Her body had been re-dressed in a turquoise body suit, Imbordino said. Her bra was dropped on the path and the Walkman never found. More clothes and the rest of the headphones were discarded in a nearby trash bin.
Some clothing and part of her Walkman headphones were discovered under a bush. But her other wounds were different: A cross and initials had been carved into her chest. She had also been stabbed in the back, a deep wound that pierced her lung and aorta. Ten months later, Melanie Bernas's body was found floating in the same canal, close to where Brosso's head was recovered. It was unclear, he added, when her head was placed in the canal. It is likely, Imbordino said, that it flowed downstream with the water, passing under the I-17 before getting caught in a grate by the Metrocenter mall. Her head was found in the canal 11 days later.
3, 2022, in the trial of accused murderer Bryan Patrick Miller, the so-called "Canal Killer." Judge Suzanne Cohen listens to opening statements in Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix on Oct. Officers searching for her the next morning came across a trail of blood leading off the bike path, strewn with purple scraps of Brosso's slashed clothing. "Murdered doesn't really describe what happened to her," Imbordino said in his opening statement. She was about to turn 22, but would never make it home. 8, 1992, Angela Brosso left her apartment near Interstate 17 and Cactus Road for a bike ride. And to find the answers, the defense will go back more than 30 years, to his childhood. Miller had the same questions, Dees said. “Why did this happen? How did this happen?” He can't remember what happened the nights Brosso and Bernas died, said his attorney Denise Dees.īut Miller's family and friends and expert witnesses are expected to testify that the man sitting in court Monday "is not the Bryan who committed these horrible offenses."Įveryone had questions after the murders, Dees said. He was charged in 2015, but his attorneys did not invoke the insanity defense for six years, until July 2021. Miller says he is not guilty due to insanity.
