-year- old Nicholas Randolph Stofer, who killed her, stuffed her body in a military-style duffle bag on May 18, 1993 and tossed her body beside a road.
Four days after she went missing, a police bloodhound named Yogi later followed her scent more than 10 miles to the mouth of Deer Creek Canyon and found Alie’s body.
Denver Post reporter Kevin Vaughan describes how a detective put the cold case together.
