Illicit Facts About Jim Miller, The Cowboy Hitman
The Wildest Man In The Wild West
The Wild West attracted degenerates, but Jim Millermay be the worst. But you know what they say about karma...

1. He Had A Tragic Past
In 1861, James "Jim" Brown Miller was born in Arkansas. A year later, Jacob and Cynthia Miller moved their family to Texas. But Miller soon lost his father. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they sent him away to live with his grandparents. He didn’t take it well.

2. He Was A Bad Kid
Miller was a precocious child—but in the worst ways. One day when he was just a boy, a gruesome discovery was made at his grandma and grandparent’s home: their lifeless bodies.
And it didn’t look like an accidental or natural end, either. Authorities suspected foul play…and the main suspect was the couple's eight-year-old grandson.

3. He Was Accused
When the authorities hauled the eight-year-old Jim Miller away, it looked as though his life was over before it could really begin. Only, they let him go, and he was never prosecuted. To this day, it remains a mystery why.
If Miller’s grandparents were his first victims, they were far from his last.

4. He Got A Fresh Start
Miller returned to his mom and siblings afterwards. The rest of his childhood passed without any major incidents—that we know of. But everything changed when his sister Georgia married John Coop.
The newlyweds allowed their 19-year-old brother to live with them on their farm. That turned out to be a horrible mistake.
