“The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder of Graber which directly connects Miller,” recent court documents stated (per the New York Post). While Miller (above) and Goodale have yet to be convicted, investigators believe that the defendants were prompted to kill Graber after she asked Miller to see her after class on November 2 of last year. After giving him a bad grade on a homework assignment, she wanted to discuss his overall academic performance, though Miller was allegedly disgruntled about the blow to his GPA and wasn’t willing to accept the consequences, as CBS News reports.

Authorities allege that Miller then recruited the help of Goodale after school. They followed Graber to a park where she was accustomed to taking afternoon walks and, as the New York Post reports, beat her to death with a baseball bat. Witness reports state that the two boys then hijacked Graber’s van and drove it to a remote location. They abandoned the vehicle and made their way back home with the help of another unsuspecting witness who provided them with a ride.
