Overview

• Ruth R. Miller, 40, was charged Wednesday with two counts of aggravated murder in the death of her 4-year-old son, along with two counts of domestic violence and one count of child endangerment.
• Investigators say Miller told them she threw her son, Vincen, off a dock to “give him to God,” and that her husband, Marcus, 45, drowned earlier while attempting to swim to an offshore sandbar during a separate test of faith.
• Sheriff Orvis Campbell says Miller is in a secure mental health facility for evaluation, and court records indicate a planned arraignment was canceled.
• Divers recovered Vincen near the dock on Saturday evening and later found Marcus about 53 yards from the dock on Sunday; the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s autopsies are pending.
• The couple’s three surviving teenagers are with relatives, and the family’s Amish church says the events do not reflect its beliefs and attributes them to mental illness.
