Reed will go on death row for Miller killing

NEW CASTLE, Pa. — A Lawrence County man found guilty of killing his girlfriend will go to Pennsylvania’s death row.

Jurors spent less than two hours today deliberating the fate of 36-year-old Dennis Reed after having found him guilty in his girlfriend’s death on Thursday.

He will be the only man from Lawrence County on death row. There are currently 223 men and five women on Pennsylvania’s death row.

Wendy Miler, 28, was killed in December 2001 of a single gunshot to the back of her head. Her body was left by Reed in the woods near the Neshannock Creek. Reed then took three of her children and lived out of Miller’s vehicle for a week driving from New Castle to Butler.
