Overview

• Ruth R. Miller, 40, was formally charged with two counts of aggravated murder plus domestic-violence and child-endangerment counts, with an arraignment set in New Philadelphia Municipal Court.
• Capt. Adam Fisher said Miller told investigators she threw her 4-year-old son, Vincen, from a dock to "give him to God" after believing she was acting on divine instruction.
• Sheriff Orvis Campbell said husband Marcus J. Miller, 45, apparently drowned hours earlier while attempting to reach an offshore sandbank in what was described as a test of faith.
• Authorities said Miller later drove a golf cart into the lake with her three older children aboard, who were uninjured; a rescuer reported she asked them to pray instead of helping.
• Divers recovered the boy’s body Saturday near the dock and found Marcus early Sunday about 53 yards away, while autopsies by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner remain pending and the family’s church cites mental illness.
