Carol Miller was 58 when she left her Canyon Gate home in Las Vegas for an evening walk on Saturday, February 1, 2003, and failed to return by 8:00 p.m. Her husband reported her missing and neighbors and family searched the area, distributing photographs and asking around local businesses the next day.

On Monday, February 3, 2003, a construction worker found Miller’s body on the side of the road near Interstate 215 and Far Hills Avenue, several miles from her home. Investigators concluded she had been strangled and noted several pieces of her jewelry were missing, a detail investigators linked to a possible robbery. Metro Police followed leads but reported no suspects.

Her husband, Doug Miller, and a business partner established a reward fund and the case received national attention, including a feature on America’s Most Wanted; nonetheless the investigation grew cold and no arrests were announced. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department later renewed active interest in the unsolved homicide and appealed to the public, including former Canyon Gate security staff, for information.

Did anyone in the Canyon Gate area or who knew Carol notice anything unusual on the evening of February 1, 2003?
