Body found in Cumbernauld amid search for man who disappeared five months ago
Police Scotland said formal identification is pending and the death is being treated as unexplained after a 21-week search and hundreds of CCTV hours.
- Police Scotland discovered a man's body in a wooded area near Hillcrest Terrace in Cumbernauld on Sunday, April 5. A spokesperson said, "Around 4.25pm on Sunday, April 5, we received a report of the body of a man having been discovered."
- John Miller, 48, had been missing from Millcroft Road since November 2025, prompting a five-month search for the Rangers fan. The discovery marks the end of the investigation into his disappearance.
- During the 21-week investigation, police reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV and visited more than 1,800 houses as part of door-to-door enquiries. Authorities had urged the public to check outbuildings and sheds for Miller.
- Formal identification is pending, though the family of Miller has been informed. Police Scotland stated the death is being treated as unexplained with no suspicious circumstances, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
- Investigators had previously considered that Miller could have traveled to the east end of Glasgow, Falkirk, or the Lochearnhead area, where he was known to fish. This geographic scope shaped the five-month search effort.
