Miller was arrested at his apartment in Owatonna, Minnesota!

Mary was found dead on 15 February 1974 Spring Brook, Wisconsin about 260 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

Mary had been hitchhiking from Minneapolis to a Chicago art show when she turned up dead in a ditch, and investigators were left with few leads beyond one piece of possible evidence was a stocking cap found near her body, from which a few hairs were pulled. The hairs have lead investigator to Miller who was found by genetic evidence.

Miller denied being involved when investigators arrived at his apartment, but after they told him about the genetic evidence that lead to Miller, he confessed. Miller stated he picked Mary up and wanted sexual content, but she denied his advanced and he grabbed a knife and stabbed Mary in the back.

Miller was in Steele County jail until last Friday where he was moved to Dunn County jail in Wisconsin.
