NEARLY a year after burned remains were found in a car on Grand Bahama, police have finally identified the victim as missing Elkino Miller.

Foul play is suspected and the matter is under investigation, Assistant Superintendent of Police Stephen Rolle told The Tribune.

“No suspects are in custody at this time,” he said. “As soon as more information becomes available, media houses will be updated.”

Miller, 49, was last seen on September 3, 2024, prompting family members to report him missing.

Days after a missing person alert was issued for Miller, police discovered charred remains inside a burnt-out vehicle hidden in bushes off the Grand Bahama Highway in East Grand Bahama on September 12, 2024.

However, police said the long delay in confirming Miller’s identity was due to waiting on DNA test results.
