On July 7, 2013, 17-year-old Molly Miller and 22-year-old Colt Haynes disappear in Love County after a car chase with police. The car was driven by a friend, James Con Nipp. Police lost the vehicle somewhere in the area of Long Hollow Rd. and Oswalt Rd in Love County, Oklahoma. Miller and Haynes disappear after the pursuit.
Nipp was prosecuted for the car chase in 2014, but no one has been charged in the disappearances of Colt and Molly.
In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, talks with retired FBI special agent Maureen O’Connell about the disappearance of Molly Miller and Colt Haynes.
Together, they recount their journey investigating this case, sharing insights into their process of collecting potential evidence, unique challenges presented when investigating potential water-based crime scenes, and interpreting crime scene clues, and much more.
