Authorities say new leads have surfaced in Bobbie Miller murder investigation

GILFORD — An attorney for the N.H. Department of Justice said Tuesday that two or three additional people have recently come to them with information about the October 2101 murder of a Gilford woman.

Benjamin Agati said the information has triggered a new round of interviews and a number of new leads in the five-month old investigation of the homicide of Roberta "Bobbie" Miller.

"This investigation has not stalled in any way," Agati said.

On Nov. 1, Miller and her golden retriever were found by an unnamed family member shot to death in their home on County Club Road.

Investigators said she was murdered some time between Oct. 29, 2010 — a Friday — and Oct. 31, 2010 — a Sunday. In previous interviews Agati said the last time someone reported seeing her alive was that Friday morning.

He declined to say where she was spotted only that it was "locally."

Police have released very few details about her death and the ensuing investigation but have said Miller died from "multiple" gunshots to the head.

Agati said the laboratory analysis "are pretty much complete" but the state homicide unit awaits some "secondary and tertiary" results.

He also said toxicology reports showed there was no other factors — for example poisoning — that contributed to her death. Agati has also said if there was an underlying crime, such as robbery or burglary, there was no evidence of it.

Miller was recently divorced from Gary Miller — the former owner of Miller Chevrolet in Wolfeboro and Miller Ford in Sanford, Maine. After what a few of her friends described as a long and nasty battle, the divorce decree became final in August of 2010.

Miller had purchased the 123 Country Club Road home in August and filings at the Belknap County Registry of Deeds showed she had sold the property to JBB Trust — of which she was the trustee — and recorded the deed on Oct. 29 at 11:15 a.m.

The house has since been sold for $173,000 and the deed was recorded on March 2 in Book 2695 page 0273 at Belknap County Registry of Deeds.

Jennifer Haskell was Miller's attorney and said she saw her in her Ossipee offices on Oct. 27.

Miller's next door neighbor, Roger Ladd, said Miller would wave to him when she walked her dog but that she had just moved to the house and he didn't know her well. He said the day her body was found he was home all day, except for a brief midday errand, and neither saw nor heard anything unusual.

Miller also co-owned with her former husband a three-season camp in Acton, Maine that burned to the ground on Oct. 29. Maine fire investigators have since ruled the fire accidental.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Office of the Attorney General at 271-3671 or the Gilford Police at 527-4737.
