RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The Rhinelander man who knew for weeks about the plot to kill Hannah Miller last year was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison for his role in her murder.
Seth Wakefield, 26, cased the victim’s house and provided information on Miller’s comings-and-goings to Christopher Anderson.
Anderson pled guilty to the murder last month, and is currently serving life without the possibility of parole.
Wakefield pleaded no contest to an amended charge of second-degree reckless homicide, according to court documents.
Wakefield also received 6 1/2 years of extended supervision.
Wakefield, a friend of Anderson’s, was aware for weeks that Anderson planned to kill Miller and her parents, and then abduct the child he shared with Miller.
Hannah Miller was killed along Highway 8 in Oneida County in 2021.
