Tim Miller Never Stopped Hunting His Daughter’s Killer
5/12/202639 min
This episode is a deeply personal and emotional conversation with Tim Miller, the founder of Texas EquuSearch, about the 1984 disappearance and murder of his daughter Laura. Greta introduces Miller not just as a grieving father, but as someone who turned his pain into a lifelong mission to help other families find missing loved ones. The interview retraces Laura’s case from the moment she vanished, through the indifference and failures of local law enforcement, to the agonizing 17 months before her remains were found. Miller explains how, from the very beginning, he believed the authorities ignored obvious leads, dismissed the case, and allowed the people responsible to remain free. The heart of the episode is Miller’s account of what happened next over the following decades. He describes how he kept investigating on his own, gathered evidence, pressured officials, and never let go of the belief that he owed it to Laura to keep going. Eventually, a man connected to Laura’s death came forward and gave details that led to charges against another accomplice, even though the suspected primary killer died before facing full justice. Miller also reflects on how his daughter’s murder drove him to help countless other families, including in high-profile cases like Natalee Holloway. The conversation becomes less about one solved case than about endurance, grief, institutional failure, and a father’s refusal to quit, even after more than 40 years. Got a comment or question?

There's a phone call no parent ever wants to receive. That's that his or her child is missing, or worse, dead. That happened to Tim Miller in 1984. On September 10th, 1984, his daughter Laura vanished. The police were not of much help, but Tim spent every night and day looking for his daughter Laura. About 17 months later, her remains were found. No help from the police, not from anybody else. Tim did the investigation all himself. So how do I know Tim Miller? Because Tim Miller is the most unusual man, and you're about to meet him. I had a conversation with him, and you're gonna be the voyeur listening to the conversation. But Tim Miller made it a life's mission to help every other parent who had a child who was reported missing or dead. And in 2005, in that horrible hot sun in Aruba, some of you may like Aruba. I hate Aruba. I would never go to Aruba. But I was there investigating the Natalee Holloway case and reporting. And so in the very hot sun, Tim Miller, on his own dime, came from Texas to Aruba to help Dave Holloway and Beth Holloway find Natalee Holloway. It was unbelievable. I watched this guy, and he would go up and down that island searching every square inch. He spent so much time. And you can ... You know
