Decades-Long Quest for Justice in Texas Killing Fields Nears Trial

Decades after four young women were found dead in a League City field known as the Texas Killing Fields, prosecutors say James Dolphs Elmore Jr. helped dispose of Laura Miller’s body and contributed to her death, leading to a trial on manslaughter and two counts of felony evidence tampering; the investigation has also linked two other victims, Audrey Cook and Donna Prudhomme, to the same area via DNA/genetic genealogy, while their killer Clyde Hedrick died by suicide before he could be charged. Laura’s father Tim Miller—founder of Texas EquuSearch—has spent years seeking justice, and the case underscores ongoing leads in the broader Killing Fields investigations.
