A Washington mother who admitted to murdering her 8-year-old adopted daughter — then hauling the child’s body across state lines in a U-Haul — has been sentenced to more than three decades behind bars. Mandie Miller, 36, was sentenced to 32 years in prison Friday in Spokane County Court after pleading guilty to homicide by abuse, second-degree child assault, and two counts of unlawful imprisonment tied to the death of her niece and adopted daughter, Meela Miller, KREM reported. Miller and her boyfriend, Aleksander Kurmoyarov, were arrested in South Dakota in December 2022 after authorities learned they were traveling from Washington State to the Pine Ridge Native American reservation with the girl’s body inside a U-Haul trailer.
