 (Above photo credit: Las Vegas Police Website) From the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department website: Synopsis: On Saturday, February 1, 2003, at approximately 5:00 p.m., Carol Miller left her residence at 9033 Robinson Ridge Dr. (Canyon Gate development) for a walk. Carol typically walked, for exercise, out of the gated community in the evening. When she didn't return home by 8:00 p.m., her husband reported her missing. On Monday, February 3, 2003, a construction worker who was driving to a construction site, West on Far Hills Rd. discovered Carol's body on the side of the road. It was determined that Carol died from asphyxiation by strangulation. It is still unknown how or from where she was abducted along her walk route. Several pieces of jewelry were missing from her body. Anyone with information is urged call LV Metro Homicide Detail at 702-828-3521.www.lvmpd.com/Sections/Homicide/CasesByYear/20002009/tabid/323/Default.aspxThoughts? The reason I'm placing this in the unsolved on tv section is that Carol's case was featured on the April 17th, 2004 episode of America's Most Wanted. According to pakman's episode guide, Miller was a children's fashion designer. Whether her killer or killer's knew this and it's what led to her robbery, we'll never know until there's an arrest.

Usually gated communications have surveillance cameras that could have theoretically captured the image of Carol's killer. Since we don't have that to work with, it sounds like Carol was attacked on her jog in the neighbourhood. Someone local could have very easily studied her pattern and determined her to be their victim.

Carol's husband, who helped her in the clothing industry, said he didn't believe her job had anything to do with the case. He believed it was completely random. Ed Miller even asked him point-blank, and her husband said no.

A bit of a weird update but at least the search for Carol Miller's killer has some renewed attention: LAS VEGAS (KTNV) - A social media post mistakenly caused concern about a kidnapping and murder in Summerlin, until people realized the case was actually from 2003. After seeing police activity in the area, some posted to the Nextdoor app and Facebook with links to an article about a woman being snatched on a walk near Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road and then found dead a few days later near 215 and Far Hills Avenue. The date in February and the area was correct, but the actual case happened 15 years ago in 2003. While people were relieved once they realize the post was a mistake, and there was no immediate threat, the post is now renewing interest in the original case, which remains unsolved. In 2003, 58-year-old Carol Miller was going for a walk near her home near Sahara and Fort Apache. After her family tried to look for her, she was later found a few days later near 215 and Far Hills. It appeared that she had been strangled, and whoever attacked her may have been after her jewelry. At the time, there was a reward for information, but over the years, the case was never solved. Miller's son Alex still lives in Las Vegas. He says he's glad there is a renewed interest in the case and hopes someone will come forward with information. "She was the toughest woman I know," he says. Alex Miller remembers his mom as someone who always helped others. Around the time of her death, she was caring for a friend who had cancer. Around the time of the murder, family friend Wayne Allyn Root and a few others put up a reward hoping that would quickly solve the case, but that never happened. "I thought there'd be an answer right away," he says. Las Vegas police say the case is still considered open. Their cold case investigators review those cases from time to time. They say any information, however small, could help them. www.ktnv.com/news/social-media-post-revives-interest-in-15-year-old-summerlin-cold-case |
