Angela Brosso
Angela Brosso, a 22-year-old woman, vanished during an evening bicycle ride along the Arizona Canal in Phoenix on November 8, 1992, the eve of her 22nd birthday. Her decapitated body was found the next day near the canal path, and her head was recovered from the canal eleven days later. DNA tied the killing to the September 1993 murder of 17-year-old Melanie Bernas along the same canal, and in 2014 forensic genetic genealogy narrowed the unknown attacker to the surname Miller. An undercover DNA sting led to the January 2015 arrest of Bryan Patrick Miller, a local figure known as the Zombie Hunter, who was convicted of both murders in 2023 and sentenced to death.
