A Calhoun Grand Jury has indicted Kirk Allen Miller, 33, of Salem for the murders of Mike and Julie Flanagan last Easter weekend. He is charged with two counts of murder. State Police arrested Miller (pictured left) in July, 2009, saying he quickly admitted to the crime when confronted. WV State Police, according to Metro News, say Miller "had been delivering marijuana for one of the victims, 52-year old Michael Flanagan, and claimed he was mad he had not been paid." Sources close to the investigation, indicated Miller had been on a list of suspects. Miller's arrest in July came three months after the murders, following several suspects being interviewed, and one man being extradited from Mississippi. John Franklin Cash of Burning Springs, formerly of Grantsville, was charged with seven charges of delivering a controlled substance, and was extradited to WV from Laurel, Mississippi. Officer Fred Hammack claimed Cash made statements that suggested he could have been involved in the murders, according to a criminal complaint. Later, Calhoun Prosecutor Shelly DeMarino said Cash was "No longer a suspect in the murder investigation." Miller was a well tender in the remote backwoods and was well-known to the Flanagans and the community. Sources close to the situation saying it was not uncommon for him to have lunch with the couple.
