An individual found guilty of two homicides, who received a death penalty and was awaiting capital punishment on Death Row, provided a distressing account of their experience prior to committing suicide in order to avoid execution.

In Nevada, a 48-year-old named Scott Dozier killed two individuals, decapitating one of them, and it was thought that the victim’s head had been buried in concrete.

Dozier, who was scheduled to be executed later that year in the new chamber at Nevada State Prison Ely, died in January 2019, having been executed for $860,000.

Dozier was born in Boulder, Nevada City and had two siblings. He enlisted in the Army before November 1990 and was discharged honorably in August 1992.

In 1993, after starting a relationship in high school, he married Angela Drake, with whom he had a son named Ashton on New Year’s Day 1991. However, the couple eventually went through a divorce.

In his mid-20s, Dozier was primarily earning his income from the manufacturing and trade of methamphetamine between Nevada and Arizona.

Brutal murders

Jeremiah Miller met Dozier on April 18, 2002, at La Concha motel on the Las Vegas Strip, where Miller promised to assist Dozier in acquiring ephedrine, a crucial ingredient for producing methamphetamine.

Miller had brought $12,000 in currency for the acquisition. However, as Miller arrived at La Concha, Dozier murdered him.

The worker discovered Miller’s head and arms in a suitcase a week after they were dumped near the apartment complex in Las Vegas. He then sawed his body into multiple parts.

At a casino, friends were informed that Dozier had acquired $12,000 after purportedly taking Miller’s money, and subsequently indulged in extravagant shopping while under investigation by the police.

On July 27, 2001, the murder of Jasen ‘Griffin’ Greene, to which he was also connected, occurred. Greene’s decomposed body was discovered in the northern desert of Phoenix, Arizona.

Dozier allegedly shot Greene at a trailer in Carefree, Arizona, after a confrontation in which Greene threatened to expose Dozier’s meth operation.

Doug Powell, a previous accomplice of Dozier in the drug trade, admitted that he and another individual had assisted Dozier in getting rid of Greene’s body, providing details about the heinous act of murdering Greene.

Dozier claimed during his trial that upon finding Greene’s lifeless body, he chose not to report it to the authorities due to apprehensions about his methamphetamine manufacturing operation, when he returned to the trailer.

Powell claimed that Dozier had been in contact with him, forgetting to remove a tattoo on Miller’s back, which was one of the tattoos used to link missing persons to Miller.

During the trial for the murder of Dozier Miller, the prosecution argued that several witnesses had spoken to Dozier, claiming to have seen an electric room along with other evidence in the hotel. However, the prosecution also argued that there wasn’t enough physical evidence to prove that the man had murdered Dozier Miller.

In September 2007, Miller’s trial for murder took place and he was then extradited to Nevada. After that, Dozier was sentenced to 22 years in prison for the murder of Greene in 2005.

Consequently, he received capital punishment on October 3, 2007, validated by the Nevada Supreme Court on January 23, 2012.

Chilling final message

Before his death, Dozier left the Mirror with a startling overview of his perspectives, including his granddaughter, his offenses, and his period on Death Row.

During the stage conversations, Martin Paul, a respected documentary maker, indicated that he took his own life. He dictated his speech and conducted a series of interviews for his documentary.

Rather than keeping the secrets of his victims’ deaths concealed forever, he ultimately chose to end his own life. Nevertheless, he insisted that the State carry out his execution for the crimes he committed and had ceased to challenge his sentence.

Here is his ultimate message:.

Deciding whether to proceed or refrain from proceeding, someone unpleasant instructing me on my actions, five yards cannot be traversed without someone unpleasant obstructing my path. The quality of my existence has diminished to the point where it is no longer meaningful.

Discussing the more intricate aspects of assaulting someone, and I must reside among individuals who have committed homicide; there are 48 prison cells allocated for each of us on Death Row.

In Nevada, I was convicted of killing a 22-year-old person and cutting up their body. Interestingly, this person was also a criminal.

Society now regards me in the same way as those dreadful creatures.

By the time you peruse this, I will most likely be deceased.

Some people are fighting tooth and nail to stay alive, unlike me. I’m a coward, while others say I’m courageous.

One elderly gentleman has been here since 1979. I am the sole individual volunteering for criticism.

I’ve had to persist in smiling and being polite to individuals I regard as reprehensible.

It would be heartbreaking. I don’t want my granddaughter to only know her grandfather through a prison table, and I remember my amazing grandfather. I have a granddaughter now, but I have simply refused to ever see her.

And that kind of stuff, investigating trees and investigating cars, I am unable to demonstrate her anything similar to what I encountered – a bond between a grandfather and grandchild ought to be engaging and awesome.

My relatives trust me and I have clarified to them that I would prefer to be deceased than endure this. She does not recall me as the individual she had to encounter in a prison; instead, she envisions the person I truly am, particularly when I am no longer alive.

It’s similar to having cancer, I’ve informed them, and not desiring therapy.

In my family, there were instances of suicides, and I, as a child, experienced abuse. Due to this situation, I developed a deep resentment towards the claims made in court hearings. Unfortunately, my favorite grandfather ended up taking his own life.

I actually had a relatively decent childhood and a short spell in the US army and a short marriage. I take responsibility for my own actions.

In my Death Row cell, there is a picture of me wearing a beret and standing next to my youthful spouse.

I embrace the uncertainty of death rather than the familiarity of this existence.

Following one’s demise, there is the potential for remarkable opportunities. I have consistently been inclined to approach challenges head-on, although I might inadvertently be immersing myself in a chaotic situation.

I would rather be dead than believe that my family imagines me as a dead person. She doesn’t remember me as the man she had met inside jail, but rather as someone she would rather forget.

I take responsibility for my own actions. Moreover, I had a fairly good childhood, followed by a brief marriage and a short stint in the United States army.

I embrace the uncertainty of death rather than the familiarity of this existence.

After passing away, there might be remarkable opportunities. I’ve consistently been someone who embraces challenges, but I might be unknowingly heading into a chaotic situation.

Even though I am a nonbeliever, I am thrilled to uncover what lies ahead. Most likely, nothing.

The State of Nevada suggested an undesirable method using questionable lethal substances – nevertheless, I made every effort to ensure it would result in my demise.

Instead of being injected and strapped to a gurney, I would much rather be able to look the executioner in the eye and be shot by a firing squad.

A firing squad is decisive and it’s cost-effective.

I occasionally exercise and give myself a haircut. I enjoy listening to heavy metal music and making phone calls most days. I can also do watercolours and art here.

But that’s not living. What I long for is an infinite array.

I am unable to have any close relationships. Everything in my life is at a minimal level.

World this exit I that means the whatever – much saying be not will I but. Arriving are moments last my now.

I do not owe the killing of the two convicted men to anyone, and I do not owe it to the State either. I am not going to give anyone the satisfaction of telling them what I owe to the State.

However, I genuinely feel sorrow for the families of these men.

I decided to live beyond the boundaries of legality. If you engage with a more powerful entity, you will face severe consequences – the government possesses the authority to take my life.

Since high school, I have chosen to make money by selling drugs, as it gave me the freedom to pursue my lifestyle.

Only individuals with a criminal background, excluding children or women, have ever made allegations against me regarding homicide. It is of great significance to me that I have consistently adhered to a stringent set of moral principles, although you may find this difficult to accept.

When you are operating outside the law, it is important to protect yourself in a way that not only complies with the law, but also ensures that you do not disproportionately impact others.

What troubles me is that I would never steal. However, it is not true. The State alleged that I had appropriated $12,000 which he had brought to purchase narcotics.

I’m not even certain why I’m completing this final project. I’m not advocating for any alterations. Nothing is going to be transformed.

I’ve never been one to cower or hide – I don’t know this, but. You must stand on your own feet, not live on your knees, I believe.

Now I, Scott Dozier, declare: Let’s accomplish it. Farewell.
