Tenure Summary
GPS records show Wendy Miller held behavioral-health counselor roles at Telfair State Prison in 2019 and 2020, followed by counselor roles without a listed facility in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, she worked at McRae Women’s Facility as a Behavioral Hlth Counselor 3 and had a one-day Behavioral Hlth Counselor Spv entry on Nov. 22, 2023. Her 2024–2025 counselor supervisor roles list no facility. On Jan. 16, 2026, GPS records place her as Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment at McRae Women’s Facility; a one-day Deputy Warden title for McRae also appears on Aug. 27, 2026. GPS records attribute four deaths to her facility-deputy tenure, all at McRae Women’s Facility. The record contains no lawsuits naming Miller as a defendant and no news mentions tied to her.What happened on their watch
Telfair State Prison, 2019–2020 (staff-tier behavioral health counselor). Before the deaths attributed to her deputy-warden tenure, Miller held non-leadership roles at Telfair. During that period, GPS-linked event records document multiple violent deaths at the facility, including Cedric La'Troy Johnson Sr. (strangulation, March 13, 2020), Aldrich Norval Cain (multiple stab wounds, April 23, 2020), Marcus Derrelle Pearson Jr. (multiple stab wounds, May 29, 2020), and Luis Garcia Palacio (blunt-impact head injuries, July 28, 2020). These deaths are not included in the four deaths GPS attributes to Miller, because they do not attach to a facility-leadership post held by her.
McRae Women’s Facility, 2026 (Deputy Warden of Care and Treatment, facility-deputy tier). GPS records attribute four deaths during this tenure. Beverly Suzannne Sipple, 59, died March 16, 2026; Kristal Lyn Layne, 55, died May 10, 2026; Shannon Michelle Rush, 43, died May 16, 2026; and Chasity King, 26, died May 18, 2026. All four records carry cause_category code 6; the structured data provides no plain-language cause of death. The entries for Rush and King carry auto-promotion notes from user reports GPS-DEATH-2026-D61CA and GPS-DEATH-2026-882AA, respectively; the other two entries have no notes. The provided record contains no intel reports or intel events tied to McRae Women’s Facility, and no lawsuits naming Miller. The later one-day Deputy Warden title on Aug. 27, 2026 carries no additional death attributions in the data.
