According to reports, police had initially been called to the residence for a domestic dispute. Officers left the home, but shortly afterward, John Miller called authorities and said he had shot and killed both his daughter, Joanna, and his wife, Melissia. When police returned, Joanna was found dead on the kitchen floor from a gunshot wound to the head. Melissia was found in a bedroom, still conscious but suffering from two life-threatening gunshot wounds to her head. Before she was taken to the hospital, she reportedly told police that her husband had shot her. She died from her injuries ten days later, on April 20, 2021. What an awful story.

Joanna R. Miller, 51, was shot dead in her family home on Greenmont Drive in Enola, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 2021. She was found on the kitchen floor with a gunshot wound to the head after police returned to the house in response to a domestic disturbance call earlier that evening.

Joanna had worked for the Pennsylvania State Police for 21 years and was remembered for her love of crocheting and cooking. Officers say her 78-year-old father, John Miller, later called to report he had shot Joanna and his wife, Melissia Hinton-Miller. Melissia, 65, was found alive with two gunshot wounds to the head and identified her husband as the shooter; she died of her injuries ten days later. John Miller was taken into custody at the scene; police reported a .38 caliber handgun on a living room table and said he was the only other person present.

A preliminary hearing for John Miller was scheduled for May 2021. Does anyone have information about Joanna’s life in Enola or about what led to that night?
