Prominent Connecticut TV News Anchor Leaving Station

CONNECTICUT — Shannon Miller, the popular morning news anchor for NBC Connecticut, is going home.

Miller, who joined the Hartford-based station nearly eight years ago in June 2017, grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas, and she recently landed a job with KXAS-TV in Dallas, The Laurel reported.

The news comes less than two months after NBC Connecticut unveiled a new morning lineup that teamed Miller with new anchor, Eddie Randle, who recently joined the station from KSN in Wichita, Kansas.

Miller has worked in the Midwest before, having held anchor and reporter positions at KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas; KOLR10/KOZL in Springfield, Missouri; and KNWA-TV in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

She is also fluent in Spanish, which could be a boon in her new position in Texas.

At NBC Connecticut, Miller is perhaps best known for her extensive coverage of the Jennifer Dulos case, the New Canaan mother-of-five who vanished in May 2019 and is presumed to have been murdered by her estranged husband, the late Fotis Dulos.

During her coverage of the case and trial of Fotis Dulos' ex-girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, Miller appeared several times on NBC's DATELINE. Troconis was found guilty of assisting Fotis Dulos in the murder plot, and was sentenced to more than 14 years in prison.

Miller also covered the murder of Ellington resident Connie Debate, and was the first to interview Sandy Hook mom Scarlett Lewis about the Alex Jones defamation verdict. She also covered the kidnapping and murder of realtor Beverly Carter from her time in Little Rock, according to her NBC Connecticut bio.

A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Miller graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication.
