An Ohio native who “disappeared” in 1994, was assumed dead because of his long department, yet when he resurfaced a couple of years ago trying to gain a driver’s license, the presumed corpse got a nice little surprise and is learning the hard way that it is not that easy to resurrect yourself from the dead, hit the jump for more detail!
As 61 year old, Donald Miller Jr. vanished years ago due to an over due child support balance of $26,000, the time has now come for the man to pay his dues. “Miller went to court this week to ask a county judge to reverse a 1994 ruling that declared him legally dead after he had disappeared from his home eight years earlier. But the judge turned down his request, citing a three-year time limit for changing a death ruling.”
“We’ve got the obvious here. A man sitting in the courtroom, he appears to be in good health,” said Davis, who told Miller the three-year limit was clear.
“I don’t know where that leaves you, but you’re still deceased as far as the law is concerned,” the judge said.
Miller’s ex wife opposed of his decision and has stated that she does not have the money to pay back Social Security benefits that were paid out to her and the couple’s two children.
“It kind of went further than I ever expected it to,” Miller said. “I just kind of took off, ended up in different places.”
Miller stated that his parents told his about his “alleged” announcement when he had finally returned home. He claims that what prompted him to leave was his alcohol addiction and unemployment in the 80’s. He lived in Florida and Georgia before his 2005 return to his hometown of Ohio.
