A man claiming to be an associate of convicted killer Clyde Edwin Hedrick showed Tim Miller where the couple allegedly ‘threw a lot of stuff’ in Texas’ infamous ‘Killing Fields’ and where Hedrick allegedly stalked Miller’s daughter before she don’t disappear.
It was an off-the-beaten-track area near their former home where “nobody else knew she had been,” Miller told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
On several occasions since April 2022, the man has encountered Miller on his way to Calder Road along Interstate 45 on the coast of League City, Texas. This is where Miller’s 16-year-old daughter, Laura, was found dead in 1986.
“He said, ‘Here. Stop here. Stop here,’” Miller said. “So I stopped, and he kept looking out the window, and he said, ‘We threw something right there. I said that’s exactly where Laura was dumped.

“He said, ‘I don’t know what it was, but we threw something in there. “So I asked him, ‘How many times have you been here?’ He said, ‘Clyde and I used to come here all the time and throw stuff.’”
They were looking at a 25-acre plot of land that was the subject of Netflix’s true-crime documentary ‘Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields’, where 30 bodies – mostly women between the ages of 12 and 25 – were been found since the 1970s.
Miller did not name the man who claimed to be Hedrick’s associate, citing the man’s cooperation with law enforcement as investigations into the “Killing Fields” cases, including that of Laura , remain active.
No one has been charged with criminal charges in The kidnapping and death of Laura in 1984, but Miller has long suspected Hedrick. Miller won a $24 million wrongful death lawsuit against him after Hedrick failed to show up at the civil trial, according to authorities and court records.

The criminal case remains open and active, Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady said in July 2022 after Miller won the civil lawsuit. “Clyde Hedrick has not been ruled out as a suspect in these investigations,” Roady said.
Miller and the man who said he had been with Hedrick for years continued on their way when Miller asked him where Hedrick lived.
“We got to Dickinson and pulled up to a house that was only two houses away from the house we had just left,” Miller said. “He kept looking at that house, and he said that’s where Clyde lived. And then he said to me, ‘One day you might find out what happened in that house. .’”
They drove a few hundred yards, took a left and then a right, Miller said, and then the man told him to stop.

“He said, ‘You see those woods over there… That’s where Clyde used to hide and watch Laura,’” Miller said. next to Dickinson Bayou, three blocks from our house, and Laura would go there and hang out near the cemetery.
“It was a quiet little place, and nobody knew Laura was doing that, so when he told me that, I was like, ‘This guy is real.’”
It was then that Miller took the man to law enforcement and prosecutors. He said he couldn’t go into detail about what else was said during the interview, as it was part of an active investigation.
But Miller asked the man why it had taken him so long to say something, and he told Miller that there were only three of them – he, Hedrick and another man, who had recently died – and that he feared they would kill him.

What law enforcement may use as evidence or testimony in a possible criminal case involving Laura’s death is unknown as the man’s memory is fading due to heavy drug use over the years and his health is deteriorating, Miller said.
Laura’s case looks colder than ever, according to Miller, who met with authorities last week and left “more frustrated than I have been in many years.”
Meanwhile, Hedrick, who has been convicted of other crimes over the years, including a 2014 manslaughter conviction in the 1984 death of Ellen Ray Beason, was released on mandatory supervision on October 4. 2021, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Hedrick is expected to remain under GPS surveillance until April 3, 2033, but is eligible to be released from that requirement this month, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has confirmed.

This is part of the program in which it is where clients can be screened for release every six months to a year.
As of Jan. 31, the Board of Pardons and Parole had not received an application on Hedrick’s behalf, the state Department of Criminal Justice said.
Miller worries about Hedrick’s potential release from parole. Hedrick is 68, but Miller said: “He’s healthier now than when he was arrested.”
“If he gets out, he’ll kill again,” Miller said.
Hedrick could not be reached for this story.
