Authorities suspect that Bryan Patrick Miller, the ‘Zombie Hunter’ sentenced to death for the murders of two young women, might be connected to yet another victim due to an apparent confession.
Miller, known for his steampunk attire, awaits execution for the 1990s murders of Angela Brosso and Melanie Bernas in Phoenix. Now, a confession he allegedly made to his ex-wife eight years ago has resurfaced, possibly linking him to the 1992 disappearance of 13-year-old Brandy Myers, though no physical evidence connects him to her case.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence, authorities look to Miller’s ex-wife’s statements to an FBI agent and a Phoenix police detective as a potential lead in the Myers case. Troy Hillman, the former head of the Phoenix Police Department’s cold case unit, expressed a strong belief in Miller’s involvement.
Stuart Somershoe, a retired Phoenix missing persons detective, stressed that while Miller won’t harm anyone else, it’s crucial not to forget Brandy Myers, who was overshadowed by Miller’s high-profile trial.
Miller has maintained his innocence in the Brosso and Bernas murders, stating that he disagreed with the defense presented during his trial. He also criticized the prison conditions and the quality of food, expressing frustration about his trial’s timing, occurring nearly three decades after the crimes. His defense claimed he suffered from dissociative amnesia and cited childhood abuse as a contributing factor to his mental health problems.
In a candid moment, Miller’s biggest regret was not being with his daughter, who was a teenager when he was arrested. It took investigators six months to link him to the murders of Brosso and Bernas. Miller’s fascination with horror, symbolized by his ‘Arizona Zombie Hunter’ persona, eventually revealed a checkered past, including a 2002 stabbing of another woman in Everett, Washington.
