Gail Miller

Gail Miller

Gail Miller (died January 31, 1969) was a 20-year old Canadian nursing assistant, who was murdered and raped on January 31, 1969 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, by Larry Fisher. Her partially nude body was found that morning in an alley snow bank, with her throat slashed and stabbed 27 times.

David Milgaard had been wrongfully convicted of the crime and served 23 years in prison before he was exonerated by DNA evidence analyzed in the United Kingdom.

The Milgaard case in popular culture

To date, the David Milgaard case has been the subject of two movies: the 1992 documentary "The David Milgaard Story", directed by Vic Sarin, and the 1999 docudrama "Milgaard", directed by Stephen Williams and starring Ian Tracey.

The song "Wheat Kings" by The Tragically Hip (from their 1992 album "Fully Completely") contains references to the story of Milgaard.

Canadian artist David Collier described the Milgaard case in comics form in his 2000 book Surviving Saskatoon.
