At the same time, though, Peltier was extradited from Canada based on testimony from his girlfriend, Myrtle Poor Bear, that she had witnessed Peltier murder the two FBI agents. Perhaps most central to the FBI’s argument against Peltier was testimony from a ballistics expert that tied the shell casings from the murder scene to Peltier’s own rifle. Peltier’s application for parole was later denied in 1993, but the US Parole Commission stated that they “recognize[d] that the prosecution has conceded the lack of any direct evidence that [Peltier] personally participated in the executions of the two FBI agents.”
