One police official even “warned” her “not to go to the media” or else they would out her late daughter.
What happened to Mikayla Miller?
As a community mourns the loss of such a young life and struggles with the weeks-long silence from officials, Middlesex district attorney Marian Ryan addressed the high schooler’s death in a news briefing based on the preliminary investigation.
Describing the teen as a “cherished daughter, a gifted student, a talented athlete, and a loyal friend”, Ryan said Miller’s death was an “unspeakable tragedy” as she rebuffed claims of inaction and wrongdoing.
“From the beginning of this investigation, our investigators have been fully committed to determining exactly how Mikayla’s precious and promising life ended,” she said.
