GALVESTON — When Janet Miller heard a movie about murdered and missing Texas girls was about to be released and that it was called Texas Killing Fields, it was too much to take.

“I cried all day and into the night,” Miller, 64, said.
Her daughter, Laura Miller, was reported missing Sept. 1, 1984. Laura's body was found two years later in a field in League City. Because three other bodies had been found there during a seven-year period, the spot had become known as the Killing Field.

“Every day, I think of her,” Miller said. “When I heard about the movie, it was rough. It was like her going missing all over again.”

Miller said she was at first angry the movie, which opened nationwide earlier this month, was coming out.

“I was upset because no one notified me,” she said. “The parents should know what's going on.”

Texas Killing Fields is a fictional movie loosely based on a series of murders and disappearances that happened in Galveston County since the early 1970s.

While the main characters are based on real police officers — Capt. Brian Goetschius, former Narcotics Task Force Commander Mike Land of the Texas City Police Department and former La Marque detective Pam Mitchell — and its title borrows the media name given to the League City field, no cases from the county are directly mentioned in the movie.

“I don't know what the movie is going to be about, but it bothered me,” Miller said. “Even though it's fictional, I have mixed feelings about it.”

Her ex-husband, Tim Miller, who founded the search group Texas Equusearch in response to his daughter's murder, was angry when he first heard the movie was being made. It wasn't until about a month ago that he found out from Goetschius the context of the movie.

“Why didn't anyone come and talk to me or any of the other families?” he asked.

Now, he sees an opportunity to spread the word about the cases connected to the real Killing Field.

“As strange as this may sound . . . we don't know who Jane Doe (body found 1986) is and we don't know who Janet Doe (body found 1991) is, and I am their only voice,” Miller said. “I am father to all the girls out there. Even more important than finding out who killed them would be to go ahead and get Jane and Janet Doe identified.

“So at least their parents would know after all these years their daughters are not coming home.”
