Support is growing stronger for a Cape Breton couple whose son died under suspicious circumstances 24 years ago.

A recent rally generated more information that may back up Maureen and Gervase Miller’s theory, and now an American television network has contacted them about the case.

Their son, Clayton Miller, was found face down in a brook two days after police raided a party in the woods in New Waterford, N.S. in 1990. He was 17 at the time of his death.

An autopsy conducted shortly after his death concluded he died from dry drowning, but a second autopsy concluded three years later determined the cause of death to be hypothermia.

But his parents have always been suspicious of the autopsy results. They believe two men were involved in beating their son the night of the party, and that the police may have also played a role in his death.

“We were informed that they were taken in by the RCMP and they were questioned at the police station, but they were let go,” says Maureen.

“Shortly after that, police got him,” says Gervase. “This is what we believe and whatever they did to him was so bad that they decided to finish him off and try and cover it up.”

A recent review of Miller’s autopsy results revealed both of his elbows had been dislocated. He was also missing teeth and had a gash on his head.

His parents say the facts just don’t add up.

“Now that the justice minister and chief medical examiner is looking at it, everybody is working together,” says Gervase. “We hope something good happens, and if it does, there’s going to be charges laid.”

The Millers say people have been reaching out to them, including an American television network that wants to share their story, but they just want to see the case reopened.

“We received a phone call at 6:10 this morning of somebody who wants to talk, and we want to listen,” says Maureen.

“How can they explain all this here information? All we ever wanted was one honest investigation and we never received it because of what they shoved down our throats does not go with the evidence.”

The RCMP are not commenting on the case at this time.

The Millers say they will continue to gather evidence in the hopes of taking their case to court.
