Milli was born and brought up in Maine, and became a teacher in the Londonderry (NH) School District. She became interested in writing about crime after doing research for the NH State Archives. The experience resulted in Hard Time in Concord, published in 2005. Several years later, she began volunteering with the NH Cold Case Unit which led to her being hired as their paralegal/data analyst in 2022.
Knudsen has published seven historical volumes with Heritage Books. Her newest book, Murder and Mayhem, is drawn from prison, court and newspaper archives. It tells the stories behind the headlines and gives a glimpse into true crime in New England leading up to World War I, documenting interesting cases of people who served time in the New Hampshire State Prison: what they did, how they were apprehended, and the people who put them there.
