Well Patrick

It is very bizarre.

But the enviromental issue is very alive because the whole area is under development. It is attached to a reservoir and involves dredging and all other kinds of issues.

The developer faces continuous battles from the environmentalists.

There was an extensive alarm system in the house and it was gated.

However, I believe the story goes that the alarm was off and the gates were open. Even if the gates werent open you could climb over them.

When I heard the thing was on America's Most Wanted I couldn't believe it but I heard they slanted it towards the environmental issue. I think it is one of those crimes that will never be solved and just ends up with a 14K square foot house destroyed. there was some story circulating about a person seen walking a dog in the wee hours of the morning....

the lots in this community are large (Millers was approx. 5 acres) and you would not walk a dog on the street at 4 in the morning.

You can imagine it was pretty traumatic for the Millers. The wife fell in love with the house but didnt buy until Miller got his new contract. Then to have the thing burn down AFTER they sold their old house left them in the lurch and it didnt burn down until the previous owners had moved out (and they are the parents of the developer). So if it were enviromentalists you would think they would have taken action while the previous owners were there. However, maybe they saw the opp because the house was empty and no one would be killed etc etc etc.

But the wife supposedly had a very expensive ring in the house..along with some of Miller's memorbilia..and some rugs I think.
I kept thinking why in the world would she have put this expensive ring (cant remember the price..like 40K) in the house. And if she did want to put a 40k ring in the house...there would be all kinds of places to hide it that would make it very hard to find...unless she left it in an obvious place

the whole thing is bizarre...but the Millers and the previous owners are cleared from the investigation.

To think someone would burn down a 14k square foot house in an exclusive community because of race (not to mention it is a beloved sports figure) blows my mind.

that kind of thing happened in the 60's....
