On the morning of July 22, 2010, the bodies of 23-year-old Paige Miller and 43-year-old Michael Anderson were found about thirty yards from the main entrance of Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. Security initially thought the pair were sleeping, but blood on the ground revealed a crime scene. Police determined both had been killed by gunshots and reported no signs of a struggle at the scene.
Miller was a mother of three who worked as a nightclub dancer and had been reported by friends to be struggling with drugs. Anderson, a part-time mechanic, had a prior methamphetamine possession conviction. The couple were living together in a rental house; hours before her death Paige had a seemingly ordinary phone call with her cousin.
Five days after the killings a neighbor was arrested on unrelated drug and firearm charges; officers found a .40 caliber handgun, multiple rifles and shotguns, methamphetamine and other drugs, and the home had a CCTV system. Neighbors reported seeing Miller and Anderson coming and going from that house, but no official link between the arrested neighbor and the murders has been announced. A $25,000 reward was offered, yet no suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains unsolved.
If anyone knew Paige or Michael, witnessed them around July 22, 2010, or has information about the neighbor’s connections, please share what is known.
