Triple homicide investigators of Six Nations members plead for public assistance

Police have revealed one of three Six Nations members found dead in Middlesex County was seven months pregnant.

The OPP and Six Nations Police held a press conference with relatives of the victims on Thursday morning in Six Nations of the Grand River to update the public and ask for any help they can provide in moving the investigation along

Detective Inspector Pete Liptrott, major case manager with the OPP criminal investigation branch, Acting Deputy Chief Darren Montour of the Six Nations Police Service and Sheri-Lyn HILL Pearche from Six Nations Band Council provided additional details of the investigation and more information on the victims.

On Sunday, Nov. 4, shortly before 10 a.m., officers from the Middlesex County OPP Detachment and the Oneida of the Thames Police Service responded to a call near Bodkin Road and Jones Drive in the Municipality of Middlesex Centre. Police were alerted to the presence of a grey pickup truck in a field on private property off Bodkin Road.

Three residents of the Six Nations of the Grand River were found deceased at that location with the pick-up truck. They were identified as 33-year-old Alan Grant Porter, 32-year-old Michael Shane Jamieson and 37-year-old Melissa Trudy Miller. Police revealed Miller was seven months pregnant when she died. The pickup truck had been stolen and recovered with the victims’ bodies. Miller

The bodies were found near where Douglas Hill, 48, of Six Nations was found deceased more than a year ago in Oneida Nation of the Thames.

A teenage female had been charged with second-degree murder.
