New Waterford teen died in 1990 after a drinking party; parents think police were involved
The province's medical examiner will report his findings today after a re-examination of the death of 17-year-old Clayton Miller of New Waterford.
The parents of a New Waterford boy who died after a police raid on an outdoor drinking party are hoping for vindication.
Gervais and Maureen Miller will meet today with the province's medical examiner, Matt Bowes.
The Millers have always believed police had something to do with the death of their 17-year-old son, Clayton, in May of 1990.
Clayton's body was found two days after the raid in an area that had been already searched.
Last fall, a retired nurse reported to Justice Minister Lena Diab that she had turned up a number of irregularities in two autopsies performed on Clayton's remains.
Diab asked Bowes to take another look at the case.
Also at the meeting will be Ron MacDonald, the head of the Serious Incident Response Team, which oversees police conduct.
SIRT has been looking into an allegation that a current Cape Breton Regional Police officer has been withholding information about the Miller Case.
SIRT is not empowered to investigate historic police conduct, so has no authority to examine the conduct of officers involved in the Miller case 25 years ago.
The Millers have placed great confidence in Bowes and SIRT, handing over boxes of information they have collected over the years related to their son's death.
The Millers have the support of many people who also believe the full truth has not been revealed about Clayton's death.
As they have done in the past, those supporters will hold a demonstration this morning outside the meeting.
Bowes and MacDonald will release their findings to the public at a news conference at 11 a.m.
