Police seized nearly 400 pieces of evidence from accused "canal killer" Bryan Patrick Miller's home, according to documents obtained by 12 News and the Arizona Republic.
A search warrant recently unsealed lists everything from innocuous items like comic books and DVDs to items that could seem more suspicious, like numerous hair clips and jewelry.
PREVIOUSLY: Arrest made in notorious Phoenix Canal Murders
Miller is accused of murdering two women and dumping their bodies in the Arizona Canal just south of Cactus Road.
Angela Brasso, 22, was found decapitated, her torso floating in the canal in November, 1992. Her head was found two miles away in the same canal 11 days later.
The body of Melanie Bernas, 17, was also found floating in the Arizona Canal a year later. Police believe Bernas had been sexually assaulted.
Both women were reportedly riding their bicycles when they went missing.
Heavily redacted court paperwork shows police obtained Miller's DNA 22 years later while conducting surveillance. The affidavit for a search warrant does not specify how investigators obtained that DNA, only that it was done "surreptitiously."
That DNA was found to be a match to DNA found on both victims.
Phoenix police raided Miller's house in January, 2015, spending days pulling out a multitude of items. Investigators seized clothing, numerous computers, hard drives, and flash drives.
They also searched his car, a black-and-white Ford Crown Victoria, and his personal locker at the Amazon fulfillment warehouse on Buckeye Road.
In petitioning for the warrant, detectives told the judge they were looking for any and all knives or knife holsters Miller may have, work boots and shoes and cellphones.
Investigators were seen removing at least one rusted bicycle, but the bike does not appear in the unredacted portion of the search warrant.
12 News and the Arizona Republic petitioned the Arizona Supreme Court to release the sealed search warrant, which ultimately led the court to do so, though the judge in the case ordered the redactions to preserve evidence for any future charges against Miller.
Court documents show Miller has denied any involvement in the murders, but did not have an explanation for how his DNA wound up on the victims.
Miller's past run-ins with the law include two stabbing charges. The first, in 1989, happened near the Paradise Valley Mall.
Miller's juvenile court records show Miller was 16 when he admitted to stabbing a woman in the back. Those records show Miller said stabbing the woman sent shivers up his spine.
He was accused of stabbing another woman in Everett, Wash., a suburb north of Seattle, in 2002. He was acquitted of that charge and returned to Arizona with his wife and daughter.
Marriage records show Miller's wife filed for divorce in 2006. His teenage daughter lived with him at the same home police raided in January.
