This is Bill Miller, the last person to see Jean Sanseverino alive in 1951. (I wrote about Jean in the book.) For the longest time I didn’t know who this was. The picture was in the case files without a caption or explanation. Then, a year into my research I read a witness statement that described Bill Miller as missing three teeth and part of his thumb.

The 1951 detectives narrowed their search down to four persons of interest (these are people detectives are not ready to call suspects). Bill Miller was one of their favorites.
