Convicted Texas Killer Accused of Romancing Female Jailer

KIIITV News

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - The first convicted killer to be committed under the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Program -- has been arrested again.

This time 45-year-old Wesley Wayne Miller is accused of secretly starting a relationship with a female jailer.

Miller was arrested Tuesday at the Cold Springs Jail, where he was required to live under terms of his civil commitment order.

Miller has been charged with violating a civil commitment requirement, a third-degree felony.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the 21-year-old jailer has been suspended pending an internal affairs investigation.

Miller is now in the Tarrant County Jail.

Miller was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 1982 for stabbing Retha Stratton, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader. Miller also was a suspect in a string of rapes.

-- Two years later, he pleaded guilty to burglary with intent to commit rape in Saginaw and was sentenced to 20 years.

-- Over the past two decades, Miller was released from prison on mandatory supervision several times under a state law in effect when he was convicted.

I wonder what lies he told her and how he told her to have her under his spell. I feel sorry for the 21-yr old female. Maybe she was going through something difficult in her personal life and the predator sensed it.
