Dozier was transferred from Carson City to Ely in September 2011. Ten days later, on November 10, the Nevada Department of Corrections publicly announced the completion of the new lethal injection chamber at Ely State Prison, following the May 18, 2012, closure of the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, which had housed the state's former gas chamber which had been converted to be compatible with lethal injections.

Dozier was arrested on June 25, 2002, in Phoenix, Arizona. The suitcase was discovered by a worker the following week. Upon Miller's arrival at La Concha, Dozier killed him (likely by shooting), sawed Miller's body into multiple pieces, stuffed most of them into a suitcase, and disposed of it near an apartment complex in western Las Vegas. Miller had brought $12,000 in cash for that purpose. Dozier had promised to help Miller buy ephedrine, a key ingredient in the production of methamphetamine. On April 18, 2002, Jeremiah Miller met Dozier at La Concha, a motel on the Las Vegas Strip. Dozier had commented on his enjoyment of "living outside the law" in the months leading up to his scheduled execution. By his mid-20s, he was making much of his income from the production and sale of methamphetamine, during the course of which he would alternate between Nevada and Arizona, the two states in which he was convicted of murder. In his adulthood, Dozier briefly served in the United States military, married Angela Drake, who he had begun dating in high school, and had a son from that marriage. His father worked for federal water projects throughout the American West and he had two siblings. Scott Dozier was born on November 20, 1970, in Boulder City, Nevada.
