Lawyers for Casey Anthony say Texas EquuSearch's Tim Miller may be able to prove their client is not a murderer.

HOUSTON - Two years after Caylee Anthony vanished, the murder case remains in the national spotlight. The investigation into her disappearance and eventual murder led police to arrest Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony.
Lawyers for Casey Anthony are focusing on a Houston area man in their efforts defend the only person arrested in Caylee's death. They say Texas EquuSearch's Tim Miller may be able to prove their client isn't a murderer.
The defense wants the names and phone numbers of the thousands of volunteers who helped with the search. Miller has consistently refused, claiming the release of that information would make it difficult to find volunteers in future high-profile cases like this.
A lawyer for Anthony's parents stepped down Monday after seeing some of the search documents, claiming they invalidated part of the defense's case.
"It's a circus. It's a show. It's to distract everybody from what it's really about," Miller said.
The defense claimed volunteers tampered with evidence. EquuSearch never found the body. It was recovered after the search had been called off due to high water following a tropical storm. Caylee's body was found after the water dried up.
"Houdini couldn't have found Caylee Anthony's body. Everybody did the best they could do," Miller said.
The defense wants the names of the roughly 4,000 EquuSearch volunteers who helped. Miller wants to protect those volunteers, who he said did nothing wrong.
"This is sending a terrible message. Who would want to volunteer if they're afraid that their information is going to be given to some defense attorney who's a nobody?" questioned Miller.
The lawyer for George and Cindy Anthony stepped down after reviewing thousands of Texas EquuSearch documents, claiming he now knows the defense is flawed.
Brad Conway released this statement Monday:
"I am now a witness to an inaccurate legal pleading filed in our court system."
Meanwhile, Miller said the case has cost him $108,000 and forced him to turn down roughly 25 families that genuinely needed his help.
After the trial he is ready to be done with the Anthonys forever.
"They're the most cold-hearted family in the United States of America," Miller said.
The Anthony trial is set to begin next spring.

TM will be a very credulous witness for the prosecution. He will give testimony on the insight to the Anthony clan. He states in this video, the Anthony's are the most cold hearted family in the United States of America. You go Mr. Miller, you are God's Angel here on earth. You will be the best witness against the defense. I do wish you all the best as you continue to help families find their loved ones. You did right when you called off two searches...Poor Caylee's skeletal remains were scattered across that swamp. Her little body was eaten by the creatures that live in that swamp, dragging her little bones with them. When the jury gets to hear this, they will cry at the thought of this precious child being thrown away like trash. They will become angry when they hear of the duct tape over her little face...
Inmate Anthony's days are numbered...I await a guilty verdict and Justice for Caylee...JMHO

Re: All Things Texas EquuSearch
With deadlines approaching, surely the defense will want Judge Perry's response ASAP...Wonder if this motion will be handled at the next court date...I believe that will fall within the 15 day time period, or if Judge Perry will go ahead and OK it with out further adieu....How come it has taken Bozo and Co. so long to finally come up with an agreeable fix to the TES dilemma??? There is serious doubt in my mind if anything concrete will result in the questioning of the TES participants...

I just love Mark NeJame...he's got Caylee's justice in mind and she will get justice. Baez was right there as MN tells this to CMason...huge smirk from Baez for he got the reaction he was reaching for. He is no where in the same league as MN...he is a professional all the way and Baez, well...his eight years to become an attorney tells it true...
http://humbleopinionforum.net/2010/05/12/recap-who-is-jose-a-baez/Well, looks like the truth is coming out on Baez, J.A.B. For 8 years after graduation, the board that screens prospective attorneys in FL, would not let Baez practice law. The FL Supreme Court agreed with this decision due to unpaid bills, extravagant spending and other “financial irresponsibility” at that time. Before he was admitted to the FL Bar, he had to demonstrate that he had rehabilitated himself.
Noted, his behavior showed “a total lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law.”
Seems to me, nothing changed about Baez except that he's been accepted to practice law. Seems his behaviors are still the same...JMHO

Casey Defense To Search Docs For New Witness
Lawyers Hoping To Find Volunteer Who Searched Area, Found Nothing
UPDATED: 5:01 pm EDT September 30, 2010
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Next week, Casey Anthony’s defense team will search through thousands of Texas Equusearch records.
Anthony’s lawyers are hoping to find a credible volunteer who will say that he or she searched in an area where Caylee Anthony’s remains were later found but nothing was discovered at the time.
Prosecutors already have several sworn statements from volunteers who say that the area was submerged, increasing the likelihood that the remains were placed there before the rains came and Casey Anthony was locked up.

What a huge wase of time, energy and money...Cheney already said (somewhere along the line) that he knew that the area was under water...so what is he trying to prove...I know the defense is trying hard to prove that their client didn't put Caylee in the woods, but so far(from what I've read) their theory doesn't compute...

Casey's Defense Examines EquuSearch's Records

Updated: 1:35 pm EDT October 4, 2010
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's lawyers were looking over all of Texas EquuSearch's records Monday. The defense says some volunteers claim to have searched the area where Caylee Anthony's body was found months earlier and found nothing, which could prove someone else is the murderer.
VIDEO REPORT: Lawyers Reviewing Records
It took the defense two hours to go over EquuSearch records. They are trying to find volunteers who said they searched the area where Caylee's body was found. The volunteers searched in August and September of 2008, which was months before Caylee was found.

Re: All Things Texas EquuSearch
This is ridiculous, but so are most things the defense tries to do or say. The area was so badly submerged that TE lost a four-wheeler during the search. Nobody can say with certainty that they searched the exact location of Caylee's remains and found nothing.
To top it off, in my opinion somebody told DC specifically where to look for Caylee's remains and he still couldn't find them as late as November because of the bad conditions in the area.

Re: All Things Texas EquuSearch
Exactly, J4A.... and here's the thing that bugs me most of all.......
Even IF someone did search that EXACT area (which they couldn't have, as it was under water), that PROVES NOTHING! Caylee was reduced to little bones (so sorry for that image) that were scattered all over the area by the time we ever even heard her name for the very first time. It is even written in Caylee's autopsy report that she could have been completely skeletonized in less than a month (most likely within 2 weeks), given the heat and rain in that area at that time of year. That area was very dense with weeds and undergrowth (and has become so again since it was cleared for the search of her remains). Little tiny bones, even a skull, would have been VERY easy to miss!!!
Every time someone from the A camp opens their mouth, it just serves to infuriate me more!!

Casey Anthony defense search for Texas EquuSearch volunteers
By Jacqueline Fell , Reporter
Last Updated: Monday, October 04, 2010 3:15 PM
ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony's defense attorneys say they have new witnesses who may have searched the area where Caylee's remains were eventually found. They say it could prove someone other than Casey killed Caylee.
They're sorting through thousands of pages of documents belonging to the search group Texas EquuSearch.
"In about 2.5 hours, we discovered over 50 new witnesses who all the records said had not been on Suburban Drive. [And they] have just told us over the phone that they were," said Cheney Mason, Anthony attorney.
One of those witnesses could be key to proving the defense’s theory that Caylee's body was dumped a quarter of a mile from her home after her mother was arrested -- meaning someone else killed the toddler.

Is there a Texas EquuSearch volunteer who will raise reasonable doubt?
posted by halboedeker on October, 4 2010 6:24
~ Snipped ~
WFTV-Ch. 9’s Kathi Belich said 32 EquuSearch volunteers were officially searching the area two years ago, but the defense believes more were there. “The defense wants to try to show that Caylee’s body was not placed there until after Oct. 14 of 2008, when Casey was locked up on no bond to try to prove Casey couldn’t have put Caylee’s body there,” Belich said.
Belich also followed up her report that investigators believe a volunteer might have falsified documents in the search. Volunteeer Laura Buchanan has said she found nothing in her search of the area, the Anthony defense team says. But, Belich added, “Another volunteer says Buchanan is working with the defense and is using a fake document to prove her claim.”
EquuSearch founder Tim Miller told Belich that the allegations wouldn’t be taken lightly and that he spent a lot of time and money on the search.
Did Buchanan doctor documents? “Absolutely not,” defense attorney Cheney Mason told Belich.

Kyron Horman and Tim Miller: Searching For Bones
Monday, October 04, 2010
By Seamus O'Riley
A sad admission but a surprise to no one. Having been instructed not to talk to the press, one still managed to. The police likely have good reason to be searching the island and since Kyron has been gone since June 4th, the summer weather would have taken its toll, unless water impeded the decomposition process.
Question: Why not Texas Equasearch?
Answer: I do not know. I can speculate, however.
"The Cindy Anthony Effect".
For those of us who follow the Casey Anthony case, we know that Cindy Anthony is capable of much cruelty. We have seen her as acutely neglectful of her granddaughter (see prior analysis and commentary) and we have seen her willing to put to death an innocent man or woman in exchange for Casey Anthony's life.
Objection: What does this have to do with Texas Equasearch and Tim Miller?
Tim Miller's Texasequasearch was conceived in tragedy, and its work is in the midst of tragedy.
By the time he is called in, many cases are concluded that they are looking for a body.
It is constant sadness.
The secondary trauma must be severe.
But there is one thing that Tim Miller could always count on in his difficult, costly, and emotionally devastating work:
he could bring closure to a grieving and broken family.
When a family finally meets Miller, he is a source of comfort and will "bring 'em home" for proper burial. It is beyond description for me to consider what a parent must feel thinking their child is "out there" in the wilderness, and not in a proper burial. Stephen King once said that in his most wild imagination he cannot compare the horror of what a parent does to himself in worrying what might happen to his child.
As a father, I agree.

So the defense has gone from "50" to "scores" to now "100"...
Casey Anthony's lawyers review Texas EquuSearch documents today – find new searchers
Compiled by Orlando Sentinel
6:13 p.m. EDT, October 4, 2010
Casey Anthony's lawyers reviewed thousands of Texas EquuSearch records at the Orange County courthouse today and said they found 100 names of people who searched in and around Suburban Drive soon after Caylee Marie Anthony went missing in mid-2008.
These are names, they say, that were not previously provided to the defense.
Those searchers could be important to Casey Anthony's defense, her attorneys say, because they may help them establish a timeline indicating that the 2-year-old child's body was placed in a wooded area after her mother was put in jail or came under close watch in the disappearance.
"There is, in our opinion, reasonable evidence to infer that the body was moved to that location after a time when Casey Anthony could not have done so," said her attorney Cheney Mason, adding that his client was either in jail or under intense scrutiny by the time.

Re: All Things Texas EquuSearch
All righty then...If that's your story and you're sticking to it then answer me this...doesn't Caylee's decomp in car trunk indicate that a deceased Caylee was in said car trunk...Casey abandoned her car at Amscot with an empty car trunk...just where was the decedent at that point if not where Casey left her...That is really a far stretch of the imagination to think that someone else had the decaying body, kept it for a time then disposed of it in the woods after the water receded...Will the wool be pulled over the eyes of the jury? I think not and I can't wait to hear from those "other" TES searchers...Wonder if they're in it for their 15 min of fame...Bozo and Chinny are gonna have Crow before this trial is over...I can't wait to hear the courtroom laughter...

Defense to plant doubt in Casey Anthony case
By Jacqueline Fell, Reporter
Last Updated: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 12:45 PM
ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony's defense team says it has dozens of new witnesses who could help create doubt when the case goes to trial.
For the second day, Anthony's defense is calling volunteers with Texas EquuSearch. They are looking for anyone who may have been in the area where Caylee Anthony's remains were eventually found.
So far, the defense says they have nearly 100 people who say they searched Suburban Drive with Texas EquuSearch or on their own.
The session is behind closed doors at the watchful eye of an appointed magistrate.

So they say they have found 100 people who have searched Suburban Drive... what they don't say is WHAT area of Suburban Drive...... that's a pretty big area, and not all of it was under water.
Also, if someone searched on their own, and not with the organized searches of TES... that is not the problem of TES.
Can anyone say DESPERATE????

Documents Could Damage Casey Anthony Defense
Updated: 6:25 pm EDT October 5, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. -- There's a new blow to the defense in the case against Casey Anthony. Documents uncovered by WFTV raise questions about a key defense witness.
DOCUMENTS: EquuSearch Records Contradict Witness Story
VIDEO REPORT: Docs Released In Casey Case
That witness swore she saw nothing when she searched a spot in east Orange County where, months later, Caylee's body was found. But WFTV obtained documents and a new witness contradicting her story.
A document shows EquuSearch volunteer Laura Buchanan wasn't with a team of volunteers, at the site Caylee's body was later found, the day she says she was. The document instead says she and the group of volunteers searched Blanchard Park that day and one of the volunteers, who was with her, says they never went to the woods on Suburban Drive that day.

WFTV just added raw video of Kathi Belich pressing Baez about the damaging docs regarding Laura Buchanan. It is classic. "I don't know" is one of Bozo's favorite answers in this video.

Estee, did you search with TES? If not, I don't believe the defense would have any knowledge of your presence there on Suburban Drive.
I just can't see JP giving the OK for the defense to "expand" their investigation of all these people they say they have found that were in that area.....
Fear not!!!!

This is a message from Mark Nejame: It seems he and his office have gotten numerous calls and emails from TES searchers who have been called. As I understand it some of these calls have been from private cell phones and the searchers are now concerned that the defense has their number in the cell phones memory. Some have felt their concerns were being trivialized by Mr. Nejame......this is in response to those concerns.
We've spent endless hours working through this, so trivializing we're not. It's been the whole basis of our objections is to protect the searchers. However, our position cannot be trivialized by them...Judge Perry was absolutely leaning towards allowing them more access...my belief is so that they wouldn't have a basis for appeal or a new trial. Reading that, we designed a compromise that would gut that issue for the defense but still provide anonymity to the searchers. People may complain, but no names have been made public. The last thing the searchers would want is for Casey to have an appeal granted when/if convicted and the appellate court rule that the files are to be made completely available and accessible. We've effectively stopped that. Thanks once again and feel free to keep getting the word out. Remember, multiple TES volunteers are in the room, monitoring all calls and all this is overseen by the Magistrate the entire time. No notes are being taken so there is no way to relate the numbers called to any of the specific names or searchers. A TES volunteer is overseeing every call and making sure the limitations in the court order is complied with.

Casey Anthony's defense to ask for more time to review Texas EquuSearch documents
By Jacqueline Fell, Reporter
Last Updated: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 6:39 PM
ORANGE COUNTY -- Casey Anthony's defense team will ask a judge for more time to review documents with Texas EquuSearch and look for potential witnesses.
On Monday and Tuesday, the defense called volunteers looking for anyone who might have been in the area months prior to where Caylee Anthony's remains were eventually found.
At the watchful eye of an appointed magistrate, the defense called hundreds of volunteers and said they found about 150 people who said they were in the Suburban Drive area.

Question concerning Laura Buchanan/TES documents
Posted on October 12th, 2010 by Valhall
WFTV recently published an article entitled Documents Could Damage Casey Anthony Defense in which they discuss the Texas Equusearch documents that show Laura Buchanan was with a TES search group at Blanchard Park on September 3, 2008 when she claims she was at the location on Suburban Drive where Caylee’s remains would ultimately be found. With that article they included a link to previously released TES documents which place Laura at Blanchard park. On pages 2 and 4 of that linked pdf are the TES “Field Team Activity” forms for the search at Jay Blanchard Park.
My question is whether any of you have determined why these two documents are the same only with additional (and different) information written in for the two versions? Does TES use carbon copies and pass copies of the same form to different “leaders” of a TES search group? I have included a composite image of the two forms demarcating the locations on the two versions of the TES documents that appear to be identical. (Click the image for a full-size view.)

Casey Defense Witness Backs Out Of Questioning

Updated: 6:41 pm EDT October 12, 2010
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A key witness, who could help defend Casey Anthony, backed out of being questioned under oath about falsifying documents, but Texas EquuSearch volunteer Laura Buchanan can't avoid prosecutors forever. She's under subpoena and she will have to answer their questions under oath about whether she made up a document to help Casey.

VIDEO REPORT: Witness Backs Out
Investigators are looking into allegations that Buchanan falsified records to make it appear as though Caylee Anthony's body was not in the woods near her house on Suburban Drive in September 2008. That was three months after Caylee disappeared, and three months before she was found.
Buchanan was to be deposed by prosecutors for a second time Wednesday about those records. However, Tuesday, Buchanan backed out saying she was ill.

She backed out because she's been backed into a corner with nowhere to go. She has to either lie under oath or admit that she falsified documents.

Laura Buchanan contracts Tighty Syndrome and cancels depo
Posted on October 12th, 2010 by Valhall
Laura Buchanan, the defense’s key and sole witness so far to refute the standing water that over 20 eye witnesses have attested to being present on Suburban Drive in the late days of August and into September has called in sick the day before her schedule sworn deposition. Sources (most likely unreliable but when Laura Buchanan is concerned who cares, right?) have reported she came down with a severe case of “Tighty Syndrome”. That’s when you realize you’re in a tight spot and you need R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

Re: All Things Texas EquuSearch
I imagine that the whole trial will be a game of semantics...It never ceases to amaze me the way people can twist words around to mean what they want them mean...A simple yes or no can be the answer, but given the question either answer can lead to incrimination...LEADING question?...don't elaborate...say what you mean and mean what you say...a long silent pause prior to the answer makes one think that one is trying to change the answer...when in fact it could mean that one is trying to understand the question...Rapid fire questions can be confusing and sometimes result in a mistatement...Mr. Lyons sure has a way of running with what he is told...Look how his innocent (?) questioning of MD backfired...And he never did get his story straight...

https://bs-ba.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=32688452199&topic=5493
Tim Millers Daughter LAURA MILLER.
I have never read this story of Tim Miller's life....... It touched me deeply. Wanted to share:
In 1984, Tim Miller's life was profoundly altered. His daughter, Laura, was missing. The last time anyone had seen the 16-year-old was at a local convenience store, talking on the phone. When Miller discusses what happened to Laura, he likes to start at the beginning, because she did not have an easy time in this world and her murder was just one of many things that had happened to her.
Laura Miller
"Laura had a lot of struggles in her life," he says. "When she was six months old, she got very sick and we almost lost her. She was in a coma for a day and a half, but then she came out of that and her fever went down. She seemed all right, but years later she had a seizure, because the fever had left scar tissue in her brain. So for about seven years we struggled with her seizure problem. Then eventually she grew out of it and became an A and B student. She loved music and sang all the time. She was popular in school and had a lot of friends. It looked like she would be all right."
But she wasn't. When Laura was eleven, she came down with the flu, which gave her yet another high fever, with the return of the seizures. "Her whole life was kind of stripped away from her," Miller muses. The family felt disheartened by this set-back. But the worst was yet to come.
The Millers moved to a new house, and Tim and his wife worked different shifts. One day he went to work, while Laura's mother took Laura to the payphone at the local convenience store so she could talk with her boyfriend, Vernon. When her mother asked her to hurry up because she'd be late for work, Laura wanted to continue talking. "It's only half a mile," she said. "I'll walk."
That seemed all right. It was the middle of the day and Laura knew her way back. But she didn't come back. When her parents returned home from work, she wasn't there.
"We didn't think a lot about it," says Miller. "We just figured Laura got home early, and her and Vernon took a walk. But then Vernon showed up without her and we asked where Laura was. He said he had talked to her on the phone, but he hadn't heard from her since. That's when we started getting concerned. We looked all over that night, and then we drove all over the neighborhood."
The next morning they went to the police department to file a missing person's report, but the officers dismissed Laura as a probable runaway. Miller said that was out of character for her and also noted that she had a serious seizure disorder and needed her medication. The officers had a response: girls her age were smart and could find what they needed on the street. That made little sense to Miller, but he did not know how to get them to do something.
As he looked frantically for possible avenues, he learned about a girl whom the police had found six months earlier, murdered and dumped somewhere off Calder Drive. He returned to the police station, and the officer with whom he spoke assured him that the murdered girl, Heidi, had worked in a bar, implying that whatever she got she was asking for. To them, it had been an isolated incident.
"Well, then about three days later," Miller says, "I found out that Heidi had lived only four blocks away from us." So he went back to the police and asked if they could at least tell him where Heidi had been found so he could go there and search the area himself. They refused to provide information, saying it was private property.
After five days without hearing from Laura, Miller knew in his heart that she was dead. "I didn't have a clue what to do. I think I tried to drink myself to death. I couldn't work. I lost my job. Laura's mother and I didn't have the best relationship and it certainly got worse. Every time our phone would ring, or someone would drive by the house slowly or knock on our door, I got heart palpitations. I didn't know if they were bringing me good news, that they'd found Laura and were bringing her home, or if they were bringing bad news that she was dead."
But for more than a year and a half, no one brought any news.
A year and a half dragged by with no information, and Miller was so depressed he contemplated suicide. Finally, he checked himself into a hospital for six days. That's where he was when he finally received some information: In the newspaper was an article that reported the discovery in a local field of the remains of two females. Some kids riding dirt bikes had smelled a foul odor in the area of Calder Road. The corpse they found had been dead four or five weeks, so it was fairly decomposed. When the police went to investigate, about six feet from that body was a set of skeletal remains. That meant that within two years, three dead girls had been left there. Apparently a serial killer had used the area as a dumping ground.
Laura's mother went down to the police station and said, "One of those girls could be my daughter." They requested some of Laura's clothes for a hair sample and her dental X-rays. After an analysis, one set of remains proved to be Laura's.
"I blamed the cops," Miller remembers. "I didn't think they were doing their jobs. If they would have gone out there the first day I asked them to, Laura would still have been dead, but there might have been evidence."
Miller went into another tailspin. He felt angry and guilty all at once. "I was the father," he recalls about his state of mind, "I was supposed to protect her and take care of her, and I had failed. I failed by not doing the right job, by not searching. I failed by not going to Heidi's family's house to find out where they'd found her. If I would have done that, maybe I would have found Laura tied up; maybe she would have been alive and I could have saved her. Or maybe I would have found her and it wouldn't have been months after the animals got to her. I beat myself up because I didn't do enough while Laura was missing."
At the same time, he felt a sense of relief. "Now at least I knew. I didn't have to worry about the heart palpitations every time the phone rang."
Still, the discovery and identification were only the start. Next came the investigation. "We had to answer questions about who Laura's friends were and who she hung out with." Worse, the police withheld information. "Even at the time she was found, they would not tell us where. The newspapers said it was the same field where Heidi had been found, but they wouldn't show us where it was. So Laura's mother and I went out and we found it on our own. We walked the fields and finally saw the little flags marking the crime scene. I learned then that her body had been scattered over a twenty foot radius. I was speechless at that time, just numb. I just couldn't believe it."
Miller and his wife wanted Laura's remains for a burial, but the coroner asked to keep them a while longer, and Miller agreed. He wanted to learn how Laura had died, but to his chagrin, the police kept the remains for another three years. But that still wasn't the end of it.
Police Misconduct
The Millers were finally allowed to bury Laura, but when they received the autopsy report, they were concerned enough about what it said to exhume the remains. They discovered that they had received only 28 bones, and then realized that some of Laura's remains had been sent to a medical facility for research. Although the officials said the remains had been sent in error, it was clear that they had profited, so Miller hired an attorney and sued them for $16 million. He won, but they appealed. Miller just wanted all of Laura's remains for burial, so he agreed to drop the suit if they returned the bones. "Finally we got to bury her and really say goodbye." But it had been an emotionally draining ordeal, and yet one more episode of police misconduct in the case.
Miller also learned that Laura and Heidi had both disappeared from the same convenience store pay phone, which meant that, had the police paid attention to him when he'd first filed the missing person's report, Laura might have been found alive. This realization made the ordeal much more painful. The police response clearly had been unconscionable.
Then there was more turmoil. As often happens when a child dies, Miller and his wife separated and divorced. He entered Alcoholics Anonymous and received counseling. "It was very painful but each day got better, unless there was new information or there were new leads." Then he'd remember and feel the pain all over again.
By 1991, he had stabilized, but then another set of female remains was found in the same area off Calder Road. The police developed a suspect, who worked for NASA, but in the end, the case went nowhere. Miller did not get the resolution for which he hoped. But his ordeal did evolve into an unforeseen benefit to himself and many others.

Tim Millers Daughter LAURA MILLER.
I have never read this story of Tim Miller's life....... It touched me deeply. Wanted to share:
In 1984, Tim Miller's life was profoundly altered. His daughter, Laura, was missing. The last time anyone had seen the 16-year-old was at a local convenience store, talking on the phone. When Miller discusses what happened to Laura, he likes to start at the beginning, because she did not have an easy time in this world and her murder was just one of many things that had happened to her.
Laura Miller
"Laura had a lot of struggles in her life," he says. "When she was six months old, she got very sick and we almost lost her. She was in a coma for a day and a half, but then she came out of that and her fever went down. She seemed all right, but years later she had a seizure, because the fever had left scar tissue in her brain. So for about seven years we struggled with her seizure problem. Then eventually she grew out of it and became an A and B student. She loved music and sang all the time. She was popular in school and had a lot of friends. It looked like she would be all right."
But she wasn't. When Laura was eleven, she came down with the flu, which gave her yet another high fever, with the return of the seizures. "Her whole life was kind of stripped away from her," Miller muses. The family felt disheartened by this set-back. But the worst was yet to come.
The Millers moved to a new house, and Tim and his wife worked different shifts. One day he went to work, while Laura's mother took Laura to the payphone at the local convenience store so she could talk with her boyfriend, Vernon. When her mother asked her to hurry up because she'd be late for work, Laura wanted to continue talking. "It's only half a mile," she said. "I'll walk."
That seemed all right. It was the middle of the day and Laura knew her way back. But she didn't come back. When her parents returned home from work, she wasn't there.
"We didn't think a lot about it," says Miller. "We just figured Laura got home early, and her and Vernon took a walk. But then Vernon showed up without her and we asked where Laura was. He said he had talked to her on the phone, but he hadn't heard from her since. That's when we started getting concerned. We looked all over that night, and then we drove all over the neighborhood."
The next morning they went to the police department to file a missing person's report, but the officers dismissed Laura as a probable runaway. Miller said that was out of character for her and also noted that she had a serious seizure disorder and needed her medication. The officers had a response: girls her age were smart and could find what they needed on the street. That made little sense to Miller, but he did not know how to get them to do something.
As he looked frantically for possible avenues, he learned about a girl whom the police had found six months earlier, murdered and dumped somewhere off Calder Drive. He returned to the police station, and the officer with whom he spoke assured him that the murdered girl, Heidi, had worked in a bar, implying that whatever she got she was asking for. To them, it had been an isolated incident.
"Well, then about three days later," Miller says, "I found out that Heidi had lived only four blocks away from us." So he went back to the police and asked if they could at least tell him where Heidi had been found so he could go there and search the area himself. They refused to provide information, saying it was private property.
