Weld County Sheriff's Office

The Weld County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help identifying a woman whose skeletal remains were found four miles west of Platteville nearly 49 years ago.

Alexis Hein-Nutz, the off-duty Weld County Sheriff's Office deputy who was killed in a hit-and-run crash north of Greeley last weekend, would have celebrated her 25th birthday today.

The suspect in Sunday's hit-and-run crash north of Greeley that killed off-duty Weld County Sheriff's Deputy Alexis Hein-Nutz is now behind bars.

The Weld County Sheriff's Office is mourning the loss of one of its deputies and is asking for the public's help in finding the man they say killed her.

The suspect had also walked onto their back porch and peered in their windows. The man was carrying a rifle or possibly a shotgun.

Other investigations involving him by ''several neighboring agencies" in addition to the sheriff's office are also underway, according to the post.

Deputies opened the car door to try to prevent the driver from leaving but he shifted in reverse, striking a deputy with the door and dragging him several feet.

''Hillyer was arrested Thursday and booked at 3:03 p.m. into the Weld County Jail on one count of sexual conduct in a correctional institution, a Class 5 felony.''

Faudoa had been convicted in 2019 of second-degree assault charges in connection with strangulation. He had been sentenced to six years in prison but had been released after serving 20 months.

The suspect, a 60-year-old white man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
