With the second murder behind them, Miller and Worrell continued to pick up girls every night. Their favourite spots were the Adelaide Railway Station, Rundle Mall, hotels in the city, and the Mediterranean and Buckingham Arms hotels. Miller never played any part in the soliciting of the girls. He claimed that he was just 'the chauffeur and the mug'.

| Juliet Mykyta |
On January 21, 1977 they met 16-year old Juliet Mykyta at the Ambassador's Hotel in King William Street. She had just rung her parents to tell them that she was going to be a little late getting home and that they were not to worry. Juliet was a student at Marsden High School and had taken a job in the holidays selling jewellery from a kerbside stall in the city. She was sitting on the steps of the hotel waiting for a bus at 9pm when Worrell offered her a lift.
Miller drove to one of their usual spots along the secluded Port Wakefield Road and Worrell forced the girl into the back seat while Miller sat in the front, waiting to be told to leave. While he was sitting there, Worrell started to tie the girl up. She offered resistance but Worrell was too strong. Miller said he didn't find anything unusual about Worrell tying the girl up. He had done it to lots of them before but usually with willing partners. It turned him on. It was his kink.
Miller got out of the car and walked about 50 metres away. He heard voices and turned to see the girl out of the car and falling forward to the ground as if she had been kicked in the stomach. Worrell rolled her over with his foot, knelt on her stomach and strangled her with a length of rope.
Miller claimed he grabbed Worrell's arm and tried to drag him off the girl but Worrell pushed him away and threatened to kill him if he interfered. Miller shook his head and walked away. When he came back, the body was already in the back of the car. Worrell was in a black mood and Miller did as he demanded. He drove the car to Truro but avoided going near the other bodies and went to a deserted farmhouse on a completely different track away from Swamp Road. From there they carried the fully clothed body into the thick trees and covered it with branches and leaves. They then drove back to Adelaide.
