WOOD COUNTY — A former East Texas deacon, who was caught living a double life, has been transferred to Pennsylvania to face a murder charge dating back to 1981. Authorities moved Joseph Lewis Miller, 78, from the Wood County Jail to the Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, jail Thursday. He is charged with homicide and a parole violation. The suspect is being held on no bond, according to Dauphin County Warden Dominick DeRose. Dauphin County First Assistant District Attorney Fran Chardo was confident in the state’s ability to put Miller away for life, even though his case is more than 30 years old.
U.S. Marshals arrested Joseph Lewis Miller Monday, April 21, 2014, in Mineola, where he was living under an alias, Roy Eugene Eubanks. Miller, previously of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was charged with the January 15, 1981, fatal shooting of Thomas Waller.
