Sex, Lies & Betrayal: The Internet’s First Murder Case

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Bruce Miller with me today.

On November 8, 1999, 46-year-old Bruce Miller was found dead at his junkyard in Flint, Michigan, the victim of a shotgun blast. His wife, Sharee Miller, had conspired online with an internet lover to lure him into a deadly trap. She misled her lover by claiming abuse, a fake pregnancy and the need to escape, all to manipulate him into pulling the trigger.

At trial, prosecutors described how Sharee’s elaborate digital double-life built the perfect cover while the real motive was money and manipulation. She was convicted of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, receiving life in prison.
