Overview
- A Tuscarawas County grand jury indicted Ruth Miller on seven counts, including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, three counts of domestic violence and one count of endangering children.
- Miller pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity at her Sept. 8 arraignment and is being held in the county jail after an earlier psychiatric hospitalization.
- Recently released body-worn camera video shows Miller telling officers, "I gave him to God," and speaking about her husband being swallowed by a fish.
- Investigators say Miller experienced a 'spiritual delusion' during the Aug. 23 incident at Atwood Lake; dive teams later recovered the bodies of her 4-year-old son and her husband.
- Authorities say three older children survived after a golf cart went into the water and are now with relatives, and a bond hearing is scheduled for Sept. 25 at 1 p.m.
