Dolan Miller used to live in the remote Antelope Valley region of Nevada's Lander County. Of course, all of Lander County is remote as a 2002 population estimate pegged it at 5,691. With a land area of 5,621 square miles, the county population density is actually around 1 person per square mile.
During the years 1984 through 2005, Miller's business in the valley was growing alfalfa. He was helped on the farm by his brother, Daren Kay Miller, who was a welder and heavy equipment operator.
Daren began to get headaches, which progressively got more severe. In 2004, a year or so after Daren's headaches began, Dolan lost his 38-year-old brother to a rare brain cancer.
Dolan claims that at least five of his neighbors had been diagnosed with cancers during the last ten years. Recently, at least nine residents of Antelope Valley, population 200, have been formally diagnosed with various cancers or immune diseases.
This might have something to do with it.
