**Updated Press Release**
3-30-2026
On March 14th our office, along with St. Clair Police and the Missouri State Highway Patrol Water Division, began an investigation into Mr. Robbie Miller of St. Clair, who was reported missing. Investigators worked diligently along with Mr. Miller’s family to find him, but also to preserve information and evidence in case anything suspicious arose. His UTV was discovered stuck in the mud along the Meramec River.
On March 26, 2026, the body of Mr. Miller was located in the Meramec River. The St. Clair Fire Protection District assisted in his recovery. Investigators continued their investigation along with the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office, which performed an autopsy, and preliminary information was given to investigators. St. Clair Police and Franklin County Investigators met with the family to inform them of all known information. It is the determination of all agencies involved that there is no foul play suspected, and Mr. Miller had drowned in the Meramec River.
I would like to thank the Missouri State Highway Water Patrol Division, St. Clair Police Department, St. Clair Fire Department, the numerous search and rescue teams that responded, our investigators, the family, and the public that assisted in the search. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family in this time of crisis.
