@truecrime.storiess: Ruth Miller, a 40-year-old Amish mother from Millersburg, Ohio, has been charged with aggravated murder after authorities say a spiritual ritual led to the death of her 4-year-old son. The case has deeply shaken the Amish community and drawn national attention for its troubling mix of faith and tragedy. Investigators say that in late August 2025, Miller and her husband, Marcus Miller, took their four children to Atwood Lake in Tuscarawas County. According to police reports, the couple believed they were receiving messages from God and were participating in what they called “tests of faith.” During the trip, the situation turned fatal. Deputies say Miller later told them she believed she was acting under divine instruction. Her husband, Marcus, was also found dead near the lake the following morning. A Tuscarawas County grand jury has indicted Miller on multiple counts, including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and child endangerment. Prosecutors describe the incident as one of the most disturbing cases in the county’s recent history. Miller is currently being held without bond. Her defense attorneys have requested a psychological evaluation, citing concerns about her mental state and religious delusions. The Amish community in Holmes County — known for its peace, simplicity, and strong family values — has been left reeling. Neighbors say Miller was a quiet, devoted mother, and many are struggling to reconcile her faith with the tragic events that unfolded. Miller’s trial is expected to begin later this year. #truecrime #truecrimetok #ruthmiller #horror #murder
