Sources say that on Monday December 12th she had just left her local church, where tragedy struck earlier this month when church member Leora Chilson was murdered by her own son. Mills may have been helping set up the funeral for Leora Chilson. Mills’ vehicle and cell phone were found Friday near the Carpenter Falls Unique Area entrance off Route 41A in Niles, an area with 38 acres of tough steep terrain and waterfalls, according to news reports. An early search of the area was focused in the water from the falls, yeilding negative results. The search was called off as sunlight and temperatures dropped on Saturday.
