Biography
Ezekiel was born on March 16, 1955 to struggling parents. He was the younger brother of Margaret Miller and they were inseparable as children. That is, until Zeke began getting into trouble with the law. He was first arrested on July 2, 1972 at the age of eighteen for assault. He was arrested again the following year on April 9, 1973, this time with Margaret. They were arrested for auto theft after Zeke had roped Margaret into the business. Their family had money trouble and hardships, so they committed grand larceny to secure finances. They were each sentenced to serve time in prison.

While Margaret was released early on good behavior, Zeke wasn't as lucky. He was in and out of prison ever since and always found himself in trouble. He eventually fathered a daughter named Natasha Kowalski who was born on March 14, 1988, though Zeke wasn't present in her life and left before she was even born.

On January 31st, 1988, Zeke was released from prison and came to Erie Harbor looking for Margaret. She had assumed the alias of Carol Collins as a means of starting over.

That afternoon, Erie Harbor School teacher Mr. Sipple was driving when a white pickup truck swerved into his lane and almost hit him. The cars barely missed one another but Sipple crashed into a concrete block. The collision rendered him unconscious and left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. He saw that the driver had a tattoo that said "Sinner" on his forearm. This placed Ezekiel Miller in Erie Harbor on the day of the abduction.

Zeke asked Carol to meet him at the arcade where Richie Fife and his friends used to hang out. He had a plan to kidnap Richie Fife, but he needed a driver and a car. She was against the idea, though he convinced her it was a rescue mission. A friend of the family hired him to get Richie away from his abusive father. When she refused, he threatened to hire an ex-con named Tommy to help. She agreed to drive in an attempt to protect Richie. They kidnapped Richie and put him in the back of the van, driving off without a trace. In the end, Richie and Zeke disappeared with the van. Because they were both hurt, Carol believed they died in the car crash she heard in the background of a call he made to her.
