‘Zombie Hunter’ killer who lamented life on Death Row has been linked to ANOTHER victim as police revisit horror-obsessed former Amazon delivery’s chilling confession eight years ago

By James On Oct 28, 2023

A ‘confession’ made by the ‘Zombie Hunter’ sentenced to death for the murders of two young women could link the death row resident to another victim, authorities believe.

Bryan Patrick Miller, 51, who earned his nickname because of his elaborate steampunk costume, is awaiting execution for the murders of Angela Brosso, 21, and Melanie Bernas, 17, in Phoenix in the early 1990s.

But now a chilling confession Miller allegedly made to his ex-wife eight years ago has emerged, potentially linking him to a third case: the disappearance of 13-year-old Brandy Myers in 1992.

Brandy’s body has never been found and there is no physical evidence linking Miller to her disappearance. Authorities point to an interview Miller’s ex-wife had with an FBI agent and a Phoenix police detective in which she told authorities he admitted to killing a teenager matching Brandy’s description.

Now, another apparent confession Miller allegedly made to his ex-wife has emerged, potentially linking him to a third case: the 1992 disappearance of 13-year-old Brandy Myers.

“There are many secrets about Bryan Miller that we still don’t know about. “We can’t prove it, but we’re all convinced that Bryan Patrick Miller killed Brandy Myers.”

Stuart Somershoe, a retired missing persons detective from Phoenix who investigated Brandy’s case, told NBC News, “He would never harm another woman or child, and that’s important.”

However, he said it was “frustrating” that Brandy was largely lost in the media coverage surrounding Miller’s high-profile trial.

“That really frustrates me because again, she’s a real victim,” he said.

“She did nothing wrong and did not deserve the fate that befell her.”

Miller told Dateline that he was not involved in the murders of Brosso and Bernas and said he disagreed with the defense presented at his trial.

His lawyers had argued that he was not guilty by reason of insanity.”

Miller will serve his sentence in a special management unit at the Eyman Prison Complex in Florence, Arizona.

The convicted murderer’s trial took place nearly thirty years after the first murder, and since then he has expressed his frustration with the justice system, asking: “How is anyone supposed to defend themselves… for a crime committed decades ago ?’

The convicted killer has publicly criticized prison conditions, complaining about the “cold” and the quality of the food.

“I am even more isolated from those I care about and also from my legal team. The food is still not great and the cells are getting very cold as temperatures drop,” Miller told the TV show 48 Hours in October.

He also expressed frustration with his trial, which took place nearly 30 years after the 1992 murders.

“How is someone supposed to defend themselves and prove anything for a crime committed decades ago?” He wrote.

Miller’s lawyers claimed he suffered from dissociative amnesia and could not remember his role in the killings.

They also said his mother, who died in 2010, had abused him as a child, leading to mental health problems – something the trial judge agreed to after hearing evidence.

“My mother was not a very good person in many ways, but what helped was that, when I was an adult, she acknowledged that she had done terrible things to me and apologized,” Miller wrote. However, he insisted: “I continue to maintain that I did not commit the murders.”

Miller said his biggest regret was not seeing his daughter, who was only a teenager at the time of his arrest.

It took investigators six months to link Brosso and Bernas’ deaths to Miller through forensic evidence

Miller was found to have a sordid history of violent crimes and stabbed another woman in 2002 after offering her a ride. He was acquitted of these charges when he claimed she had tried to rob him

“What I miss most is spending time with my daughter and friends,” he said.

It took investigators six months to link the deaths of Brosso and Bernas to Miller, failing to make a breakthrough until his arrest in January 2015.

The horror-obsessed killer had acquired a decommissioned police car in Washington and drove it around Phoenix, calling himself “the Arizona Zombie Hunter.”

On a Facebook page dedicated to his hobby, Miller wrote, “Keeping Arizona safe from the things that go bump in the night. Also available for your event.’

It later emerged that the former Amazon delivery driver had a checkered past, including the 2002 stabbing death of another woman in Everett, Washington.

The woman, Melissa Ruiz-Ramirez, accepted a ride from Miller, who took her to his workplace and stabbed her in the back with a 12-inch serrated knife.
