Remains discovered on March 11, 2013
On March 11th of 2013, human skeletal remains were
found in the 7000 block of 146th Road northwest of
Winfield, Kansas near the railroad right of way. Found
near the remains was a hospital issued wrist band dated
September 9, 2012 with the name “Adam Miller”. D.N.A
testing has been completed and the identity of the skeletal
remains have been confirmed to be Adam Tyler Miller, a
white male, 38 years old. After examination, forensic
scientists were unable to detect any evidence of foul play
from those skeletal remains.
It is known that a “Adam Tyler Miller” was in the
Arkansas City and Winfield area at that time. He had been
cited or arrested for criminal trespass on railroad property
in Arkansas City. The first incident occurred on
September 9, 2012 where he was cited and the second on
September 12, 2012, when he was arrested and booked
into the Cowley County Jail. Railroad officials reported
that they had two prior contacts with Adam Miller on
railroad property or trains. On both of those incidents he
listed himself as homeless. During his booking admission
at the Cowley County Jail, he also self-reported several
significant health problems. On the September 12,
incident he was released on an O.R. bond through
Arkansas City Municipal Court at 5:56 p.m. and left the
Cowley County Jail. There were no further contacts with
law enforcement after his release.
Subsequent investigation revealed he was from the
Albuquerque, New Mexico area and had family members
in that area. He left there approximately five years ago
and there had been no contact with him and those family
members since. Sheriff’s Investigators would still like to
talk with anyone who has information about him or his
movements since September 12, 2012. A photograph of
“Adam Tyler Miller” as he is known to the Cowley
County Sheriff’s Office is attached. If anyone has any
information about Adam Tyler Miller’s movements,
please call the Cowley County Sheriff’s Office at 620221-5444 or 620-441-4555.
