The 22-year-old woman brutally killed in Greeley late last month didn't know her attacker. Angie Vega was killed in her family's business and then moved into her car, which was left at a convenience store where officers found her body several hours later on Aug. 26. Police initially weren't sure if the two people knew each other.
