(May 15, 2008)--The first convicted killer to be committed under the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Program was back in custody Thursday.
Wesley Wayne Miller, 45, is accused of secretly starting a relationship with a female jailer.
Miller was arrested Tuesday at the Cold Springs Jail, where he was required to live under terms of his civil commitment order.
Miller is charged with violating a civil commitment requirement, a third-degree felony.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the 21-year-old jailer has been suspended pending an internal affairs investigation.
Miller is now in the Tarrant County Jail.
He was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 1982 for stabbing Retha Stratton, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader.
Miller also was a suspect in a string of rapes.
Two years later, he pleaded guilty to burglary with intent to commit rape in Saginaw and was sentenced to 20 years.
Over the past two decades, Miller was released from prison on mandatory supervision several times under a state law in effect when he was convicted.
