On February 27, 1990, the body of Harrisburg woman Kathy Novena Schenck, who also used the name Phoenix Bell, was found at a roadside dump in Penn Township, Perry County. She ran from his vehicle in an attempt to escape; Miller pursued her, ran her down with his car and repeatedly rolled the vehicle over her body, which caused her death.

During later investigations into a series of killings, Miller confessed to picking Schenck up, driving her to Perry County, then raping and strangling her. Miller was already on death row for the murders of other women and was later convicted in Schenck’s killing, receiving an additional life imprisonment sentence for this crime.

Does anyone have information about Kathy Schenck’s life in Harrisburg or contacts who might help fill gaps in her story?
