IA-Evelyn Miller, 5, Charles City FOUND

[SewingDeb]

The fiance of Evelyn Miller's mother pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges of possessing child pornography. 26-year-old Casey Frederiksen was arrested by U.S. Postal inspectors Thursday night in New Hampton. He entered a plea in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids on a single charge.

Floyd County Attorney Marily Dettmer issued a statement Friday saying "the child pornography case and the murder investigation are two completely separate cases." However, Dettmer added there is some overlap because some of the facts and the people involved are connected.

Uh oh....no wonder he tried to kill himself.

[mysteriew]

Magistrate Paul A. Zoss advised Frederiksen of his rights. He urged him not to speak without the presence of his attorney, and appointed Jane Kelly, assistant federal public defender, to represent Frederiksen.

“How do you plead to the indictment,” Zoss asked. Frederiksen responded, “Not guilty.”

If Frederiksen is convicted of the possession charge, he could be sentenced to 10 years in prison and to pay a $250,000 fine.

Assistant U. S. Attorney Sean Berry requested that Frederiksen be detained. He will be held in the Linn County Jail until a detention hearing scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday.

Following the proceeding, Berry declined to give the ages of the

minors depicted in the alleged pornography because the case is under investigation. He said more details would come out during Monday’s detention hearing.

A man close to the Evelyn Miller murder case has been charged with possessing child pornography. Casey Frederiksen is engaged to Evelyn Miller’s mother. After a grand jury hearing, he is now facing the federal charge.

Friday Frederiksen’s sister, Brandi Hoffman, issued this statement to the media.

Oh for goodness sake. Isn't anybody 'normal' these days? What is with the 'child porn?' What the heck!

I don't know if this has anything to do with Evelyn, but this doesn't look too good for the family. No wonder DHS had been contacted previously. It would seem there are others who knew something about this.

Thinking out of the box: I wonder if someone set this guy up, that is of course if he isn't the guilty party.

Thinking out of the box: I wonder if someone set this guy up, that is of course if he isn't the guilty party.

I'm not sure that anyone set this guy up. It was reported early on in this case that DHS had been contacted on several occasions about there being abuse. I personally didn't believe it up to that point from what we then knew. However, now seeing there's 'child porn' even in the home, that seems,......well, kinky.

To this point, I don't see where this revelation leads to connecting the bf to Evelyn's death. However, it doesn't do his image any good. It makes you wonder what kind of friends he may have had which could give them access to Evelyn. I'm not necessarily talking about the two friends who were said to be the last ones who saw Evelyn, as they seem like they're telling the truth, IMO.

This new development is just curious. :(

When you pull the hard drive out of your computer....give it to a neighbor and ask her to keep it for you... then....you get into a fight with the neighbor because she gave it to LE...you aren't being set up.

I agree with you on this. Innocent people give LE everything they have to clear their name so LE can move on and find the real killer. Lessons learned from Ramseys.

Casey Frederiksen To Remain in Jail
Tuesday, October 04, 2005, 7:58:18 AM

KCRG-TV9 News

http://images.kcrg.com/images/vidicon.jpg Video (http://www.kcrg.com/article.aspx?art_id=97937&cat_id=123#)
(Cedar Rapids – KCRG) -- A federal judge has ruled Casey Frederiksen must stay in jail until his trial for possessing child porn.

Frederiksen is engaged to Noel Miller, the mother of five-year-old Floyd County murder victim Evelyn Miller.

Last week a Federal Grand Jury indicted Frederiksen for possessing child pornography.

Frederiksen appeared confident when he entered the courtroom, but once the prosecutor started talking, Frederiksen's whole mood changed.

Court documents filed Monday afternoon list multiple reasons why Frederiksen is a threat to the community.

The documents say Frederiksen admitted to a Charles City police officer that he repeatedly molested a girl when he was thirteen-years-old.

The prosecutor also talked about a computer Frederiksen kept at his former Floyd County apartment.

During the Evelyn Miller murder investigation, prosecutors say Frederiksen tried to hide that computer from investigators.

When authorities found his computer, court records show he had more than one-thousand child pornography images on his computer.

Plus, they say he also had a large number of movies showing adults sexually abusing children.

Frederiksen's fiancé, Noel Miller, moved out after she found some of that child pornography on his computer but, Miller moved back with him after he convinced her that a virus caused those images to be on the hard drive.

Investigators say a virus never infected the computer.

Later, the prosecutor brought up Frederiksen's suicide attempt on September 21st.

Instead of cooperating with police, Frederiksen drew a knife on the officers who were trying to help him.

The prosecutor said that type of behavior makes Frederiksen a threat.

Then, prosecutors talked about how Frederiksen was the last person to see Evelyn alive.

He was supposed to be watching her the night she vanished.

She was found dead six days later.

The prosecutor also mentioned Frederiksen has no permanent home and no job.

Plus, court documents say he uses and sells marijuana.

Miller left the courthouse with Frederiksen's father.

Both did not comment.

Frederiksen's mother also did not say anything as she left the courthouse.

Then, authorities drove Frederiksen back to the Linn County Jail.

The judge says all those reasons cited by the prosecutor make Frederiksen a threat to the community.

So, he will remain in the Linn County Jail without bond. Frederiksen's next scheduled court appearance is December 5th.


I would think this puts him on top of the suspect list. I hate to think of the horrors that little girl had to live with. When will adult women grow up, ditch the scumbag boyfriends, and truely focus on the well being of their children ?

[Becba]

He had a huge amount of child pornography and he attempted suicide. Not good.

I am imagine Emily's mother is very upset about how this is turning out.

[mysteriew]

I believe I can see motive.

[Becba]

I believe I can see motive.
It is very sad. I have no doubt the mother went to work and the boyfriend checked out the porn online. Mom likely had no idea he was doing this.
If she had know zshe would have felt he did not want her sexually and would have worried for her kid.
It is said in the news reports he sold marijuana. Likely a man home all day while his girlfriend worked and she had no idea he was getting porn like this on the pc.
I have checked some sights that have to do with sex crimes and murders. I never sign up on a child porn sight.
I would like to se one only to report it. I could not look at it as I would be haunted as any mother would be.
I know some doubt the mothers knowledge of what her boyfriend was doing yet she would not have stayed with him if she knew.
Many people think pot is ok. They see no harm in it. If the mother had known her boyfriend was preoccupied with child porn I think she would have left.
She is a victim also.
You think her boyfriend let her know he liked little kids? I doubt it.
I bet she will want to kill him after she is over the shock.
In my book, he is not one to support anymore. Not because we KNOW he killed Emily but he had over a thousand child porn on his pc. I will never defend someone that could even look at these kinds of photos.

[Bobbisangel]

It sounds like this guy spent a lot of time on the computer checking out the child porn and downloading it. He also had videos of adults and children? Those must have been in the apt.

I have a hard time believing that Evelyn's mother was unaware. A computer full of child porn....videos of child porn in the home....SHE pulls the hard drive out of that same computer and trys to keep it from LE. She believes the boyfriend when he tells her a virus caused the child porn??? I've had a virus on my puter and all it did was mess my puter up so bad it had to go to the puter doctor. Wonder what he told her about the videos...how they got in the apt? That must have been a dilly of an explanation!!

Evelyn's mother did move out BUT she moved right back in. This boyfriend sells pot. She had to have known that. He uses it...she had to know that too.
He doesn't hold down a job...but she does or did anyway. What is wrong with this picture? Several calls to Protective Child Services over a period of time. LE at their apt off and on. I can see why LE wants the boyfriend held in jail. Why not, it isn't like he is missing work anyway :doh:

It sounds like little Evelyn's case just might be solved within the next year.
Not being sarcastic...his next hearing isn't until Dec.

I know I will be praying that the truth comes out and justice is served for this precious little girl.

[fran]

I never suspected the bf! I hate this! Doesn't anybody live a normal life anymore? :eek:

Not only did he have all this child porn and use and sell drugs, he admitted to LE that he had repeatedly molested a little girl when he was 13. Did Noel know about that? he molesting a little girl so many years ago? I don't think so.

The fact that Noel moved out when she first found out about the porn on the computer, tells me that sort of behavior is not acceptable to her. I realize that he convinced her it was from a virus on the computer and not his doing. But after this new revelation, IMO, she now has to know he lied to her. She has to be just disgusted, ..........disgusted and sick to think that she was sleeping with and harboring the man who most likely molested and killed her beautiful daughter! :furious:

What a shame. How long did poor Evelyn have to put up with his secret before he killed her? (IMHO, IMOO)

Bless Evelyn's little heart. :(

[mysteriew]

So far they are very carefully not stating that he ever molested Evelyn, but I have been around here too long to believe that he didn't.

[Bobbisangel]

So far they are very carefully not stating that he ever molested Evelyn, but I have been around here too long to believe that he didn't.


This guy began molesting when he was 13-14 yrs. I have a hard time believing that it ended when he was caught. I would believe he just never got caught again. As we know, they can't stop. I will be watching as this all unfolds.

I know a guy who started molesting when he was 19 yrs. He was living with an older woman with 3 daughters. He molested 2 of them. The oldest daughter found out and told him to get lost or she would tell her mom. He was never charged.

Then he met up with another gal who had one little girl. They lived together and he molested her little girl. They had a daughter together and eventially split up. The mother never knew about the molestation until the girl was in her teens and it came out.

Right after that he met my oldest daughter. She had two children..a boy and a girl. They were together for 5 yrs and had a daughter together and planned to get married. My daughter worked and 3-4 nights a week she closed her place of work...about 9 pm. My grandaughter complained about stomach aches a lot but her mom didn't think a thing of it. Then one night my grandaughter left her mom a letter telling her what had gone on while she was closing her place of work on those nights. My grandaughter had put a stop to the molestion a year before she told...when she was 10 yrs. but it had a major affect on her. My daughter came home...read the letter...took the kids and went to the sheriff's department.

The guy was arrested...everything came out then. The way this pervert worked it was just amazing to me. He always hooked up with women with daughters. He was never without a little girl. My daughter dug until she found out about the first 2 little girls...then she found out about the 2nd girl that the guy had raised since she was about 2 yrs. She made sure it all came out in court. This was one mom who pushed the system and I'm sure they were sick to death of her by the time he went to trial.

Evelyn's mom also worked nights. She wouldn't have been aware of anything going on unless Evelyn told her. Often they don't. It sounds like there were many problems in the home. I would be surprised if the mom knew anything about the boyfriend's previous arrest for molestation. The child porn...I have a problem with her not knowing about that because of the hard drive that she tried to ditch. It will be interesting to see if she "stands by her man" now that she knows everything that we know. If she does then she will get no sympathy from me. Not that she would know/care one way or the other :hand:

[fran]

Bobbisangel:
Thank you for the story of your daughter. God bless her for doing the right thing. She may have saved many children that could have been this guy's future victims.

I know they haven't said this guy is a suspect, but I'm not in LE and I think he might be good for it. I would have to know more facts though. I'm sure LE isn't sitting on their laurels with this investigation. If this guy is the perp, it's only a matter of time before we know.

This is just my opinion of course! :rolleyes:

Have your kleenexes ready!
In preparing this news report, Courier staff writers interviewed family members, neighbors, members of the community and authorities. The reporters also reviewed police and sheriff department documents and state and federal court records.

Miller declined to talk to the Courier. Frederiksen is being held in the Linn County Correctional Center. Attempts to reach him for comment were unsuccessful.

Neighbors and others were willing to overlook when 5-year-old Evelyn Miller appeared outside their door late at night. They didn't think much about heaps of electronic equipment inside her apartment. Or whiffs of smoke thought to be burning marijuana that seeped from her home.

Times when Evelyn showed off the three-legged cat she befriended --- or when she greeted others with a radiant smile at 7 a.m. --- countered other observations.

As Lynette Connerley said, "I try not to look at everything being evil."

Mystery swirls in the community about the final hours of Evelyn's life.

But troubling signs --- all too real and difficult for mainstream society to comprehend --- are being revealed amid allegations of a culture of drugs, pornography and neglect that surrounded the slain girl, before and after her death.

"What we were getting out there totally wasn't the norm," Floyd County Sheriff Rick Lynch said.

Daily life

Evelyn's days frequently started early and ended late for a child. It wasn't unusual for her to wander the grounds at 1781 Quarry Road, the rural apartment building where she lived.

Yesterday, Governor Vilsack defended how the state has handled the case against criticism warning signs were missed. "Cleanly this was not a perfect family, but there wasn't anything to suggest this youngster would be abducted, killed, physical danger."

Of course the governor is going to defend the state. He probably hasn't even read the complaints. He says that Evelyn's dad will get the records...eventually! What is wrong with now? Why should her father have to wait? All DSHS has to do is run copies of the reports.

I think someone really dropped the ball on this little girl. If neighbors saw things that didn't seem normal why not place a call to DSHS...they don't have to give their names. In this day and age it is better to be safe than sorry. I still don't understand why the dad didn't just keep Evelyn when he had her for visitation. If he was aware of the neglect and the way that Evelyn was living why not just not take her back to her mother and then fight the mom in court? These are things that I just don't understand. She was just a little girl and couldn't do anything about her situation herself. Kids depend on us to take care of things and to keep them safe.

I wonder what is going on with the boyfriend now. What was all of the equipment in the apartment that the neighbors saw. Were they making their own home movies??!!

I hope the cops are still investigating this case. This killer needs to be caught
or maybe he already has been but the cops don't know that he is sitting in a cell in their jail.

More people who know Noel Miller and Casey Frederiksen — the Floyd County couple who were parenting 5-year-old Evelyn Miller before she was murdered this past summer — have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury.

The federal investigation is separate from the state investigation into Evelyn's unsolved murder. The new round of subpoenas went out this week. One of the witnesses who will testify tomorrow at the federal courthouse in Cedar Rapids is Evelyn's father, Andy Christie, of Waterloo.

"I'm not quite sure what it's about," said Christie, who shared custody of Evelyn with Miller and has known Frederiksen for about 10 years.

Previous testimony from other witnesses prompted a grand jury on Sept. 29 to indict Frederiksen on a single child pornography charge for allegedly possessing "sadistic and violent" computer images of minors engaged in explicit conduct, including movie clips depicting the sexual abuse of children.

I just have to respond to an above post. I don't know how to bring the quote down to my reply.
I find it VERY hard to believe Evelyn's mom had no idea her boyfriend was into kiddies and porn. Give me a break. I don't care if my bf or husband is the nicest guy in teh world and my best friend. If I work all day and he's home all day with the kids, not to mention on the computer, I will be curious to know what he does. To turn the other way is denial. There is no way she didn't know unless she didn't want to. She didn't protect her children!

Also, she didn't move out when she found out about the porn, as someone stated avoe. She moved out of their apartment WITH HER BOYFRIEND becuase of the all the memories in that apt. They then moved to another town TOGETHER where they were no longer comforted but were treated unkindly. (gee wonder why). She and her boyfriend gave a interview on local news about their move and being treated rudely. She didn't leave after finding this all out and she had to have allowed it by not leaving!!!

I wish parents would start protecting their children and stop playing stupid.

I saw that interview too. They were planning on moving again...2nd time after Evelyn's murder. I agree, the mom had to have been aware of what was on the computer or she wouldn't have tried to ditch it. I also have no doubt that Evelyn was this boyfriend's sex toy while mom was working. Anyone that downloads child porn...kids with kids, adults with kids is some kind of a sick S.O.B.

During that interview...they were outside and mostly they whined about the treatment they were getting from the neighborhood....new and old. I don't know that much about the mother but who is to say that she wasn't into the pot right along with her boyfriend? That could have helped her stay so layed back that she didn't pay to much attention to what was happening around her.

I have to say that an adult man...the father of two children...and that makes his living selling dope...isn't worth crap in my book. The mother had to know that he was dealing other wise where would their money have come from? I'm sure they had visitors day and night...10-15 mins each..per visit. No one is that dumb in this day and age. The mother was working in a nursing home and I know the wages are really low. I'll cut her some slack when it comes to Evelyn being used as a sex toy...only because she wasn't home at night but not when it comes to everything else.

It's a good thing that the state has the two little boys. My bet would be that the mother is still hanging in there waiting for her man to come home.

A grand jury met once again Thursday at the Federal Courthouse in Cedar Rapids. People questioned during the hearing said they were asked about Casey Frederiksen. Frederiksen is the fiancé of Noel Miller. Miller is the mother of five-year-old Floyd County murder victim Evelyn Miller.

Evelyn's father Andy Christie testified before the grand jury along with his brother, Jeremiah Christie. "They just asked about Casey's drug use and his computer," Jeremiah Christie said.

A different grand jury questioned Jeremiah about Frederiksen's computer last month. That grand jury indicted Frederiksen for possessing more than one thousand child pornography images and movies. Jeremiah says he was asked similar questions about Frederiksen at Thursday's grand jury hearing. "I felt like I was repeating myself a lot I mean they just asked me more about what I knew about computers they told me they're not investigating me and they weren't investigating me- of course I didn't have anything to do with this," Jeremiah Christie said.

Even though the grand jury appears to be targeting Frederiksen, the Christie family says they still stand by him. "We've always been a friend of Casey. We still support him. He hasn't had a trial. He hasn't had a chance to have his lawyers speak for him," Richard Christie, Evelyn's Grandfather, said.

I am surprised the Christie family is backing the boyfriend/fiance of Evelyn's mother knowing what they know. In local interviews they seem very educated, respectable, and also say things to imply that they think they know who did this but can't say yet. I wonder who they think did it. I also wonder why they still support the scumbag Fredericksen. (I also wonder if they really do support him or are just saying that to somehow help the investigation).

I am surprised too, but it seems that they think the mother is the guilty party, especially because the boyfriend passed a polygraph early on in the investigation. Their blog site gives some more info. on their perspective on this. http://evelynmillermemories.blogspot.com/. The following quotes are taken from this site:

"Casey is still a human being and as such he deserves the full legal respect due individuals under the law. He may indeed guilty of this despicable charge but that is up to the courts to determine. I do not believe that he had any connection to Evelyn's death."

"Noel, even though she has not been charged with anything yet, deserves the same respect. I believe that she was criminally involved in some way with Evey's death. I do not know that she was - I believe that she was. She deserves, if they are due her, charges to be advanced, indictments to be issued and a trial to commence."

"There seemed to be enough evidence to indict Casey based upon what I had heard from my son, Jeremiah and from the media. It is important to remember that Casey is innocent until proven guilty. We were sorry that he may have had that material on his computer, especially with three children in the home. I don’t know if this material has any direct or indirect relationship to the murder investigation that is in progress, time will tell. Casey passed a polygraph test early in the investigation of the murder. His alleged involvement with the pornography has placed increased strain on the families involved. We do pray that Casey and Noel cooperate fully with the law enforcement system in helping to solve Evey’s murder, it’s the least that they can do for her memory."

This is worse than I thought. The mother must have known since she was so upset that the neighbor gave the hard drive to the police. How could she have her children in the home with a man like that?

Some women are just so needy for a man (thinking they can't get anyone else) that they will sacrifice anything ...
and apparently that includes their own children :(

It does feel like this case is just creeping along. It has always bothered me too that Evelyn's dad didn't remove her from that home. Child Protective Services had been called enough and I'm sure that the dad was aware of Evelyn's home life. He is married with a little child. I hate to sound really down on her dad but I don't understand why he didn't take her and fight for her in court. She would probably be alive today if he had.

It's hard to believe that this guy wasn't fooling around with Evelyn...especially after watching all of the crap on his computer and the films that they had in the home.

I don't understand where that mother's head was at. She knew about all of the stuff on the computer and I would guess that she was aware of the movies in the home. I saw her and her boyfriend on one show talking about how everyone talks about them and thinks they are involved in Evelyn's murder. I wasn't impressed with either of them. They seemed more concerned about themselves then who murdered Evelyn. That was probably because her killer was sitting right there complaining. Poor little Evelyn.

Frederiksen pleads not guilty to charges


Cedar Rapids, Ia. – A Charles City man who lived with Evelyn Miller, a 5-year-old whose July murder remains unsolved, pleaded not guilty this morning to child pornography charges.

Casey Frederiksen, 26, pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids to 12 counts of receiving child pornography on various dates in 2003, 2004 and 2005 and two counts of possession of child pornography in January 2005 and July 2005. The indictment filed last week by the U.S. Attorney replaces a Sept. 29 indictment charging Frederiksen with one count of child pornography possession.

I wonder if Evelyn's mother was in court today to support her boyfriend???!!!!

[SewingDeb]

It always gets me when they have the evidence and these guys plead not guilty.

[KatherineQ]

I don't get it either. It's hard to tell if the dad really did know what she was going through - maybe he did, maybe not - but since he was remarried and had a child with the new wife, maybe she didn't want Evelyn, who knows. Her last picture taken in front of the chalkboard looks like a plea for help. But again, sometimes kids make weird expressions in photos.

Prayers for this sweet girl. Its unbelievable what some mothers (and fathers) will stand by and watch happen to their kids.

[Bobbisangel]

It always gets me too. Especially when they are caught red handed! I guess they do that hoping that a defense attorney can lie well enough to get the charges down or get them off. I always figured that if you are caught doing something you shouldn't be doing you might as well tell the truth. Seems a person would feel foolish saying "not guilty" when there is evidence that says otherwise. I guess we just don't have the minds of criminals ;)

Statue dedicated for Evelyn Miller

FLOYD (AP) --- An 8-foot statue celebrating the life of Evelyn Miller was unveiled Sunday at the Floyd Community Center, which served as the command post for authorities during their search for the 5-year-old girl last summer.

Miller disappeared from her home July 1. Her body was found five days later along the Cedar River less than two miles from her home.

The statue of an angel includes a medallion bearing the girl's likeness.

Pamela Hill, 32, of Clear Lake, was moved to memorialize Miller after following her story in the news.

"It was heart-wrenching. I couldn't stop thinking about her," said Hill, a mother of four.

"I had nightmare after nightmare. If it was one of my children ... what a wonderful gift to have her immortalized like that."

Hill said the weekend ceremony was private out of respect for Miller's family.

"It was very tearful, very emotional; they were so grateful," Hill said.

Floyd Mayor Trevis O'Connell was contacted by Hill the day after searchers discovered the girl's body. He liked the idea of placing a statue.

"If anything, it will be a reminder to parents to be more careful," he said.

O'Connell said events around Miller's death remain fresh in the minds of residents.

"I don't think anyone in Floyd will ever forget it," he said.

After clearing the project with Miller's family, the Floyd Community Center board approved the idea.

Several people donated to the project, but Hill said she charged about $1,200 to a personal credit card. She received about 15 cards and letters with donations, and more money was collected in donation cans set up around the area.

Besides being a memorial to Miller, Hill hopes the statue will serve as a reminder to parents to care for their children.

"It's not only how precious she was, but how they all are precious. It was just a horrid thing," she said.

Miller's death was ruled a homicide, but authorities have released few details.

Casey Frederiksen, 26, lived with the girl's mother, Noel Miller, in the rural apartment. He faces 14 counts of child pornography.

The federal charges state a computer hard drive Frederiksen owned contained more than 1,000 images of children involved in sexually explicit acts. Prosecutors maintain Frederiksen tried to hide the hard drive from authorities investigating Miller's disappearance.

Trial is scheduled for April 3 in U.S. District Court.

[Bobbisangel]

I am surprised the Christie family is backing the boyfriend/fiance of Evelyn's mother knowing what they know. In local interviews they seem very educated, respectable, and also say things to imply that they think they know who did this but can't say yet. I wonder who they think did it. I also wonder why they still support the scumbag Fredericksen. (I also wonder if they really do support him or are just saying that to somehow help the investigation).


laini



I'm surprised that the grandparents and family are standing behind Casey too.
I think that they believe the mother had something to do with Evelyn's death but that Casey didn't. I think they are in for a big surprise. Maybe both parents were involved.

There is no reason, in my book, for someone to have child porn on their computer unless they are into little kids. Any decent person would get sick just looking at one picture like that. Only a pervert would have that much of that junk downloaded. Casey probably looked at all the pictures of those poor little kids and got aroused and there was little Evelyn right there...available.

I don't believe that anyone came to their door that night or that Evelyn opened the door to anyone other then those two guys that stopped by...probably to buy some dope. It doesn't sound like LE is looking at those guys now. Sounds like they have their eye on Casey. His trying to slit his wrists no doubt just made them that much more suspicious. I think Casey knew that he was a suspect and that it was only a matter of time.

This little girl didn't have much of a life and I will never understand why her dad or his family didn't do something about the way she was living. Lord only knows there were enough calls to DHS. Evelyn's dad's brother spent time over at her house....he testified at the grand jury...so he knew what the home life was like. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that everyone who could have saved this little girl just turned their heads.

[MistyGirl]

In fairness to her Dad we don't know what he was doing to try to get her out of that home. We spent the last year fighting for my step daughter who was in the same type of conditionds and the courts & DHS services was not very helpful....we fianlly got custody of her & got her out of that hoem...but not by the help of the "system" but by paying the mother $5,000.00 dollars.

It is not as black & white/cut & dry as we all think it should be. It is very difficult to take a child from their mother...it is long long process and there is no promise that you will win. I believe I read that it was the Dad & his family that were the ones reporting the incidents to DHS and they were trying to get custody of her....but thing did not happen soon enough.

The two men that went to the door that night have admitted to being there, and they cooperated in the investigation.
My theory is that the two guys knocking on the door, and Evelyn answering it- woke Fredricks up. And that that is when something happened.
The family blames the mother, but wasn't she at work when Evelyn was reported missing? I thought she worked at night. So if Evelyn answered the door that night and she was reported missing the next AM- that leaves Fredrick as the only one home.

I agree with you. We know that Evelyn was in the home when those two guys stopped by. I believe the mother was working at a nursing home and discovered Evelyn missing when she got home that morning. I don't know what the mother knows and what she doesn't about Evelyn's death but she did know about all of that child porn on that computer and that alone should have been a major red flag to her. Poor little Evelyn.

No Leads Yet Six Months After Miller's Body Found

5K Reward Stands In Case

DES MOINES, Iowa -- It was six months ago Friday that searchers found the body of 5-year-old Evelyn Miller.

The girl disappeared from her Floyd apartment in the middle of the night. Nearly one week later, her body was found in the Cedar River.

An angel statue honoring Evelyn's memory stands in Floyd. Investigators have never named a suspect or made an arrest, but the case remains open.

There is a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

www.kcci.com (http://www.kcci.com)

[Bobbisangel]

I wonder if LE has no leads or if they just aren't talking? Little Evelyn can't have gone through the hell that she did and not get justice in the end.

Maybe it's just me but I'm suspicious of anyone who has child porn by the tons on their computer. Only people with really sick minds can stand to look at something so horrible.

[mysteriew]

I think that Fredricks killed her. But I think that Casey have been covering up since that time.
I think that it is over, life goes on, she 'loves' him, he didn't mean to do it.....and on and on and on. But I think she knows and she is actively covering up. I also think she knew the porn/virus story wasn't true. But, she ignored it for the same reasons. To me, that makes her just as guilty as Fredricks.
As far as the Dad, I think the system failed him as well as Evelyn. He made calls, made reports, and nothing.
First it costs a huge amount of money to go to court for custody. By the time you pay court fees as well as attorney fees......and there is no guarentees that when you get into court, with a scared child....there is not guarantee that the court will decide for you. And after repeated calls to DHS, with no results.....what is to make him think the court will believe him either?

[Bobbisangel]

I think that she knows too. I wasn't impressed with either of them when they did an interview on a program. They seemed more concerned about themselves then they did about the murder of Evelyn. For all we know they both watched the children sex videos and both downloaded that garbage. She really doesn't seem to swift to me. I'm sure that she is still hanging in there waiting for him to get out of jail.

I just hope that LE can prove that Casey is guilty. No one should get away with such a horrible crime. When they did the autopsy I wonder if they could tell if there had been sexual abuse or if she had been in the water to long for them to be able to tell. So sad what this little girl had to live through.

I believe that any time a parent believes their child is being neglected or abused they should step in and try to take them away from the other parent.
So many children die because no one takes them out of the invironment they are living in. Just calling Child Protective Services doesn't always work as we have seen over and over. It may cost a lot of money and it may take a lot of time but your child is worth it. Even if Evelyn's father didn't gain custody it may have straightened out her mother. If she really loved her daughter just the fear of having her taken away from her may have made her a better mother. I don't know....it just seems to me that a lot of people failed little Evelyn when they knew that her situation wasn't good.

I believe that it complicated things because Evelyn's dad and Casey were good friends. The dad's brother spent time at Evelyn's house with Casey and the mother. He testified at the Grand Jury. Maybe the dad didn't want to make waves with his friend.

[amom]

Bobbi-
From what I understand they were not friends at all. The father had ruffled all the feathers he could, calling DHS, trying to get custody, ect.

One question - What determines how many counts of child pornography someone is charged with? I know it is odviously not per picture, but how is that figured out? Thanks

[mysteriew]

Fredrickson has been asked to provide any alibis he might want to give for the dates and times that any criminal activity took place on his computer.
Porn trial set for April 3 in US district court.
http://www.kcci.com/news/7043909/detail.html

Amom, as far as I know it is one charge for each criminal act that they think they can prove. In other words, if he downloads a slide show with 12 pictures- that would be 1 charge. But if he downloaded 12 individual pictures, then that would be 12 charges- provided they can show they were all with children and that they weren't computer generated images. 1 movie would be one charge, no matter how many times he may have watched it. At least that is my understanding of how they decide the charges.

[amom]

myst. - thank you, that helps alot

I would swear that the two guys were friends. I know that the brother testified at the Grand Jury and that he had spent time at Evelyn's home. In the web site that Evelyn's grandfather has set up it sounds to me like he also knows Casey and doesn't want to believe that he had anything to do with Evelyn's death. I'm going to go back and see what I can find about a friendship between the two guys. I have to prove to myself that I'm not losing it ;)

I see that your question about "counts" was answered. I had no idea how that works. Has Casey gone to court yet on the porn?

[SewingDeb]

Bobbi,

He goes April 3rd.

[Bobbisangel]

Bobbi,

He goes April 3rd.


Thanks. It sure has taken a long time to get him to trial for the porn. Maybe that is a good thing though. While he is in jail LE can keep on looking for evidence.

This case makes me think of the Ricky Holland case. Those parents denied any wrong doing from day one. I think LE went back to their home with 3 different warrents. There was a lot going on behind the scenes that we had not a clue about until the Hollands were arrested.

LE on this case have been through Evelyn's old house, garage, new house and it is hard to say what they have come up with that we are unaware of. Something kept sending LE back to Evelyn's homes. Just like at Ricky's home.
I just think it is highly unlikely that Evelyn got up and left the house in the middle of the night....that someone else came to their house after the first set of guys showed up there at 2:00 or so in the morning. Although with Casey selling drugs who knows. I'm sure that is what the 2 guys were doing
there at that time in the morning. I wonder if LE found any DNA inside of Evelyn? Anything under her findernails. I just wish they would figure out who did this.

[amom]

THIS CANNOT BE RIGHT!!!??? LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THE STORY!! But it doesn't say anything about it in the body..??...

Frederiksen Set To Plead Guilty In Child's Death

DES MOINES, Iowa -- The live-in fiancé of Evelyn Miller's mother has entered into a plea agreement.

Casey Frederiksen, of Charles City, is scheduled to plead guilty Thursday morning to federal charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.

According a plea agreement filed Wednesday with the Northern District court, Frederiksen admits to two counts of possessing more than 600 images of child porn, and one count of receiving porn from July 17, 2003 to July 2005.

[Bobbisangel]

Well that sure is strange. It won't surprise me when he does plead guilty. Maybe they are going to make a deal with him....plead guilty to Evelyn's murder and they will drop the porn charges. Interesting.

[Bobbisangel]

Bobbi-
From what I understand they were not friends at all. The father had ruffled all the feathers he could, calling DHS, trying to get custody, ect.





I found a post writtens by Evelyn's grandfather over on CTV and I copied it but when I went to paste it here it wasn't there!!!! It is on Evelyn's thread there near the end.

He said that they...the family...have always thought of Casey as one of their own. He said that Casey and Evelyn's father had run around together since they were in their teens. That is why they are having a difficult time believing that Casey had anything to do with Evelyn's murder. He talks about the porn on Casey and Nicole's computer.

I wonder if the family knew that Casey had molested a child when he was in his teens and that he was kinky?

Your welcome Sewing Deb. I thought it was a good refresher article, but it seemed to me there were things in there that I didn't remember reading before. Also the updates on the kids was nice. Though it seems as though the families are splitting.

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

Thanks for the article, myst. I hadn't realized that there were so many problems with the parents. The whole thing is very, very sad.

[Old Broad]

What a sad story all around. From the article it seems that this little girl was in a very unsafe home and it's a good thing the 2 younger children were removed before it was to late for them. I hope an arrest can be made one day.

Old Broad

[mysteriew]

I thought the grandfather did have a good point about Fredrickson. If Nicole was at work, and had the car.....if Casey was at home with Evelyn, and if he killed her.....how did Evely end up in the river?
Wasn't the story to police that Nicole was the one who found her missing after she came in from work? So if she came home and the girl was dead, was there enough time for a run to be made to the river, before calling police?

[inquiringmindz]

This is a very informative article about Evelyn's past. The poor baby.



** SNIP**

Charles City, Ia. — A child abuse assessment report written about 5-year-old Evelyn Miller in April 2005 shows a social worker believed the girl's family was "functioning well."

Three months later, Evelyn was dead.

-----------

ALLEGATION #1
March 26, 2001: Someone claimed Noel Miller, 17, her mother, Diane Miller, 45, and Diane’s boyfriend were using drugs in the presence of 20-month-old Evelyn, who could have drugs in her system.
CONCLUSION
April 23, 2001: All three adamantly denied using drugs. Noel Miller refused to let a worker take a sample of Evelyn’s hair for a drug test. A judge chose not to order the test, but said seeking Child In Need of Assistance status for Evelyn was appropriate. Social worker Bonnie Frerichs said Evelyn was not in imminent danger but “at some risk for her safety due to her mother’s actions.”

ALLEGATIONS #2
Jan. 6, 2003 and Jan. 24, 2003: Someone claimed there were drugs in the home. Foil with residue was supposedly found in a bedroom. And the house, according to one of the callers, was filthy.
CONCLUSION
Evelyn Miller, 3, was not in imminent danger and no abuse was confirmed. Evelyn was neat and clean with no visible injuries, and going to preschool daily, Frerichs wrote in her report. Noel, 19, who was pregnant with her son, Gabriel, seemed “strong-minded and determined to make it on her own with her daughter.” Frerichs didn’t recommend any services because “the family is very knowledgable of how to access services.”

ALLEGATION #3
March 29, 2005: Someone claimed Evelyn, 5, had bruises on her back from her mother spanking her.
CONCLUSION: No abuse confirmed. Social worker Jenna Haglund saw one dime-sized, yellow, healing bruise and a scratch on Evelyn’s lower back. Noel Miller, 21, told Haglund the scratch was from picking up Evelyn from underneath a baby walker.

[Bobbisangel]

I for one hope that Noel never gets those little boys back. There is something wrong with her...mentally. It seems that she has been explosive most of her life. I wonder if she ever gets totally out of control. I can't even imagine going on TV and ranting and raving like a manic. It is just a shame that Evelyn wasn't taken out of that home before this happened. That little girl didn't stand a chance but the boys do and hopfully the foster parents will be allowed to adopt them and give them lots of love and a stable safe home.

It sounds like Noel has given up on Casey since he is in jail and has gotten herself a new fellow that isn't much better....drugs. She trys so hard to make people believe that she hasn't done drugs in years but if you aren't doing drugs then giving a UA should never be a problem. Instead she refused and even refused to let DHS take a strand of Evelyn's hair to test when she was little. Seems that she was running the show then to me and DHS just kind of went along with whatever Noel said.

I wish we knew who LE thinks committed the murder. I don't know how Casey would have gotten Evelyn's body to the river either but I think that he did. He could have stashed her body somewhere where it wouldn't be found for a couple days and the next time he used the car he could have taken her to the river. Her body wasn't found right away. I might not think he had something to do with it except he was home with Evelyn and that porn stuff between adults and kids weighs heavily on my mind. He is a pervert. No decent person gets off on looking at that kind of stuff. He had tons of it. I will never believe that he wasn't sexually abusing that little girl. I don't know if any evidence was found by the time they found her body. Who knows, maybe both Noel and Casey watched the stuff together....maybe they are both twisted. She is so paranoid that it makes me wonder if there isn't something that she feels guilty about. You know what they say about a person that protests to much. Regardless, I believe she is one sick woman.

Hopfully for the rest of the family's sake someone will be arrested for that beautiful little girl's murder. Someone has to pay for this horrible crime and give Evelyn justice.

[mysteriew]

DA says case is not "cold". Says the department is still working leads. Sheriff says that the case is emotionally draining, that it will never be over for the ones who are working the case. Says thoughts about the case continue even when they are on vacation, lying in bed, or driving on the road.
http://www.dmregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060627/NEWS/60627023/1001

[Bobbisangel]

Just knowing that this case hasn't been shoved onto a back burner makes me feel better. I'm glad that the detectives who have this case have gotten emotionally involved. That is what will keep them going. I'm glad that the media is reminding them of Evelyn because that too will keep them working the case.

I just have to believe that there will be an arrest when the time is right. I hope the person who took the life of this beautiful sweet little girl realizes that their days are numbered so they better enjoy the fresh air while they can. Unless they are already breathing that wonderful jail house smell of sweat and dirty socks ;)

Iowa news out of Des Moines- Danny Slick, one of the two men last seen with Evelyn Miller- he was one of the two guys that stopped by the appartment at 2:30 AM to party with Casey Frederickson, mom';s live-in fiance- has been arrested today for lying to Federal authorities- ie the FBI. He is not being held for Evelyn's murder at this time. Evidentally he initially told the feds that he and his roommate Randy Petrie returned home immediately after leaving the Miller/Fredericksen residence. Later, he admitted that RP left and was gone for several hours during the time Evelyn vanished . Authorities say more arrests may be forthcoming. RP is the same man who gave the interview to the Des Moines Register shortly after Evelyn's murder and who was complaining that people were looking at him funny. He of course proclaimed his complete innocence and lack of any knowledge of her disappearance. He took a lie-detector test after the murder which he failed- both according to him and the SDI.
Here we go again. the last people known to see Evelyn- she answered the door at 2:30 AM since she was sleeping on the couch- are the most likely suspects. Now I know why I still suspect JK2!!!!!!!!!!!!:dance: :dance: :dance: :woohoo:

So RP has several hours unaccounted for that night and he failed a lie detector test....

[mysteriew]

This means that they have known he lied for about a year. So why are they arresting him now? And who else is lying?

Danny Slick, one of the two men who admitted to being the last people to see Evelyn Miller alive, faces a federal indictment for making false statements to a federal agency...

"Although Danny Slick's federal indictment is directly related to Evelyn Miller murder investigation, it is a distinctively separate case," said Dettmer in a press release issued this morning.

Dettmer said state, local and federal authorities have partnered in the Miller case and often been frustrated by untruths and efforts to conceal relevant information.

"We feel the investigation has turned an important corner today by Slick's arrest," Dettmer said.

Other subjects, also associated with the investigation, who have not been truthful, may also be looking at federal charges...

Relatives of 5-year-old Evelyn Miller, whose July 2005 murder remains unsolved, hope federal charges filed Thursday could be a break in the case...

Slick, who was unshaven and wearing baggy jeans and a blue T-shirt that said, "I don't suffer from insomnia. I enjoy every minute of it," pleaded not guilty to the charges...

Magistrate Paul Zoss, appearing through closed-circuit television from Sioux City, set Slick's trial date for Sept. 5 before District Judge Mark Bennett. Slick was released from custody, provided he appear at all court hearings, maintain a job, continue with mental health counseling and stay away from drugs...

Slick told state investigators immediately after Evelyn's disappearance that he and "R.P." left Frederiksen's apartment, went back to their residence and stayed there except for a 15-minute period...

Slick now has admitted that "R.P." was missing for several hours on the night Evelyn disappeared, the indictment states. Court papers say he subsequently told Slick that he had "gone to get 'dope' at 'Porky's' house after he dropped defendant Slick off at their residence..."

Prosecutors say a web of lies is hurting their efforts to charge someone with the murder of five-year-old Evelyn Miller. Now they've accused Danny Slick of Charles City of being one of those liars...

"I'm just excited they're one step closer in getting them because I really miss Evelyn and they had no right doing this to us," Miller says...

Authorities say they are investigating other people associated with Evelyn Miller's murder, for not telling the truth...

"I'm just ecstatic, I'm happy I can't wait until we find more information," Noel Miller says...

If convicted, (Slick) could get ten years in prison and a half-million dollar fine.

KCCI.com - News - Frederiksen Says Two Men Played Role In Girl's Death (http://www.kcci.com/news/9450118/detail.html)

... Slick and Randy Patrie told the Mason City Globe Gazette in the past that just before Evelyn vanished during the dark of night, the two men stopped by her apartment to see Casey Frederiksen, Evelyn's mother's ex-fiance. All three men (Slick, Patrie, and Frederiksen) said that Frederiksen was sleeping at the time...

In an exclusive interview with NewsChannel 8 before Slick's arrest, Frederiksen was adamant he did not kill Evelyn and said he treated her like his own daughter. Frederiksen is in jail awaiting sentencing on child pornography charges.

Frederiksen said that he suspects that Slick and Patrie, the ones that last saw Evelyn, showed up, took her and did something.

"I don't even know exactly what happened," he said...

"To finally be able to say something that informs the public as to why we have been working on this for a year feels good," Dettmer said.

Well thank God something is about to happen in this case. People are so stupid to lie to LE. They should know that the truth will come out in time. I'm anxious to see who else they arrest for lying and who ends up the suspect.

It doesn't look good for the guy that was gone for a few hours that morning.
The man they just arrested should have been smart enough to ask his roommate why he wanted him to lie for him. If the guy was gone for a few hours the guy who was just arrested should have had a good idea why...with Evelyn missing and then found in the river. The guy couldn't have been that dumb!

What a nice invironment for those kids to live in with Casey selling drugs out of the apt. Selling dope is probably what got Evelyn murdered...all of those low lifes coming to buy dope at all hours of the day and night.

[Bobbisangel]

This means that they have known he lied for about a year. So why are they arresting him now? And who else is lying?



Randy Petrie also lied at the same time his roommate lied...why have they not arrested him for lying? Anyone who lied should be arrested. I don't know how Randy P would ever prove his alibi as he said he went to score some dope. Even if that were true his dealer sure isn't going to alibi him :eek:

How are they ever going to prove who murdered Evelyn? There probably wasn't any DNA to be found by the time they found Evelyn's body in the water. I wonder if Randy P has any history where little kids are concerned? Wonder if he was into child porn. I wonder how he acted when he got back home....if he acted any different then usual.

I also wonder why they waited for a year to arrest anyone. If they have known that a bunch of people were lying why not confront and arrest them then? Wonder what is going on with the Grand Jury?

Evelyn’s murder investigation enters 2nd year (http://www.charlescitypress.com/articles/2006/07/04/news/news02.txt)


As the investigation into Evelyn’s death stretches into its second year, three factors may give clues as to why the probe has become so lengthy.

Authorities weren’t sure what Evelyn’s status was during the six days between when she was reported missing and when she was found. That uncertainty forced them to stretch their resources thin to explore all possible scenarios.

It is possible that the spot where Evelyn was found was not where the murder took place — which would have left authorities without a primary crime scene from which to gather key evidence.

It is also unclear what condition Evelyn’s body was in when she was discovered. Experts believe that if Evelyn’s body had been in the spot where it was found for even a couple of days, it would have deteriorated quickly, leaving even less of a hint as to what really happened.

The discovery of Evelyn’s body was just the beginning of the mystery... (much more)

[Bobbisangel]

It doesn't sound to me like LE has any idea who murdered Evelyn. In the article Marilyn Dettmer said that at first they had to issues to work with or something to that effect...."was Evelyn missing"...well that shouldn't have been to hard to figure out. Her mother had reported her missing because she wasn't at home and couldn't be found...obviously Evelyn was missing. The second issue was "had she been harmed?" Well that was what LE was supposed to find out...find Evelyn and then they would know whether she had been harmed or not. I would think that when a little 5 yr old girl isn't at home where she should be at 6:00 something in the morning and her mom can't find her anywhere it is pretty obvious that someone has taken her and there is a good chance that she will be harmed unless LE finds her first. I can't see the big deal for LE with these two issues. Sounds pretty par for the course for LE to me. You start seaching for a missing little girl.

I wonder if they have questioned the people yet that they know lied to them at the beginning of the investigation? For some reason I get the feeling that these LE officials don't have to much on the ball.

Sioux City Journal: Slain girl's grandfather urges healing at candlelight vigil (http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2006/07/04/news/iowa/fc055aa1607716bc862571a1000fce06.txt)

The grandfather of 5-year-old Evelyn Miller said the families who were torn apart by the child slaying are trying to pull together and mend fences.

"I think we made some progress here tonight," said Richard Christie, of Windsor Heights, during a candlelight vigil on Sunday for the child who died a year ago this week...

A deep rift split Evelyn's relatives after her death.

Some refused to speak to the child's mother, Noel Miller, of Charles City, including Andy Christie, of Waterloo, who's Evelyn's father. Both were at Sunday's vigil.

"It's time to let bygones be bygones," said Miller, who has been deprived of custody of her two young sons in part because of the Christie family's criticism of her parenting.

"Rather than fighting and accusing each other, we should all be together," Miller said.

Andy Christie said that even though a year has passed, he can still see the hundreds of volunteers searching for his daughter, hoping to find her alive.

"I have five years of joy I choose to focus on," he said.

... family members ... remember Evelyn as a smart, caring and brave child who loved all the frills of being a girl.

“She was a very girly girl...”

Relatives said Evelyn liked rainbows and butterflies and playing with her Barbies and My Little Ponies

“She could sit down for hours and hours playing Barbies,” said Evelyn’s stepmother Lindsey Christie of Waterloo...

Evelyn especially loved playing dress up...

The day held happy memories for Linda Christie as well.

“Her and my other granddaughter were sitting on the table eating icing off the table cloth,” she recalled. “I remember that and how beautiful she looked that day...”

“She loved to cuddle, and to take naps with her grandpa,” said Richard Christie. “And her grandpa likes to take naps whenever he can...”

(So many sweet recollections of Evelyn in this article.)

Slightly off topic but I just read one of the earlier reports on this case. In it, the reporter stated that Noel and Casey were not permitted to help in the search for Evelyn. Why is that? If my child, God forbid, went missing, I don't think I could remain out of the search without someone drugging me and binding me to keep me at home. In my way of thinking, nobody knows my children the way I do. I can finish my kids' sentences and know what they are thinking just by the look on their faces. Wouldn't, then, a parent be the obvious choice to help look for a child, knowing their kids' best friends, favorite hangouts, etc? I know this girl was only 5 but still......

Danny Slick, one of the two men who admitted to being the last people to see Evelyn Miller alive, faces a federal indictment for making false statements to a federal agency...

"Although Danny Slick's federal indictment is directly related to Evelyn Miller murder investigation, it is a distinctively separate case," said Dettmer in a press release issued this morning.

Dettmer said state, local and federal authorities have partnered in the Miller case and often been frustrated by untruths and efforts to conceal relevant information.

"We feel the investigation has turned an important corner today by Slick's arrest," Dettmer said.

Other subjects, also associated with the investigation, who have not been truthful, may also be looking at federal charges...



They arrest Slick because he lied about his roommate leaving the apt. the night that Evelyn went missing. What about Petrie....he is the one that left the apt. and he also lied about leaving. Why in the world hasn't he been arrested yet? This makes no sense at all.

In a article where Marilyn Dettmer is explaining why the investigation has taken so long she says that at first there were two issues that they had to deal with which made it difficult....the first issue was "is Evelyn missing" and the second issue was " is she hurt." Now first of all...if parents call and say that their child is missing and she can't be found anywhere after they have looked everywhere that should tell LE that the child is missing. A no brainer.
The next issue..."is she hurt?" Well common sense would tell you that until you find the child you aren't going to know if she is hurt or not. If she just went for a walk...wandered away maybe she isn't hurt. If someone took her then 9 chances out of 10 she is probably hurt unless LE finds her before that happens. I just thought what Dettmer said was pure bullchit. Excuses for why they didn't make any headway right away. What did they do...sit and ponder if she was really missing and if she was hurt.

I think this police department needs to call in the FBI to help them with this case. When two people have lied to them from day one but it takes them a year to decide to bring one in that lied but didn't leave home yet they don't bring in the other one that lied and did leave home that night for a few hours...something is wrong with their thinking. Why didn't they haul both of them in...put them in seperate rooms and play their usual cop games with them. Tell the one that left home that his buddy is squealing on him and telling them the whole story. Tell the one that didn't leave home that his buddy that has told them that he is the one that actually left home. Get them to turn on each other. The one that didn't leave home probably knows a lot more then he is telling. I can't believe how dense these police who are handling this case are.

[Bobbisangel]

..I would be just like you but LE be scared to death i know a lot of them and they know what type of a gun and pistol shooter iam..they have to disarm me then handcuff me.....Only thing I can see on the reason why you couldn't look be trace evidence.. that's a very good question more i think about it the more Iam questioning my own thought's on the matter..DNA should be same on mother's side..trace evidence well you both go to the same place's stay same place...I just can't give you a honset answer on this...Most every person on here is very nice LET"S HEAR FROM SOMEBODY!!! kidzndogznme Got I Very Good Question??????



I think the reason that LE didn't want Nicole and Casey looking for Evelyn had something to do with thinking that they might be involved with her disappearance. They might have figured that they wouldn't go anywhere near where Evelyn might actually be so they wouldn't be much help.

I don't see how LE could have stopped them from doing searches on their own though. This LE works like none I've ever heard of though so it is hard telling what their reasoning was. Their entire logic escapes me.

Gee Casey, maybe people think you are involved in Evelyn's death because of all of the child/adult porn that you had on your computer and the same type of videos that you had in your home. Only twisted people like to look at that type of stuff. That is the stuff that is found in child sexual predators homes when they are busted for rape of a little child or murder of the same.

I also think Casey should carry a little more guilt then "my only fault was that I didn't wake up when she needed me." That isn't your only fault Casey...if you hadn't been dealing pot out of the home that 3 little kids lived in those two guys wouldn't have even stopped by there at 2:30 am. If that is your idea of making a living to help support the family...your way of making a living was illegal and it got a 5 yr old little girl murdered.

Whether Casey was physically involved in Evelyn's death or not he was still involved but in a way that he won't go to prison for. His dope dealing brought those guys to his door and right to Evelyn. He may as well have handed her to them or at least to the one guy. That's my opinion anyway.

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

I wonder ... did Casey ever admit to the child porn? Is it possible that it was one of the low-lives that would stop by that surfed the net for that garbage on Casey's computer?

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

Excuses for why they didn't make any headway right away. What did they do...sit and ponder if she was really missing and if she was hurt.What I read from the issue of her being missing was that initially, they weren't looking for a suspect because they needed to focus all of their resources on finding Evelyn. It wasn't until after they found her body that they concerned themselves with a suspect.

I do believe that the lies have hindered this investigation. If there are no forensics pointing to a particular person then all LE has to go on is circumstantial evidence, including witness testimonies. Since the loser that has since been arrested was providing an alibi for the other guy, and no one else could refute that, what else could they do really? I'm thankful that they somehow got to the bottom of the lies and were able to arrest him. I truly believe that it's only the beginning and that this case will break soon.

Remember that Noel took the hard drive over the the neighbors so LE wouldn't get it. The neighbor gave it to LE and the neighbor and Noel got into a verbal fight outside over it.

They also had videos of little girls and adults. There was tons of that chit on his computer. I don't think anyone else was involved but Casey and possibly Noel.

But why didn't they also arrest the other guy? He lied too and he is the one who was supposed to have left for a time. I wonder if they believe that they have the right guy and he still isn't being honest?

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

Remember that Noel took the hard drive over the the neighbors so LE wouldn't get it. The neighbor gave it to LE and the neighbor and Noel got into a verbal fight outside over it.Oddly, I don't remember that at all. LOL. :confused: Thanks for the info, Bobbisangel. :)

I wonder if they believe that they have the right guy and he still isn't being honest?That's an interesting possibility that I hadn't thought of. Maybe they think that they can get good evidence in the form of testimony out of him before arresting the other guy. Maybe they believe that even if they arrest the other guy, they can never get a charge that will get him behind bars for good so they need to build a case first by getting as much testimony against him as possible first. Perhaps there are others that might get frightened by this arrest, and will come forward with information as well. I don't know but I hope they get Evelyn's killer off the street as soon as possible. We all know that the pig that did this to her will do it again.

[Bobbisangel]

It doesn't matter to me who murdered Evelyn....I just want the person who is responsible to be arrested and sent to prison forever or worse. This beautiful little girl has waited to long for justice.

You are probably right about why they just arrested the one guy. I hope he knows a lot and he tells it all. If he was with his roommate then he needs to say so. After all, they did both stop at Casey's to get dope...who is to say that they didn't go back there together that night and take Evelyn. I was thinking that if they had arrested both of them for lying maybe they could turn them against each other during interrigations.

... A sentencing hearing for Frederiksen, (Evelyn's step-father), 27, was set for Aug. 10 in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids.

Frederiksen pleaded guilty in February to three felony child pornography counts, admitting that he downloaded more than 600 photographs and video clips off the Internet that featured sex with children who were 12 and younger...

The judge said she would take into account the man's past, including an alleged 1992 sexual assault on a minor when he was 13.

Frederiksen will spend at least five years in prison, and possibly 40 or more. When he gets out of prison ... he will be under supervised release. He must give a DNA sample and register as a sex offender.

In February, Frederiksen told the judge that he has had behavior problems since childhood, and that he had entered the psychiatric wing of a hospital several times.

"I intentionally downloaded to the hard drive," the man had told Reade when asked about the pornography...

Why doesn't she just cut the crap and plead guilty and she won't have to worry about a jury trial. If she got caught driving the car she should step up to the plate and take her punishment.

Interesting that Casey has admitted that he has had behavior problems since childhood. I would imagine sexual stuff has been one of his problems. He got caught when he was a teen but probably just hadn't gotten caught since.

I will always believe that he molested Evelyn. There is no way that he could have been into child porn that heavily and not molested that little girl. There she was with him every night while her mother worked. The little boys were to young to even know what was happening.

I can't believe that he hasn't been sentenced yet. I hope he gets the max sentence. I still wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have something to do with Evelyn's death. His doper buddy had a car which would have been a way for them to get rid of her body. If he had anything to do with it I hope it comes out when one of those guys finally tell the truth. Who is to say that Casey was actually asleep when those two guys stopped by.

I think they must have something up their sleeves. They arrested one instead of both of them for some reason. I hope someone finally admits who did this to that beautiful little girl.

We just have their word that Evelyn came to the door when they went there. And just their word and Casey's that he was asleep when they stopped by. For all we know all three of them could be responsible for her death. It could have happened when they stopped by that first time. They had a car so they could have disposed of her body after they left. I have a hard time believing that Casey wasn't involved just knowing the way he was into the child porn. Maybe they all watched child porn together and then raped and murdered Evelyn and then disposed of her in that water. I just wish we would find out the truth and someone or all of them pay for what happened to that little girl.

A judge sentences 27-year-old Casey Frederiksen of Charles City to 14 years in prison for possession of child pornography. Frederiksen is the ex-fiance of Noel Miller...the mother of five year old murder victim Evelyn Miller...

In a plea agreement Fredericksen agreed to not to appeal the ruling. The judge decided to sentence Frederiksen to 14 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release...

Several family members were in the courtroom for the sentencing. "We do love him and will continue to support him in every way we can."

Family members say they will also be there for Casey when he gets out of prison. The judge requested that Frederiksen be transferred to the prison in north Carolina for sex offender treatment. Following the course she requested he be placed in a prison near family.

Casey Frederiksen, 27, received the longest sentence allowed as part of a plea agreement he signed with federal prosecutors.

U.S. District Judge Linda Reade said during a hearing Thursday in Cedar Rapids that she imposed the 14-year term because of a 1992 incident in which Frederiksen, then 13, assaulted a 6-year-old girl and because Frederiksen tried to hide his computer hard drive from investigators.

"I will sentence this defendant at the high end of the range, given the reasons laid out," Reade said. "Specifically, the very serious prior history."

... Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Berry said Frederiksen's computer held 1,600 images of child pornography, including a 13-minute video showing a child being sexually abused.

A judge sentences 27-year-old Casey Frederiksen of Charles City to 14 years in prison for possession of child pornography. Frederiksen is the ex-fiance of Noel Miller...the mother of five year old murder victim Evelyn Miller...

In a plea agreement Fredericksen agreed to not to appeal the ruling. The judge decided to sentence Frederiksen to 14 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release...

Several family members were in the courtroom for the sentencing. "We do love him and will continue to support him in every way we can."

Family members say they will also be there for Casey when he gets out of prison. The judge requested that Frederiksen be transferred to the prison in north Carolina for sex offender treatment. Following the course she requested he be placed in a prison near family.

Casey Frederiksen, 27, received the longest sentence allowed as part of a plea agreement he signed with federal prosecutors.

U.S. District Judge Linda Reade said during a hearing Thursday in Cedar Rapids that she imposed the 14-year term because of a 1992 incident in which Frederiksen, then 13, assaulted a 6-year-old girl and because Frederiksen tried to hide his computer hard drive from investigators.

"I will sentence this defendant at the high end of the range, given the reasons laid out," Reade said. "Specifically, the very serious prior history."

... Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Berry said Frederiksen's computer held 1,600 images of child pornography, including a 13-minute video showing a child being sexually abused.



This is so sickening. He had 1,600 pictures of little children committing sexual acts and a video of a child being sexually abused. When he was 13 yrs old he assulted a little 6 yr old girl! I will never believe in a million years that he wasns't sexually abusing Evelyn. He is one sick pervert. And to think that little girl was alone with him nights while her mother was working. The pervert probably thought he really had it made having that little girl alone all night.

Did he let those two guys use Evelyn too? Did something happen to her at her own apartment. I wonder if those two guys were involved in that child porn too. I will always believe that Casey was involved in Evelyn's death. He is one sick animal. He won't admit it unless LE can prove it. I hope one of those two guys start talking.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa A man believed to be one of the last people to see Evelyn Miller alive is due in federal court in Sioux City this afternoon.

Danny Slick of Charles City is to be sentenced for lying to federal agents investigating the girl's 2005 disappearance and death. He admitted to giving false statements in the days after the five-year-old girl disappeared from her apartment in Floyd.



Miller's body was found days later in the Cedar River. No charges have been filed in her death

[Bobbisangel]

So what has happened to the guy that this guy lied for? He hasn't been hauled in yet..after all of this time. Convicting this guy for lying to the FBI or whoever isn't helping find the person who murdered little Evelyn. When is there going to be justice for her?

This little girl had the odds stacked against her right from birth. She was neglected and had a mother that has about half a brain in her head and a male living in the house that watched porn...acts with children...all of the time...made his part of the living selling pot from the home and probably sexually abused Evelyn on a daily basis. Evelyn roamed around the apartment complex at all hours and then the worst happened to this beautiful little girl...she was raped and murdered and there has been no justice for her. If there was any evidence LE would have had it checked in a lab by now. I know they are slow but not this darn slow.

Maybe LE should get Casey and his two buddys together and crack some heads until someone talks. End of my rant.

Sioux City Journal: Slick sentenced to 1 year and a day for lying to agents (http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/articles/2007/02/22/news/local/35f4e12946ff944a8625728a0007245d.txt)

... Danny Slick, 27, of Charles City, Iowa, was sentenced to one year plus one day in prison after earlier pleading guilty of making false statements to federal investigators...

In explaining the prison sentence's extra day, U.S. District Judge Mark W. Bennett said a quirk in federal sentencing laws requires that offenders sentenced to 12 months are required to serve 100 percent of their sentences. Anything longer than a year allows inmates to earn 15 percent off of their sentence for good behavior...

His attorney, Leslie Stokke, of Cedar Rapids, said Slick had "misplaced loyalties" at the time he lied to investigators. While in custody, Slick has cleaned up his life and reconnected with his family...

Bennett waived a $250,000 fine and said he would recommend to the federal Bureau of Prisons that Slick be placed in a halfway house near his home...

Noel Miller Loses Custody of Her Boys (http://www.woi-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6101737&nav=menu115_2)

A Floyd County judge has terminated the parental rights of Noel Miller to her two younger children...

... over Noel Miller's objections, a judge has permanently cut her legal ties to her two sons, who are two and three. The boys have been in foster care since shortly after their sister disappeared.

Miller will be allowed to have one final visit with them in the next few weeks.

The boys' father, Casey Frederiksen, has voluntarily signed away his rights to his sons...

The boys are now eligible for adoption.

... a Floyd County judge has terminated her parental rights to her two younger children...

Reached by telephone Thursday, she said: "I'm not talking about it, sorry..."

The judge found that the two boys had been removed from their parents' physical custody for longer than six months, and that the parents had not maintained significant and meaningful contact and had made no reasonable efforts to resume care of the children...

Relatives of the boys' father declined to comment on the case Thursday because of confidentiality rules and because they had not seen the judge's order.

But relatives have said in the past that the boys' foster parents are taking excellent care of the boys and would like to adopt them.

Last December, Miller was hospitalized for mental health problems. Police were called to her home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, records show. Police said Miller was allegedly carrying a knife with a 5- to 8-inch blade. Miller later said she heard voices calling her a "baby killer..."

(The article goes on to outline some of Miller's past problems.)

[Bobbisangel]

Dan Slick is in jail for a year and 1 day and Noel won't ever get her boys back and we are still no closer to knowing who raped and murdered little Evelyn.

So did Slick and his roommate go right home from Evelyn's apartment or what. Slick is in jail for lying about his roommate being at home but where was the roommate actually at? Did LE ever figure that all out? For the life of me I can't see the advantage of jailing Slick when it didn't bring about any info about Evelyn's murder.

Is there ever going to be justice for little Evelyn?

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

IMO, they jailed Slick simply because they had to. He lied to authorities and since that is a crime and he was caught, he got convicted ... although it's hardly a serious sentence.

I believe that they're still looking at that other character. He's probably their number one suspect; at least I can't see how he wouldn't be. Hopefully it's just a matter of time because it's horrible to think that someone can do this to a young, innocent child and get away with it.

[Bobbisangel]

Time goes on and on and nothing is happening on this case. I wish we would hear if they actually are looking at the other guy. I still believe that Casey is somehow involved in this. He is a little pervert with all of that child porn on his computer and I will always believe that he used Evelyn as a sex toy. It just makes common sense. I just wonder if he passed her around to the dopers that stopped in to buy pot.

It's hard to tell if those two guys were actually the last people to see little Evelyn that night. Who knows who might have stopped in to buy some dope after they left. It's hard to believe that people don't keep the locks on their doors in working order. I guess they weren't concerned about people just walking on in while everyone slept.

I just want justice for little Evelyn. This innocent little girl didn't have a great life from the time that she was born. She should at least receive justice. It is heartbreaking to think of what happened to her. I wish someone had stepped in and jerked her out of that home.

Agreed. And what gets me is that her natural father and his family seem like fine people. Too bad he didn't have custody.

It seems like the family had made many pleas to Child Protective Services to check on Evelyn and there had been numerours complaints about Evelyn's mom and her boyfriend. CPS didn't do anything until it was to late for Evelyn. I believe that Evelyn's dad did try for custody or was trying to get something going in court. It's to bad he didn't just go take her and then fight for her. When you know that your child is being neglected and that a pervert is raising your child...Casey...how can you leave them in that atmosphere knowing that something awful could happen to them? Sometimes you just have to say "screw the system." Especially when your kid's well being is involved.

I understand the question you ask about "how can you leave them in that atmosphere" and I wholeheartedly agree. The biggest problem that I see in situations like this is that the parent who decides to "screw the system" would get in so much trouble that it would prevent their actually being able to help. Does that make sense the way I worded it? In a situation like Evelyn's, it seems like her father did make attempts to get her out but had he taken her from the mother without permission of the courts, there would have been hell to pay. It appears that more and more the "system" doesn't work and it is so frustrating to see this happen around us, more and more.

I understand what you are saying and agree but because the system didn't work and the dad was afraid to just take her this little girl is dead. I don't know what the answer is but something has to change. Notice that after Evelyn died the little boys were taken out of the home and will never be going back!

I think that if I knew that my child or grandchild was being neglected and or abused and CPS wasn't doing anything after report after report I would just take the child and move far away. I wouldn't be able to just leave my child or grandchild there and live with myself. I know that the family never dreamed that Evelyn would end up dead but just look at the mess she lived in and the people who were raising her. Poor little thing.

I totally agree with you and I wish any of us could know the answer on how to change a system that doesn't seem to work in a lot of cases. Sometimes I wish it was as easy as an unfit parent just giving their child to the parent who could do better by the child- and it could be that easy? I've never been faced with this situation, but I believe I would want to scoop up the children and run fast and far away. It hurts the mind, body and soul to know what Evelyn suffered through and I pray that changes can be made somewhere, somehow that there aren't anymore of these cases.

He isn't offering outright amnesty, but Floyd County Sheriff Rick Lynch also isn't out to hammer anyone for smoking pot if that person can help solve the Evelyn Miller's murder.

Lynch is convinced someone knows something that will help resolve the 2-year-old crime. And he hopes fear of being busted for some minor offense isn't preventing the source from stepping forward.

"Our main objective all along has been to solve this murder," Lynch said. "We don't care what other kinds of skeletons or shadows people might have..."

Lynch is frustrated by people who agree to talk to authorities but don't show up for an interview or "manipulate or minimize the stories." He said the incomplete information often sends officers on wild goose chases, costing the investigation time and money...

"I think everyone who has worked on this case, our deputies, the DCI agents and the FBI agents believe we are going to solve this case," Lynch said.

"People have to have faith and trust," he added. "It is very serious and it can't be put together hastily."

Deputy Travis Bartz, the lead investigator in the Evelyn Miller case for the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office, said they are currently doing interviews and following up on new leads. He said he was unable to elaborate further.

“It is not a cold case by any means,” said Bartz.

While the investigator said there continues to be “people of interest,” he did not say if there any suspects in the murder...

(Evelyn's paternal grandmother) plans to continue holding memorials to remember Evelyn every year until her granddaughter’s killer is found.

“It’s been two years and there’s been no arrest. It’s just a way to remember Evey. I will not stop until somebody is arrested,” she said.

[PrayersForMaura]

CHARLES CITY – Investigators have told Evelyn Miller’s family that they have narrowed the list of suspects in the 5-year-old girl’s murder case to three people.

“I talk to the investigators about once a month,” said Linda Christie of Windsor Heights, Evelyn Miller’s grandmother. “We’ve been told that the list has been narrowed to three suspects.”

This week marks the third anniversary of the disappearance and murder of the 5-year-old girl, who was reported missing in the early morning hours of July 1, 2005, and found dead in the Cedar River five days later.

Floyd County Sheriff Rick Lynch and investigators at the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation won’t release details of their investigation, but say they remain optimistic that the person, or persons, involved will be brought to justice.

“There are a lot [/URL]of things we can’t share with the public,” said Floyd County Sheriff Rick Lynch. “We have to ensure the integrity of the case.”

Good updates from your link, PrayersForMaura:

Noel Miller lost her appeal to regain custody of her two young sons, who were put into foster care shortly following Evelyn’s murder.

Miller, 25, formerly of Charles City, also pleaded guilty to a charge of going armed with intent and served two days in jail on the charge. She has since moved to California.

At the time of her abduction, Evelyn was in the legal custody of her mother. Her father is Andrew Christie of Waterloo.

The boys’ father, Casey Frederiksen, has voluntarily signed away his rights to his sons.

Frederiksen is now serving a sentence of 14 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to possession and receiving or attempting to receive child pornography.

... Linda Christie of Windsor Heights, the grandmother of Evelyn Miller, said investigators have told her that there are three suspects in the case.

“I talk to Chris Calloway (of the Department of Criminal Investigation) every month for an update,” she said. “They work on it every day. They want to solve this case. They really do. They always reassure me that they’re working and will solve the case. ... They’ve narrowed it down to three. That’s a nice short list. The person that killed Evey is starting to get a little worried I would think.”

Lynch said the Sheriff’s Office has met with the DCI investigator at least five times this year. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is active with the case, as well.

“We never let this case go to black and white. It’s always in color,” said the sheriff. “We keep it in color by constantly talking about it. ... I’m not to any point of ever calling it a cold case...”
