Des Moines Register: Missing U of I professor is dead, kin think

Iowa City, Ia. – The family of a University of Iowa professor who disappeared earlier this week amid charges he accepted bribes of sexual favors from students for better grades believes he is dead.

Police for two days scoured a 185-acre wooded park for Arthur H. Miller, 66, who was believed to be suicidal and possibly to have a rifle. They found no clues. A park employee saw Miller, a political science professor, walk into the park with a blanket Tuesday morning, and his BMW was found at a park entrance with a cell phone, wallet and ammunition inside.
