An attorney for the Kalispell man who admitted murdering his former girlfriend and her daughter on Christmas day in 2010 is questioning law enforcement’s response to the events leading up to the killings, asserting that better communication is needed between agencies.
Noel Larrivee, a lawyer with the state public defender office, said that while Tyler Michael Miller is responsible for the deaths of Jaimi Hurlbert, 35, and Alyssa Burkett, 15, there were a number of “missed opportunities” for law enforcement to derail the shootings.
