He Set HER Up. She Did 9 Years For His Crime, When She Got Out She K!lled Him and His Wife | HO!!!!

In a quiet Maryland suburb, where children ride bikes until dusk and neighbors know each other’s names, a double homicide shattered the peace and exposed a story of betrayal, revenge, and the dark consequences of love gone wrong. The victims, Dave Miles and his wife Nikki Stevens Miles, were found murdered in their basement, bound, gagged, and shot multiple times. But behind the headlines lay a tale years in the making—one that began with a young woman’s love and ended with cold-blooded vengeance.

The Good Girl From Baltimore

Janet Miles, 35, was not born to be a criminal. Raised by her grandmother Miss Ruby in East Baltimore, Janet was known for her kindness, her hard work, and her dreams of becoming a nurse. Her mother died from an overdose when Janet was eight, but Janet grew up determined to make something of herself. She worked part-time jobs, helped pay the bills, and never missed church on Sundays.

At 17, Janet met Dave Miles at a house party. Dave was older, charming, and ambitious—he talked about building a future and escaping the struggles of their neighborhood. Janet fell hard, believing she’d found her soulmate. For five years, Janet and Dave were inseparable, joined by Dave’s best friend Nikki Stevens. The trio became a tight-knit unit, spending weekends at movies, parties, and long drives around the city.

But beneath the surface, things weren’t as perfect as they seemed. Dave’s ambitions outpaced his earnings, and soon he began pressuring Janet to help him with petty scams—returning stolen goods for store credit, running minor credit card frauds, and eventually transporting illicit packages for a local criminal, “Big Mike.” Janet, desperate to please Dave and build their shared dream, crossed lines she never imagined.

Betrayed and Imprisoned

By 22, Janet was deeply involved in Dave’s schemes. She was the face of their operations—the sweet, innocent girl who could walk into any store and walk out with cash. But when Dave’s ambitions grew, so did the risks. He convinced Janet to do a “run” for Big Mike, transporting a gym bag she never looked inside from Baltimore to D.C. Dave promised her safety, swore he’d be right behind her, and assured her it was just transportation.

But Janet was caught in a police sting. The gym bag contained drugs, and the evidence—text messages, surveillance footage, and her own confession—was overwhelming. Dave, who promised to protect her, watched from a distance as Janet was arrested. He never intervened. Three weeks later, Janet learned she was pregnant. Six weeks after that, she was sentenced to nine years in prison for possession with intent to distribute.

Dave never visited, never called, never wrote. But Nikki did—once. Her letter revealed that she and Dave had married, moved to Maryland, and started a new life together. Janet, left alone in her cell, realized that the people she loved most had used her and moved on.

Nine Years of Planning

Prison changed Janet. She gave birth to her daughter Mina in shackles, holding her for just 24 hours before the baby was taken away to be raised by Miss Ruby. Janet spent her sentence learning hard lessons—about survival, about patience, and about revenge. She studied law books, crime novels, and biographies of criminals. She learned how to hide money, create alibis, and pull strings from the shadows.

Janet emerged from prison at 31, with $2,847 in savings and a heart hardened by betrayal. She returned to Baltimore, reuniting with her aging grandmother and meeting her daughter—a polite, cautious nine-year-old who barely knew her. Janet struggled to rebuild her life, but the anger simmered beneath the surface.

Through social media, Janet tracked down Dave and Nikki in Glen Burnie. She discovered they had used the $15,000 they’d stolen from their old scams—money that was supposed to fund Janet and Dave’s future—to start a trucking company and buy a house. Their Facebook pages were filled with pictures of their new life, their happiness, their wealth. Janet watched, studied, and planned.

The Setup

But Janet didn’t want to kill Dave and Nikki herself. She wanted justice, not blood on her hands. Instead, she remembered Marcus Webb, a dangerous figure from Dave’s criminal past—a man Dave owed $15,000, a debt he’d never repaid. Janet found Marcus’s brother Tony at a pool hall in Baltimore and passed along everything Marcus would need: Dave’s address, work schedule, car details, and the fact that Nikki was complicit in the old scams.

Janet made sure her involvement couldn’t be traced. She established alibis, paid everything in cash, and left no digital trail. Then she waited.

The Murders

On a quiet Tuesday night, a black SUV circled Dave and Nikki’s suburban home. Three men, dressed in dark clothes, conducted a professional, calculated attack. Neighbors later recalled seeing the SUV parked for hours, but no one suspected anything until Mrs. Henderson, a neighbor, found the couple dead in their basement.

Detectives Sarah Martinez and James Wilson quickly realized the murders were not random. The crime scene showed signs of torture, suggesting the killers were after something—money, revenge, or both. Dave’s criminal record pointed to many possible enemies, but the strongest lead was Marcus Webb.

The Investigation

Police quickly uncovered Dave’s criminal history, his debts, and his connection to Marcus Webb. Surveillance footage tied the black SUV to Marcus, who was arrested days later. During interrogation, Marcus admitted to collecting his debt but denied the murders. “I got what I came for,” he said, “what happened after is between Dave and whoever else had problems with him.”

But the evidence—rental records, witness identification, and motive—was enough for a conviction. Marcus Webb was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The investigation also uncovered Janet’s name in Dave’s old arrest records. Detectives visited Janet, who maintained a calm demeanor and provided a solid alibi: a quiet night at home with her daughter and grandmother. “I haven’t seen Dave in 15 years,” Janet told detectives. “I paid for my mistakes. I’m just trying to build a new life.”

No evidence linked Janet directly to the murders. Her alibi held, and she was never charged.

A Community in Shock

The double homicide sent shockwaves through Glen Burnie. Neighbors struggled to reconcile the image of Dave and Nikki—the successful, friendly couple—with the violent end they met. Many were unaware of the past that followed them from Baltimore, the debts and betrayals that eventually caught up.

Janet, meanwhile, quietly rebuilt her life. She found work, cared for Mina, and kept her distance from the past. She never spoke of Dave or Nikki again. For her, justice had been served—not by the courts, but by the choices she made after nine years of waiting.

The Thin Line Between Victim and Perpetrator

Was Janet Miles a victim who finally got justice, or a killer who got away with murder? The answer depends on who you ask. To some, Janet was a woman betrayed—used by the man she loved, abandoned, and left to pay for his crimes. To others, she was a cold, calculating mastermind, orchestrating revenge from the shadows.

Detective Martinez summed up the case: “Sometimes the most dangerous person isn’t the one who threatens you—it’s the one who waits, watches, and strikes when you least expect it.”

Aftermath: Justice or Revenge?

The Miles case remains open in the minds of many. Marcus Webb sits in prison, convicted of murder, but some investigators believe the real architect of the crime was never charged. Janet sleeps peacefully at night, knowing the people who destroyed her life got exactly what they deserved.

As Glen Burnie slowly returns to normal, the story of Janet Miles lingers—a cautionary tale about betrayal, patience, and the lengths to which a person will go when the system fails them.
