Title: D.I. Bob Miller - A Life Well-Lived.
Post by: Holly Goodhead on August 31, 2014, 11:27:31 PM
Bob Miller, pictured in July 2013, handing over letters from Dudley Moore to Valence House Museum's Clare Sexton, assistant archivist.
Bob leaves behind wife Maureen, 63, daughters Claudia-Jane, 37, and Candice, 35, plus two granddaughters.
“He was a gentle, loving, family man who was respected by many – inspirational, always positive and always smiling,” said Maureen. “He had a huge breadth of knowledge and enriched many people’s lives.”
A keen Daggers fan, Bob still attended matches reguarly, despite spending his later years in Chelmsford, where he rose to the police rank of detective inspector.
Bob’s funeral will be held at Chelmsford Cathedral on Monday, September 15, at 1pm.

Very sad... seems he was an affable bloke with many interests and a dapper penchant for bow-ties.
If it hadn't been for Bob Miller and Stan Jones now also no longer here, Jeremy Bamber would have "got away with murder" and we all might not have met here on the net trying to get to the truth behind the WHF case.
Loved the comment in the Channel 5 documentary about Jeremy Bamber's blasé "I'm the Boss" throwaway line on the day of the funeral (37:30), and his more serious recollections from 25:38 onwards to the end.
Think I too would have suspected something fishy with Bamber's upbeat couldn't-care-less attitude if I was present at the cottage before the Wake in '85.

Bob Miller presented well (save the Essexy twang) and it didn't surprise me when I learned that he was at one time an aspiring actor.
The 'Boss' clip reminds me of JB's birth father exposing his braces at a charity event in aid of a type of childhood cancer which had afflicted an extended family member. So perhaps a bit exuberant given the occasion? Likewise for JB at his adoptive family's wake &%+((£

Several articles about former Detective Inspector Robert (Bob) Miller of Essex Police - a leading investigator in the 1985 WHF murders.
Unfortunate and sad that he passed away at the relatively early age of 66 years in 2014, and didn't get to enjoy more of the retirement time he so richly deserved...

No doubt this will lead to the mother of all debates %#&%4%

How anyone can mistake the two defies belief and so obvious as soon as you saw it. Was the 'disgust' typewritten by the CT deliberately meant to mislead about Bob Miller's feelings?

It serves as an excellent example of how wishful thinking and the use of a single inappropriate word can change the entire meaning of something.
I must have read through Jeremy's WS numerous times but it was only yesterday that I cottoned on that everything that's been said about Sheila's mental condition prior to her death PROBABLY started from there. But Jeremy's statement refers NOT to the time after her second release, but the time PRIOR to her first admission. I do believe that conversations were taking place THEN about her inability to care for her children and the possibility of more help with their care -she hadn't been diagnosed/wasn't on medication then- and I believe it was THIS conversation Jeremy incorporated into his scenario of what was happening at WHF before the murders.
