This day in history: The world's first Internet murder happened on this day in 1999. Bruce Miller was found dead at his junkyard in Mt. Morris, Michigan on November 8, 1999, killed by a 20 gauge shotgun. His wife Sharee Miller, convinced her online lover Jerry Cassaday to kill him (before later killing himself) was convicted of the crime.
The trial made national headlines; Miller's life was profiled on A&E American Justice, Investigation Discovery's Deadly Women and on the Oxygen Channel's true crime series Snapped. The case was the subject of a book, Fatal Error, by Kansas City Star reporter Mark Morris and Paul Janczewski. A television movie produced by Lifetime Television titled Fatal Desire, starring Eric Roberts and Anne Heche, was based on the case. There also was an episode on Forensic Files about this case ("Web of Seduction", season 8, episode 24). The case was covered in a 2017 episode of Murderous Affairs titled "Dead Silence." Miller also admitted her crimes to the show "2020" in February 2022. This case was also covered in an episode of Murder, Mystery & Makeup by Bailey Sarian.
The History and Mystery of Alchemy is now available on Amazon...and it is only 99 cents.
