Authorities identify body found in Adams County home, report second body also discovered there

STRONGS PRAIRIE — A body found in a home in the Adams County town of Strongs Prairie was identified Thursday as Sharon K. Miller, also known to friends as Sharon Miller-Robinson, according to a Sunday afternoon press release from the Adams County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office also reported Sunday morning that a second body, identified as Miller's son, Jami L. Lumby, was discovered at the home.

The cause of death has not yet been determined by autopsy, but both individuals are under investigation for suspicious causes of death, the statement said.

According to a news release issued Friday by the Adams County Sheriff's Office, a caller at 8:19 a.m. Thursday reported being unable to contact Miller, 62, for three days. The caller went to Miller's home in Strongs Prairie and could not find Miller or his 37-year-old son. Officers checked Miller's property and did not find her or Lumby, according to the release. Officers found an area where the ground had been disturbed and it appeared someone had buried something. Officers obtained a search warrant and found the body of an adult, now identified as Miller, on the property.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office said it “remains committed to this investigation and has devoted all available resources to this investigation.”

Adams County Sheriff’s Office personnel and special agents from the Wisconsin Department of Justice – Criminal Investigation Division continue to collect and analyze evidence and conduct interviews. DOJ Criminal Response Specialists are assisting family members with this investigation.

Agencies are asking for the public's help if anyone has had recent contact with Miller or Lumby to contact the Adams County Sheriff's Office at 608-339-3304.
