Cathy Sue Miller, 70, was found dead from gunshot wounds inside her Ortonville, Michigan, home on Groveland Road on February 16, 2022. Her husband, 79-year-old Howard Herbert Miller, made a 911 call saying he had shot his wife. Michigan State Police pronounced Cathy dead at the scene and arrested Howard, who was charged with open murder and felony firearms and held at the Oakland County Jail without bond. A psychiatric evaluation was ordered to determine his competency to stand trial, and a probable cause conference was scheduled before a district judge.

On March 10, 2022, Howard Miller died; he had been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in 2021 and later with terminal brain cancer in December 2021. His death ended the criminal case that followed Cathy’s killing. If anyone knew Cathy or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
