CHARLES CITY – Today, agents with the Division of Criminal Investigation and the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office charged 33 year old Casey Fredericksen in the 2005 death of five-year-old Evelyn Miller. Frederiksen is charged with Murder in the First Degree and Sexual Abuse in the First Degree. Both charges are Class “A” felonies.
On July 1, 2005, Noel Miller, Evelyn’s mother, reported to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office that her daughter was missing. Noel indicated she had returned to the Quarry Road Apartments at approximately 6:19 a.m. after working a night shift, and noticed Evelyn was not in the apartment. Noel’s boyfriend, Casey Frederiksen, had been left home to care for Evelyn and the couple’s two other children. At the time, Frederiksen told law enforcement he last saw Evelyn at approximately 2:00 a.m.
With the help of many volunteers, law enforcement conducted an extensive search for Evelyn until Wednesday, July 6, 2005. On that day at approximately 7:40 p.m., two kayakers discovered Evelyn’s body in the Cedar River between Charles City and Floyd. Details surrounding the condition of Evelyn’s body were never disclosed to the victim’s family or the public.
Over the course of several years, investigators continued to receive information and evidence suggesting Frederiksen was involved in the murder of Evelyn Miller. According to the complaints and the affidavit filed in Floyd County District Court, Frederiksen changed his story regarding what he had done during the day that Evelyn had disappeared, disclosed information about the condition of Evelyn’s body that was not publicly known, and made statements implicating himself to fellow inmates.
Frederiksen is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary (USP) in Marion, Illinois, serving up to 14 years on federal child pornography and 10 years on drug charges. His current projected release date is November 5, 2026. He will remain at USP Marion until he is transported to face trial in Floyd County.
Watch entire press conference:
Let’s hold off and get this guy convicted first. And you can be sure there will be appeals, et cetera.
One hopes he is not allowed back into society, for his own safety.
Those of you that believe this comment, “He should only have the worse done to him,” have lowered yourselves to Frederiksen’s level.
To put him in a prison for life where society allows sex, drugs, gangs, sexual assault ect. to go on, makes the rest of no better.
Putting him to death would be appropriate.
Is there an attorney or law enforcement person who can answer a question for me? Can they put this guy in the “general population” in prison, or do they need to honor his wishes if he chooses solitary confinement? I mean, why in the world would we want to PROTECT this guy?!?
I hope the rest of this guys life in prison is a living hell. Most of the inmates will make it happen.
That rotten, no good bastard! He should get only the worse done to him!
Evelyn’s mother should also be charged! She knew what he was. How could she dare to leave her child with him and then have 2 children with him?? She is just as sick and evil as he is!
This guy should suffer the worst possible punishment posible for doing this to that little girl.
