Christopher Terrell Anderson, the man alleged to have killed Hannah Miller of Rhinelander in June, is in Oneida County custody. He is scheduled to make his initial appearance at 1:15 p.m. today in Branch II of Oneida County Circuit Court.

Tri-County Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Executive Director Shellie Holmes said the organization is grateful to the judicial system and the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office for bringing Anderson back to the community.

“We believe that justice in our courts will be served on behalf of Hannah,” Holmes said. “Nothing can bring Hannah back or ease the pain of her family and friends for her life being taken, but we can find comfort in the hope that the accused will be convicted in Oneida County and will never being able to harm anyone again.”

Miller, 26, was found dead of a gunshot wound on River Bend Road in the town of Pelican, near U.S. 8 East June 30. Law enforcement had been searching for Anderson, 30, since then. Miller and Anderson were in a relationship and had a child together.

Anderson, 30, was arrested Sept. 7, in Illinois. He was extradited and booked into the Oneida County Jail Oct. 26, on a charge of first degree intentional homicide. Oneida County Sheriff Grady Hartman said last month Anderson was arrested in Carol Stream, Ill. based on information received from a confidential informant.

The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigations arrested Seth A. Wakefield, 24, of Rhinelander in July. Wakefield is charged with being party to the crime of first degree intentional homicide and conspiracy to commit first degree intentional homicide. He is in jail on a $250,000 cash bond and is awaiting a competency hearing currently scheduled for Dec. 2.
