Following the brief, procedural hearing, Larsen scheduled Miller's next hearing for September 21.
Miller was arrested on March 5 in Archuleta County, Colorado, a day after Margaret Oldroyd, Linda Dewey, and Natalie Graves were found murdered.
Dewey and her niece, Graves, were originally found dead on an unidentified trail near Capitol Reef National Park, and Oldroyd was later found dead inside her Wayne County home in Lyman. However, it's believed Oldroyd was killed before the two victims on the trail off SR-12.
Miller allegedly stole a vehicle from either Dewey or Graves, which was then tracked through Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico before it was found abandoned in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Following a brief search utilizing drones, Miller was apprehended without incident in the remote area of Colorado.
