Grace Emily Miller, 21, was found dead on the side of a rural stretch of Poor Valley Road in Rutledge, Tennessee, on December 11, 2023. The Grainger County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a body that afternoon; the caller reported seeing a car speed away from the scene shortly before the discovery. Miller, a lifelong member of Buffalo Baptist Church, had recently returned to work at a local Food City after maternity leave and was the devoted mother of an infant son.

An arrest warrant later stated Miller had been shot multiple times. Investigation focused on 21-year-old Dilan McFall, identified as Miller’s boyfriend and the father of her child. The Grainger County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, sought McFall for questioning; he was taken into custody late the same Monday evening and was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. The community organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses, as Miller did not have life insurance.

Does anyone from Rutledge or Buffalo Baptist Church have information about Grace’s last known movements or the stretch of Poor Valley Road where she was found?
