Miller said he had direct contact with Elmore over the past several years, meeting with him dozens of times -- conversations that left a lasting impact.

“Over the last four years I spent a minimum of 30 times with James Elmore,” Miller said, adding that Elmore had reached out to him.

Miller said some of those interactions were so difficult that he had to pull over while driving.
“There were times that I left James Elmore … and I had to pull over and just sob and cry with the information I got,” he said.
