Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, Dylia Diambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today

takes place in Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in Georgia. This is a region I've

talked about before on this show in a previous episode of Park Predators titled The Conspiracy.

A lot of the feedback I received after that episode was released came from

people who live near this park, grew up in the area or who have visited it before. So many of you

who DM'd me or commented on posts on social media said that you were totally surprised to

learn that violent deaths, unrelated to the park's bloody war history, have happened there.

The murder of Anthony Tony Miller from the conspiracy episode was a very obscure case that took a lot of digging to be able to cover.

And today's story is similarly underreported.

I heard about it a long time ago while visiting eastern Tennessee, but it's taken me a few

years to hunt down all the court documents and news coverage associated with it.

The case started out as a mysterious missing persons investigation in New York, but things

quickly changed when law enforcement all the way down in Georgia discovered a body.

From there, authorities began connecting dots between a couple that were decades younger than the dead man

and a series of suspicious activities along a road trip into the deep south.

This is Park Predators.

Music I'm Around noon on December 12, 2015, some hikers in Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park near Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia,

were on a trail enjoying their walk when they stumbled upon the body of a deceased man laying on the ground next to the path.

Right away, the visitors dialed 911 and got in touch with local authorities to report

the gruesome discovery. Even though the victim had been found inside the National Park and the

NPS was initially contacted, it was officers from the city of Fort Oglethorpe who responded

to the scene to handle the investigation.
