Colorado Springs, CO: Affidavit: Victim Lured To Home, Shot, Robbed

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A woman charged in the murder of an ex-boyfriend admitted to police that she met him in a bar the day before and called him 16 times, inviting him to her home so he could be killed.
The accusations are contained in a six-page arrest warrant filed prior to the arrests of the woman and her new boyfriend by El Paso County Sheriff's investigators.
Robert Miles, 55, was shot in the abdomen Saturday night at the Calhan home of his ex-girlfriend, Traci Adams, and her new boyfriend, Mark Manyik, El Paso County sheriff's officials said.

Miles was airlifted from the shooting and pronounced dead at a Colorado Springs hospital. The coroner ruled the death a homicide on Monday.

Manyik, 48, and Adams, 47, who originally reported the incident as a home invasion and burglary, were arrested on investigation of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and tampering with physical evidence, sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Mike Schaller said.
Adams admitted under questioning that she had lured Miles to her home in a way that would make it appear Miles entered the home without permission so that he could be shot and killed by Manyik, according to an arrest affidavit. She told the victim in a final phone call, four minutes before he was shot, to just walk in the front door, the affidavit stated.
Manyik told investigators he was waiting with a 12-gauge shotgun and that Adams pleaded with him not to shoot before he pulled the trigger, the affidavit said.
Adams told investigators that the front door to the home was left intentionally unlocked so that Miles could enter and be shot, the arrest affidavit stated. Adams admitted taking a cell phone from Miles after he was shot, still alive and moving on the floor, the same affidavit stated.
Manyik corroborated Adam's version of what happened, according to the affidavit.
Both denied taking money from the victim after he was shot. Friends said Miles had $700 in cash just prior to the shooting but the money has not been found.
Manyik and Adams said they disposed of Miles' cell phone by taking it apart and throwing it out on a highway the day after the slaying.
Investigators said they recovered a voicemail from Manyik that was made the day before the slaying in which Manyik said he was going to shoot the victim in the "belly" with a 12-gauge.
Miles died from a shotgun wound in the lower torso.
