Jocelyn Josie E. Miller was 19 and a Manitowoc, Wisconsin resident who died at home on Sunday, September 9, 2018. A Lincoln High School graduate who played saxophone in band and jazz band for seven years, she worked at a local Culver’s for four years and was remembered for making people smile with goofy faces.

Both Jocelyn and her 51-year-old father, Richard Miller, were found fatally shot at their Dale Street home in what police investigated as a double homicide. Initial reports said there was no believed wider danger. Investigators later arrested Karl Hess; he initially confessed, saying he went to the house expecting cash, shot Richard twice, then found and killed Jocelyn. At trial in June 2021 Hess recanted, testifying that Richard shot Jocelyn and he shot Richard. The jury convicted Hess on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and he received two life terms without extended supervision in August 2021.

Anyone who knew Jocelyn, her father, or had information about the deaths or the days leading up to September 9, 2018 is asked to come forward.
