Murdered for finding out the truth

One day back in 1991 a young lady named Jane Miller came to my office and told me about her husband David Miller. She went on to tell me that her and David got married in Las Vegas, Nevada some 6 months earlier. David Miller was a big wig with the Chamber of Commerce in California. Jane further advised me she had met David while flying from Orlando to California and fell immediately in love.

Now after six months she was getting second thoughts about the marriage explaining to me that David would always be in Orlando while she was in California or vice versa. She was in Orlando visiting with her family when she came to my office. She retained us to check out anything as to why David was continuously coming back to Orlando.

We checked out David Miller and found he had property listed in the Orlando area. The deed was made out to Dorothy and David Miller. Further check of the courthouse revealed a marriage certificate. David and Dorothy were married and there was no record of a divorce.

I notified my client and advised her of my findings. We put together a game plan whereby she would fly to Las Vegas and file criminal charges against David for bigamy. This was on a Saturday and I strongly advised her not to discuss our findings with David at this time. Sunday I received a call from Jane’s sister and she told me that Jane had met with David at a storage facility in Sanford, Florida. While there Jane confronted David about Dorothy Miller and the problem of having two wives at the same time. David became outraged for fear she would expose him. He went to his vehicle got his 9-mm handgun and shot Jane, seven times.

David Miller is now serving time on death row in the state prison in Florida.

This case has had me troubled for fear I did not caution my client strong enough.

Hard Copy, Inside Edition and many T.V. Shows carried this story also many newspapers.
