Heather Miller is the Prosecuting Attorney for Camden County. Originally from Alaska, Heather spent her youth guiding in the mountains and on the Gulf of Alaska, which led to her first career as a boat captain and merchant mariner. Heather and her husband worked the West Coast, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico before deciding to attend law school at the University of Alabama. After graduation, they moved back to her husband’s home state of Missouri and settled down in Camdenton with their two children.
