On the morning of February 18, 2015, 44-year-old Monica Lynn Miller was preparing to leave for work at a local nursing home when she was confronted and fatally shot around 6:20 a.m. in the 500 block of East Main Street outside her Ephrata apartment complex. Her daughter, who lived with her, heard the gunshots and found Miller’s body in the parking lot.

Investigators focused on 58-year-old Randall Scott Shreiner, a married former pastor from West Lampeter Township, with whom Miller had an on-again, off-again affair. Shreiner legally purchased a handgun the day before the shooting, concealed himself in the apartment parking lot on the morning of the murder, and after a brief conversation shot Miller multiple times as she sat in her car. He turned himself in the next day and was charged with criminal homicide and a firearms violation.

In June 2015 Shreiner pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; during sentencing he expressed remorse and Miller’s daughter addressed the court. Does anyone have additional details about Monica’s life in Ephrata or about what led to the confrontation that morning?
