RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU) — The man accused of killing Hannah Miller of Rhinelander then leaving her body along a rural Oneida County road will go to trial next summer.
Christopher Terrell Anderson entered a not guilty plea to one count of first-degree intentional homicide on Monday. Judge Michael Bloom then scheduled a five-day jury trial to run from August 15th-19th, 2022.
The 30-year-old is accused of plotting to kill Miller, his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, for several weeks. That included enlisting the help of another man, Seth Wakefield, who’s facing charges of being a party to the crime. Investigators say Wakefield conducted surveillance of Miller’s apartment for Anderson, letting him know when she would be home.
Investigators add that they believe Anderson had plans to kill Miller’s parents as well so he could take their child.
After Miller’s body was found along a rural road in late June Anderson went into hiding. Officers found vehicles associated with him in St. Paul, Minnesota. But it wasn’t until late August that an anonymous tip led authorities to Carol Stream, Illinois where he was arrested without incident.
After several weeks he was extradited to Wisconsin to begin court proceedings.

Anderson, known to some as DJ Bravo, will return to court for a motion hearing on March 18th. He had previously told the court that he was looking for a new attorney to replace Scott Anderson, his court-appointed defender. But as of Monday Anderson was still listed in court records as his attorney.
An arraignment for Wakefield will be held next Monday.
