Kristine Guske Stuart was a 30-year-old school teacher who was murdered in East Lansing, Michigan, on August 14, 1978. Her disappearance lasted several days before investigators located her.

Miller was arrested two days later, on August 16, 1978, after attacking a 14-year-old girl in Lansing. He later confessed to Stuart’s murder and three other killings, saying the encounter with Stuart was not premeditated and that he had believed he saw a previous victim. Miller led police to Stuart’s body. In a plea deal, first-degree murder charges were dismissed and he pleaded guilty to counts of involuntary manslaughter; for Stuart’s death he received a 10 to 15 year sentence, served concurrently with a longer term for another attack.
