I’ll kill you all, and I know who you are and where you live. “”

Miller, 36, told the distributors of the 911 that he had followed the man on the interstate 90 and had rolled his window to better hear what he said and take note of his license plate number.

“I’m a little shaken, to be completely honest,” Miller told a distributor in Lakewood, the neighboring suburbs where Miller came out of the highway. “I have a weapon on me. I am happy not to have used it. ”

During a section of Miller’s 9111 call, we can hear the horn of a vehicle – a detail that the distributor noted to police officials for his report.
