Laura Miller was 17 when she went missing from League City, Texas, on September 10, 1984, shortly after her family moved there. She was last seen leaving home to use a payphone because the household line was not yet connected. Initial reports treated her as a runaway, which limited the early investigative response.

Skeletal remains identified as Laura’s were recovered on February 2, 1986, in a remote field off Calder Road that later became known as the Texas Killing Fields. Her body was the second found in that area after Heidi Fye, and decomposition prevented a conclusive determination of cause of death. Investigators were unable to establish clear links between the victims found there or identify a definitive suspect.

Clyde Hedrick, a League City resident at the time, was later connected to Laura’s case after an alleged confession to a fellow inmate; he was convicted of manslaughter in another woman’s death but has not been formally charged in Laura’s murder. Laura’s father, Tim Miller, founded Texas EquuSearch to aid searches for missing people. If anyone knew Laura, saw her on September 10, 1984, or has information about activity near Calder Road, authorities would welcome contact.
