Army Recruiter Who Murdered Student Recruit Had History of Inappropriate Relations

The Washington Post reports:

The man who shot a 17-year-old student and then killed himself in Montgomery County this week was a U.S. Army recruiter who worked at several local high schools and married a young former recruit last year, police said.

Police say Adam Arndt, 31, an Army staff sergeant, shot Michelle Miller, a Rockville High School senior, before killing himself Monday in his Germantown home, where both bodies were found later that day. Michelle was an honor student and a new recruit who was set to begin basic training this summer, according to her father…

Meanwhile, a portrait began to emerge of a married man who was romantically involved with one teenager and sending text messages and Facebook notes to others.

Full story here.

Looks like there were plenty of warning signs with this fellow. A shame no one caught him and no one held him accountable until it was too late.

A crime like this is always tough to read about. But it’s doubly demoralizing when perpetrated by someone in a position of responsibility and authority who should have been trustworthy but who abused that position of trust.

Our prayers go out to young Ms. Miller’s family today.
