A woman whose daughter was murdered in 1988 said she is disappointed and angered by a new reality television show about her family's case.

Sheila Kimmell, who used to live in Billings, Mont., said she is considering legal action against the producers of the TruTV cable show "Body of Evidence." The program features Dayle Hinman, an FBI-trained criminal profiler.

The season premiere of the show aired Saturday and included a 30-minute segment on the murder of Lisa Marie Kimmell, who was abducted, raped and killed in Wyoming while driving between Denver and Billings.

Lisa Kimmell grew up in Billings and had moved to Denver after graduating from Senior High. She was 18 years old when she was killed.

The case went unsolved for 14 years until a DNA match in 2002 led investigators to Dale Wayne Eaton, a divorced drifter who was convicted of Lisa Kimmell's slaying and sentenced to death in 2004.

Kimmell's body was found by fishermen floating the North Platte River southeast of Casper on April 2, 1988. The discover came eight days after a state trooper - likely one of the last people to see her alive - wrote her a ticket.

In 2002, authorities found the car that belonged to Kimmell buried near Eaton's former home in Moneta, about 70 miles west of Casper in Fremont County.

The case has long captured public interest, and it has been featured on such television shows as "Eye on America," "Unsolved Mysteries" and "Cold Case Files." In 2005, Sheila Kimmell, who now lives in Colorado, wrote a book about her family's loss and experience with the criminal justice system.

Kimmell said in a telephone interview she believes the latest television version of her daughter's case is misleading because Hinman appears in the show as if she was involved from the beginning. Hinman never played a role in the investigation of her daughter's murder, Kimmell said, and she said the show is a "disservice" to the law enforcement officers who were involved.

"I'm not going to stand behind it and endorse it," Kimmell said. "I'm not going to be used, and I'm not going to let them use my daughter. This is not what Lisa's life and legacy are about, and I'm not going to prostitute my daughter. I'm not going to prostitute my family."

Kimmell said she agreed to be interviewed and filmed at her home for the program last summer. She said she agreed to participate after a producer assured her the show would be factual.

"He described it as an educational program, reality-based, about criminal profiling," Kimmell said.

Shortly after the film crew left, Kimmell said, she grew concerned. Others close to the investigation had not agreed to participate, she said, and it appeared as if Hinman, whom she has never spoken with, was injecting herself into the closed investigation.

"There is nothing she did to contribute to the solving of this case," Kimmell said.

Similar concerns were expressed by Billings resident Don Flickinger, a retired ATF agent who spent nearly a decade investigating the Kimmell murder. Flickinger said he also agreed to be filmed for the Hinman show. After watching it, Flickinger said he disagrees with how the program presented the investigation.

"The FBI agent who did the actual (criminal) profile shortly after the murder was never even mentioned in the program," Flickinger said. "It's pretty easy to do a program like that and act like you are profiling the individual involved when that person has already been convicted and is on death row."

Bryan Ranharter, an associate producer for Story House Productions, said Thursday the company would have no comment about the complaints by Kimmell and Flickinger.

Kimmell said she is most concerned that viewers will be deceived into believing that Hinman was responsible for solving her daughter's murder. She is considering legal action to halt any future broadcast of the segment, but she acknowledged there may be little chance of winning such case.

"Anybody can write a book, and I can't stop them," Kimmell said. "But I can expose them. The same goes for a TV program."
