Dan Hiers- South Carolina- 2005

Regarding the appearance change, that was all blown out of proportion.  Really, the media does a lot of fabricating to make the story more interesting.  My brother never put on weight.  I think that pic they showed was taken with a cellphone and, I do admit, he looks pretty fat in the picture, but I just think it was how it looked.  He did grow a beard about four months before his disappearance and kept it for about a month.  I think he was more or less just stressed out or a little depressed about the charges being brought, and he kinda just let himself go.  At the time of his disappearance, he was clean shaven.  Mila was supposed to report to work early that morning.  Maybe 8 am.  Allegedly, she was killed sometime in the early morning while she slept.  Now, a neighbor reported seeing him at his house around 2pm.  Ok, try to figure this out.  My brother was supposed to turn himself in that morning on additional charges.  He called his attorney and told him that he had to stop to go to the bathroom and he was running late.  He never shows up.  Now, if you knew you were supposed to show up to court on charges and you don't, you would assume the cops would come looking for you.  Knowing this, why would he stay there at the house all morning and part of the afternoon with his murdered wife inside?  If he were going to run, he would have done it immediately after he killed her.  I mentioned this to his attorney and he told me that he had straightened it out with the judge.  I said, yes, but my brother didn't know that.  You are supposed to show up to court on these charges and you don't, then hang around your house with your wife, whom you murdered, lying inside with no regards to cops showing up with a warrant for your arrest.  I'm telling you, my son was in the hospital during this time, and I stayed with my brother on many occasions.  He seemed very fearful of something or somebody.  He came down for my mom's birthday.  I was at work but I talked to him about 10 minutes before I was supposed to get off.  I asked him to stick around so I could see him, but he was adamant that he had to get home before Mila got off work.  He had to get home before she did.  Almost like he didn't want her to come home to a dark, empty house.  Another time, she was a little late coming home from work.  He called and asked her where she was and when she told him she was at an ATM, he became livid.  Told her to never go by the ATM.  If she needed money, he had some he could give her.  It's just little things that anyone who wasn't close to him or the situation know about.

Honestly, Scott’s statements are totally senseless. I say that based on dialogs I used to have with my sister and several conversations my mother and I had with some people from the police, whose names I don´t want to mention. I hope Dan’s gruesome, revolting, painful action can lead him to a bottomless pit. People, Dan Hiers is guilty. The evidences prove it. There are no words to describe the feelings caused by the murder of Mila. When I think about the kind of virtuous person she was, everything she conquered, her goals for their future ( Dan’s and hers) and Dan’s cowardice I feel very indignant.
My family and I want to see this Judas Iscariot behind bars.

The mere fact that he is an Ex-Cop makes me lose hope that he will be caught anytime soon.

I'm bumping this thread because Mar 15 was the 10-year mark of when Hiers became a fugitive and since then, not a single decent lead on his whereabouts has been determined aside from Ludmilla's car being found in Laredo, Texas.

I should have asked Dan's brother when he posted here about the white supremacy rumors. Sometimes AMW's tips weren't always accurate, they had reports of Beacher Hackney dressed as a woman when he was really dead, and reports of Dennis Lilly teaching parasailing in Mexico when he was actually in a quiet suburban town in Washington state, for example. But if there was any truth to them, sure it's possible he could have stayed in the states.

I did always feel the car being found in Laredo was a possible ruse. But perhaps the ruse really was Hiers fled to Canada instead of Mexico, or he wanted to make people think he was going to Mexico when he really was going deep down to South America.

Hiers, being a cop, it is one of the more intriguing mysteries of AMW being it's been over a decade since he disappeared. If he ever is caught/found it will be really interesting to see where he wound up.

a complicated case. But if it was a set up to trap dan hiers, then why the case hasn't been properly investigated???
