Detectives Seek Public’s Assistance in Finding Homicide Victim’s Body

Camden, NJ – Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in finding the body of a man who was murdered in Camden in June and has yet to be located, announced Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay and Camden County Police Chief Gabriel Rodriguez.

Harold “Hal” Miller Jr., 48, of Deptford was last observed on surveillance video entering a residence on the 2600 block of Baird Boulevard in Camden on the morning of June 12, 2025. Last month, detectives charged 41-year-old Everton Thomas of Camden with Miller’s murder. Additionally, the defendant’s wife, Sherrie Parker, 41, and his son, Deshawn Thomas, 23, were charged for their roles in helping to dispose of the victim’s body.

During the investigation, detectives learned that Sherrie Parker and Deshawn Thomas purchased a chainsaw, containers, trash bags, and other cleaning supplies after Miller was observing entering the residence, but never exiting it. Additionally, surveillance video showed Everton Thomas and Deshawn Thomas making several trips to the Tamarack Apartments dumpsters and loading containers and trash bags into a vehicle before leaving the city.

Everton Thomas is charged with first-degree Murder, second-degree Desecration of Human Remains, and fourth-degree Tampering with Physical Evidence. Sherrie Parker and Deshawn Thomas are both charged with second-degree Desecration of Human Remains and fourth-degree Tampering with Physical Evidence. All three defendants are being held at the Camden County Correctional Facility following detention hearings in Superior Court.

“We’re asking for the public’s help in locating the body of Mr. Miller so we can bring answers to his grieving family,” said Prosecutor MacAulay. “Any information, no matter how small, could be the key to bringing them peace and helping us deliver justice. The family has suffered enough — it’s time to help bring their loved one home.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Jake Siegfried of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Unit at (856) 225-5086 and Detective Andrew Mogck of the Camden County Police Department at (609) 519-8588 Tips can also be sent to CAMDEN.TIPS.

All individuals charged with crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

New Non-Invasive Procedure for Prostate Cancer Offered at MD Anderson Cooper

(CAMDEN, NJ) – MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper is among the first health systems in southern New Jersey to offer robotic high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) procedures for patients living with prostate cancer. This innovative treatment uses precisely targeted ultrasound waves to eliminate diseased prostate tissue. By focusing these waves on the affected area, HIFU generates localized heating (ablation) that targets cancer cells within the prostate gland while sparing healthy surrounding tissue.

“We are excited to offer HIFU as a treatment option to certain patients with prostate cancer,” said Jeffrey J. Tomaszewski, MD, head of the Division of Urology and director of Genitourinary Oncology at MD Anderson at Cooper. “A recent publication evaluating this approach makes us confident in HIFU as a treatment option, with outcomes that can preserve men’s urinary continence and erectile function.”

A large, prospective study involving more than 3,000 patients across 46 medical centers found that HIFU provides comparable cancer control to surgery while significantly reducing the risk of side effects such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Because robotic HIFU platforms allow physicians to precisely target only the affected portion of the prostate, many men can receive effective treatment while maintaining quality of life.

The outpatient procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically requires only one treatment session. This non-invasive approach involves no incision, no radiation, and no scarring. Most patients experience minimal disruption to daily activities and a faster return to normal life compared to traditional surgery.

What is HIFU?
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a leading-edge treatment that uses concentrated ultrasound energy to heat and destroy targeted tissue inside the body without surgery. For prostate cancer, HIFU enables doctors to treat only the affected portion of the prostate while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This approach can reduce the risk of common side effects, such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, while providing effective cancer control.
