Coming in for a Lineup
Approximately one week later, she and her cousin noticed a car in the neighborhood that matched the description. She managed to get part of the license plate number, which she gave to the police. From that partial plate, police tracked down the sedan, and it led them to 29-year-old Twila Hoffman. She wasn’t the suspect, though.

She was living close to Mesa, Arizona. Hoffman was living with her boyfriend at the time, and his name was… Ernesto Miranda. He was detectives’ first and only suspect. When they knocked on the door, Miranda agreed to go into the station and participate in a lineup. He stood there for identification with three other men.
