Miller is the cousin of Steven Lee Smith. She sifts through the papers that document his murder in 2008. Smiths roommate, Wesley Kelly, hit him with a padlock, causing him to fall into the Wabash River. Kelly pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 years in prison in 2010.
All the while, Smiths body was never located.
We kind of lost our hope that we would ever find him alive, but weve still clinged to the hope that youll get closure, even if its just in recovery of remains, said Miller.
