CRUCIAL EVIDENCE While investigators had determined that one suspect was responsible for both deaths, the trail went cold when they attempted to identify the individual. It wasn't until 2014 when a forensic genealogist began to help with the investigation that they made a huge breakthrough. Officials had gathered a DNA profile from semen collected at the crime scene and sent it to Colleen Fitzpatrick, who was working with Identifinders at the time. ...I put it in some software that I have, and that searched the genealogy data for matches, and I came up with six Millers,... Fitzpatrick told 12 News. This gave investigators the final clue they needed after they had already been looking into Miller, who became known as the ...Zombie Hunter... because of a sticker on the back of his car. Experts helping with the cold case had previously pointed out that Miller mysteriously left Phoenix shortly after the murders. He also had a juvenile record that made investigators question his character, including violently attacking a teen girl.

Miller was arrested on January 13, 2015, decades after the horrifying deaths. The officer who spoke with Miller in the recently-surfaced footage spoke of their interaction in court. ...Did he have any explanation for you why his DNA or semen was on and in Ms Bernas and Ms Brosso?... asked prosecutor Vincent Imbordino. ...He could not explain that,... Schira said. ...CHILLS UP HIS SPINE' Also in court, a retired police officer revealed more about Miller's dark juvenile history. In 1989, Miller was arrested for stabbing a woman in a mall parking lot. Officer Oliver Peltier had a hauntingly memorable conversation with the suspect while he took him to the juvenile detention center. ...After my initial question to him, I asked him if he did it to see what it felt like,... Peltier told the court. ...And Bryan said, ...I guess that's why I did it.... When prosecutors asked the officer if he inquired as to how the stabbing made Miller feel, he said: ...I did. ...I said, ...How did it make you feel?' ...And Bryan said it sent chills up his spine.... Miller is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and attempted sexual assault. During opening remarks at trial, Miller's defense attorney argued that he was in a dissociative state when the killings took place, 12 News reported. Read More on The US Sun
