Bozeman, MT: Man wants evidence of possible killing tossed out

BOZEMAN — A 38-year-old Bozeman man accused of shooting his former girlfriend and burning her body in a barrel is asking a judge to toss out evidence and some of his statements to investigators on the day of his arrest.

Jay. J. Myran filed the motion in Gallatin County District Court, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported on Friday.

Myran in July pleaded not guilty to charges of deliberate homicide and tampering with evidence in the death of 53-year-old Gayle Brewster of Three Forks.

Authorities arrested Myran on June 9 after discovering Brewster’s remains in a burn barrel near the house she had been renting. Brewster had been missing since May 12.

Myran argues that the property manager did not have the right to give law enforcement agents permission to search the property, and that he was denied an attorney.

Myran is being held at the Gallatin County Detention Center on $1 million bail.
