Robert and Susan Miller married on 31 Aug 1996 in Multnomah Co., Oregon. Both were executives for the Intel Corporation, the computer chip manufacturer based in Intel's Jones Farm in Hillsboro, Oregon. Rob Haubner was director of Intel's worldwide customer support. She worked for 15 years at Intel Corp as a Senior Trade Show Manager.
After spending their honeymoon in Africa and had returned with friends from Intel (Susan Studd, 46, a manager in Intel's human resources department, and Robert McLaurin, 44, assistant director of Intel's mobile modules network operations.) This was Rob and Susan's third trip and they wanted to view the Gorillas at the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.
They were attacked by soldiers who were ethnic Hutu rebels, according to the State Department and survivors. (In 1994, thousands of Hutu rebels and civilians fled neighboring Rwanda after the killings of more than 500,000 rival Tutsi and moderate Hutu.)
Some of the Hutu rebels had regrouped in the bush and carried out attacks even in 1999, opposing American and British support for the Ugandan military and others seen as sympathizing with the Tutsi.
About 150 Hutu's attacked their camp. Susan Studd and Robert McLaurin upon hearing the gunfire, escaped out the back of their tent and hid in the bushes.
The abductors marched the Haubner's and camp mates up the mountain for hours, toward the Congo. They were murdered on the trail by machetes, at different locations. It is said Susan was exhausted by 3 hours of climbing and allowed to turn back as the group continued on. She was killed first, after being raped.
