The requirement that a suspect be "Mirandized" isn't in the Constitution nor the amendments thereto.
IIRC, it has something to do with that pesky Fifth Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

Nowhere does it say anything about requiring the suspect to be read his rights. That is a creation of the Warren Court, it’s not in the Constitution.
