The province’s Serious Incident Response Team is looking into the death of New Waterford teenager Clayton Miller in 1990.
Miller’s parents have maintained for years that local police have withheld evidence in the case, and last year the province’s justice minister launched a review of Miller’s death.
Now the independent police watchdog says it’s looking into a claim that a current member of the Cape Breton Regional Police Service may have “undisclosed information” in the case.
A release from SIRT says it received the information in October, but didn’t make a public announcement to protect the integrity of the investigation.
It says if the information is accurate, it could be considered evidence of an obstruction of justice.
