Daniel Gregory Miller

Daniel Miller cold case missingDANIEL GREGORY MILLER was last seen on 05/02/07 swimming with “other boys” in the Calcasieu River near Oberlin, Louisiana.1 The “other boys” were actually young men of Daniel’s age.

A resident of Jennings, the 21-year-old had recently received a large sum of money from his father’s 1987 wrongful death suit. Ironically, his father’s accident occured while working on a barge in the same river Daniel disappeared in 20 years later. It’s unknown if the ‘inheritance’ played a factor in his disappearance.

Family must suspect foul play as his grandfather’s obituary notes Daniel preceded him in death.2
