Halifax police confirm remains of Catie Miller were found in November

HALIFAX – Halifax police say human remains found in November have been identified as Dartmouth woman Catie Miller.

Miller, 29, was last seen in Dartmouth on July 15, the day investigators believe she died. Three people have been charged in connection with her death.

Miller’s father said the family still hasn’t been given access to her remains and police haven’t yet decided when her remains will be returned to the family.

John Miller said it’s possible his daughter’s remains could be held until the court case is over as the three people charged are accused of indecently interfering with a dead human body.

“We want to have the court case as successful as possible, so whatever it takes,” he said.

Jason James Johnson, 29, and Kelly Amanda MacDonald, 33, are both facing charges of first-degree murder and indecently interfering with a dead human body.

George Edward Hubley, 30, is facing charges of accessory to murder after the fact and indecently interfering with a dead human body.

Investigators were searching four scenes for evidence when the remains were found.

John Miller said in November that he understood his daughter had a brief relationship with Johnson that had ended by the time she went missing.
