Miller disappeared from her home on July 4, 2022. Since then, local law enforcement and multiple agencies have conducted extensive search efforts, utilizing drones, helicopters, boats, and a grid search to locate her, police said.

The body was identified through dental records, and DeKalb County Sheriff Patrick Ray confirmed that the investigation has now been transferred to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), classifying the case as a death investigation.

Due to the sensitive nature of the inquiry, authorities have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding how the body was found or the cause of death.
