Less than two weeks after the body of 31-year-old Brittany Ann Miller was found, investigators have now officially ruled her death a homicide.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said Tuesday afternoon, January 21 in a brief statement that the autopsy performed by the state medical examiner has confirmed Miller’s death to be a homicide. The cause of death has still not been disclosed.
The murder case is being investigated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
“We want to thank everyone for all of the news tips and support given over the last two weeks since the discovery of Brittany’s body. We want anybody who has any information who has not reached out to call 1-800-TBI-FIND or emailTipsToTBI@tbi.tn.gov”,” said Sheriff Ray.
Meanwhile, Miller’s memorial service has been scheduled for Saturday, January 25 according to the obituary as follows:
On Saturday, January 14, 2025, it was discovered that Brittany Ann Brock Miller of 860 Hurricane Ridge Road, Smithville, Tennessee, was no longer with us.
Brittany was born on October 15, 1990, in DeKalb County to her parents Bridget Annette Green Brock and Rodna Wayne Brock, Sr. Her father predeceased her.
Most importantly, Brittany was a Christian and a faithful member of the Indian Creek Memorial Baptist Church. She was always willing to help with things that needed to be done. She was a very kind-hearted person. Brittany was a wonderful mother, who went to great lengths to see that the girls were cared for. She loved to play with them, go swimming, go to the park, do crafts, work in the garden, flowers and yard. They were the love of her life.
She cared for her household by helping tend a garden and then harvesting it and preserving the fruits of her labor. She loved to share with others. There was not a lazy bone in her body. She would don work clothes and go mow yards. She worked at various jobs to bring money into the household.
She was last employed part time with Walmart. Brittany was very close to her mother and talked to her or visited every day. Since she was oldest child, her brothers loved her very much and looked up to her.
With a hole in their hearts, she leaves to mourn her passing her daughters, Samantha Willow Miller and Chloe Mae Miller; her mother, Bridget Ann Green Brock; brothers, Rodna Wayne (Susan) Brock, Jr., and Tyler DeWayne Brock, all of Smithville, Tennessee; aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of friends.
Brittany claimed these comforting words from Job when he had lost everything: “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Job 19:25-26
A Memorial service celebrating Brittany’s life will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Indian Creek Memorial Baptist Church, 967 Hurricane Ridge Road, Smithville, Tennessee. Visitation with the family will begin at 12:30 p.m. and extend until time for the service at 2:00 p.m.
The family thanks Love-Cantrell Funeral Home for their loving and gracious assistance.
