This man was the most feared in all of America, and what he did shocked everyone. In 1961, in Jackson, Mississippi, a man named Miles Away ran one of the most popular travel agencies in the region. Couples came from multiple states, just to book their honeymoon through him. He was known, respected, and highly recommended. Therefore, no one ever questioned his methods. However, he had won habit. Before every trip, he invited each couple to a private dinner at his home. He called it a tradition, a final evening before departure. The dinners were always well prepared, and they always ended the same way. With an envelope, inside were the travel documents. Several couples later reported feeling unusually tired by the end of the night. Most assumed it was the wine. At the time, it didn't raise concern. However, between 1961 and 1965, 11 newlywed couples disappeared. Across three states, all of them had booked through Miles. All of them had attended the dinner, and none of them had ever boarded a flight. In 1965, a detective named Sam Puller reviewed the cases. This time, the pattern was clear. Instead of reporting it, he went himself. With a colleague, they attended the dinner, avoided the wine, and waited. When Miles presented the envelope and suggested one final toast, Sam placed his badge on the table. Miles ran. He made it to the garden before collapsing. That same night, investigators searched the property. What they found beneath the house, accounted for every missing couple. Several officers requested leave, too, never returned. Miles away was convicted in 1966. During the trial, he gave only one explanation. It wasn't personal. I just liked honeymoon.
