Tim Miller Can Find Almost Anyone. Can He Find His Daughter’s Killer?

[Wire154a]

Tim Miller can find almost anyone. Can he find his daughter’s killer?

Texans have a habit of taking matters into their own hands, and Tim Miller is one of them.​

One day in 1994, Miller drove to the home of Robert Abel, a quiet, retired Nasa engineer. He confronted Abel outside his house. They started arguing. Miller drew a .357 revolver. He held the gun to Abel’s head and demanded he confess to being a serial killer.​

As Miller stared down the barrel, he thought Abel’s face was strangely impassive. Suddenly, he felt the anger flush from his body. He decided not to pull the trigger, for, he later claimed, two reasons: if Abel really were a serial killer, killing him would end the possibility of identifying his other victims and bringing closure to their families. And if Abel really were some kind of psychopath, devoid of conscience and incapable of remorse, then killing him would serve no real justice.​

With that, Miller walked away. He broke down weeping, drove to a hospital and checked himself into the psychiatric ward. By the time he emerged, 10 days later, he knew he couldn’t go on as he was. He had to channel his grief more productively.

His mission, however, wasn’t over.

Texas man believes he has finally solved his daughter's 1984 murder | Daily Mail Online

Mr Miller is convinced Laura, Heidi Fye and the 1986 Jane Doe are the victims of a man he had personally investigated early on in the hunt for his daughter's murderer.

Clyde Hedrick had lived on the same street as the Miller family before they moved to League City, and Mr Miller tells the Guardian that 'Hedrick knew his daughter and sometimes talked to her when she passed his house.

'One time she and some friends even apparently visited his house to buy pot.'

He has made many wrong calls in the past and been relentless in his pursuits. It's all in the article.

EXCLUSIVE: Texas father believes he found his daughter’s killer, thinks he murdered several other women

A Texas father who has spent the last three decades working on his own daughter’s murder case believes he has solved it, and told CrimeOnline that he thinks the man responsible is also guilty in the deaths of several other women.

What a shame these cases were mismanaged in the beginning, making it difficult to retrieve much evidence. I wonder if there's any DNA from the killer found on any of the women.

I really feel for Mr. Miller he is a good man who has done so much for so many families over the years.

It's nice to see a smile on Tim Miller's face, even if it's a small one. Bless this man. I donate to Texas EquuSearch every time I can afford to. I just hope he's been lucky enough to have someone that will be able to fill his shoes when he finally gets to go to Heaven and be with Laura again.

‘Texas Killing Fields’: Clyde Hedrick’s friend shares new details in EquuSearch founder’s daughter’s cold case

Tim Miller, who won a $24 million wrongful death lawsuit against Clyde Hedrick for the death of his daughter, met with Hedrick's associate as the investigation continues.

www.foxnews.com

''A man claiming to be an associate of convicted killer Clyde Edwin Hedrick showed Tim Miller where the pair allegedly "dumped a lot of things" in Texas' infamous "Killing Fields" and where Hedrick allegedly stalked Miller's daughter before she vanished.

''It was an area off the beaten path near their old home that "no one else knew she went to," Miller told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.

On multiple occasions since April 2022, the man met with Miller to drive to Calder Road along Interstate 45 in coastal League City, Texas. That's where Miller's 16-year-old daughter, Laura, was found dead in 1986.


"He said, ‘Here. Stop right here. Stop right here,’" Miller said. "So I stopped, and he kept staring out the window, and he said, ‘We dumped something right there.’ I said that's exactly where Laura was dumped.''

No one has been criminally charged in Laura's 1984 abduction and death, but Miller has long suspected Hedrick. Miller won a $24 million wrongful death lawsuit against him after Hedrick failed to show up for the civil trial, according to authorities and court records.

"He said, ‘You see those woods over there… That’s where Clyde used to hide and watch Laura,'" Miller said. "Well there was a cemetery there that was right beside the Dickinson bayou that's three blocks away from our house, and Laura would go there and hang out by the cemetery.

"It was a tranquil, little place, and no one knew Laura did that, so when he told me that, I said (to myself), ‘This guy is real./’"

I didn't even know about this letter until I just saw your post. Started searching and only found one article that discusses it but doesn't show the whole thing. Did you ever find the whole letter anywhere?

"I just felt like 40 years, you know, it is a milestone. It is not one that I would wish on anyone, but it's important for us just to remember her," Jager said.

The bodies of three other women and girls were found in a field off Calder Road.

Their names were Laura Miller, Audrey Cook, and Donna Prudhomme.
In 2014, prosecutors presented evidence linking Clyde Hedrick to the murders of Heidi and Laura Miller.

He was already facing charges for the 1984 murder of Elena Rae Beasom. She was found buried off a road in Galveston County.

But the charges in Heidi's case did not stick, something her and Laura Miller's families are upset about.

Laura's father, Tim Miller, founded Texas Equusearch to work on the case independently.

The foxnews article is from Feb. of this year -- this should be of interest to EVERYONE:

"Hedrick is scheduled to remain on GPS leg-monitored supervision until April 3, 2033, but he's eligible to be released from that requirement this month, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed."

This means that he may be CURRENTLY on the loose !
