On September 26, 2008, the Saskatchewan Minister of Justice, [[Don Morgan]], released the findings of the Milgaard inquiry. Among its recommendations were a call for the federal government to create an independent body to review allegations of wrongful conviction. The report noted that if such a body had existed, Milgaard might have been released from jail years earlier than he actually was. Linda Fisher, ex-wife of Larry Fisher, visited the Saskatoon police department in 1980. She told the police that she believed her former husband had likely killed Miller. The Saskatoon police department did not follow up on her statement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/local/story.html?id=385773c6-ce93-4a4e-b9a5-c3b9415773c0 |title=Police missed opportunity to reopen case |work=The StarPhoenix |date=September 27, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315232539/http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/local/story.html?id=385773c6-ce93-4a4e-b9a5-c3b9415773c0 |archive-date=March 15, 2014 }}</ref> The inquiry report released by MacCallum states that, "while MacCallum noted that Milgaard's family members mounted a formidable public awareness campaign, their efforts also created tension and resentment within the police and the Crown's office."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/joyce-milgaard-delighted-by-report-recommendations-1.762328 |access-date=2015-10-14 |date=September 26, 2008 |work=CBC News |title=Joyce Milgaard 'delighted' by report recommendations}}</ref>
