SMITHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two years later, the body of a missing woman in DeKalb County was found last weekend by two hunters in a wooded area.
Brittany Miller, 31, went missing two and a half years ago. Her body was discovered in an area off of Man Hill Road in the Snow Hill community, Sheriff Patrick Ray said.
Miller went missing on July 4, 2022.
There were several search efforts in the community around her home, with no trace of Miller. But her body was found more than a mile across Highway 70 from her home.
The state medical examiner confirmed the identity through medical records and Miller's family has been notified. There is no word at this point on how Miller died.
Now, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will handle the death investigation.

Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
