R. Miles

R. Miles was a resident of Appalachia before the Great War.

Background
Miles was a police officer tasked with collecting reports at the Berkeley Springs police precinct. One of these reports was taken on the morning of July 15, 2072, from a man named C. Rutkowski. The man was in a relationship with Kathryn Montgomery, a US Army Sergeant who was accused of being a Chinese spy and referred to as "Shanghai Sally" in the news media.

Rutkowski told Officer Miles that his partner had appeared in the Charleston Herald and was referred to as "Shanghai Sally." He told the officer that the woman in the picture wasn't a Chinese spy, but his partner Kathryn, who had been missing for three weeks. Before the interview was concluded, two other people by the names of D. Whitby and J. Seamore came into the precinct claiming they knew Shanghai Sally's "real identity" as well.

Miles decided to head to a local establishment to speak with some soldiers who were on leave. The soldiers told Miles that Montgomery was in charge of the motor pool, and they recognized her from one of Rutkowski's photos. When the officer showed them the newspaper with the picture of Shanghai Sally, their demeanor changed and they excused themselves quickly.

Officer Miles took notes on all of these interviews and was instructed by the chief to pass them along to the FBI, who had claimed jurisdiction over the case. As instructed, Miles packed up the notes, records, and testimony and sent it to the FBI by way of military courier.

Appearances
R. Miles is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
