Sandra Miller disappeared after a routine trip to the store on October 6, 1987, when she failed to return to her Albuquerque home and was reported missing by her husband. After three weeks of searching, her body was found on October 28, 1987, in an open, undeveloped area north of the 1300 block of Central Avenue NW.

Medical investigators determined she died from a single gunshot wound, confirming a homicide. Despite that finding, investigators were never able to identify a suspect; no arrests were made and the case grew cold. The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office still lists her death as unsolved.

If anyone remembered Sandra, was in that part of Albuquerque in October 1987, or has information that could help resolve this case, please contact the Sheriff’s Office.
