Legal Documents

The Coos County District Attorney's office has released all documents not sealed in the Leah Freeman murder investigation.  Most of these documents consist of affidavits for search warrants, search warrants and the results of search warrants.  Those not familiar with legal documents should not confuse these affidavits with actual police reports and other similar documents.  There are undoubtedly numerous affidavits, reports and documents remaining in the Leah Freeman case that are currently sealed.

The City of Coquille Police Department declined to release any documents pertaining to the Leah Freeman case.  The fact that CPD did not release any documents is an indication that the case is still being actively investigated and CPD does not want to compromise any portion of that investigation.

Seven years ago the family retained the services of a private investigator.  The findings of the private investigation were independent of any law enforcement investigation into the matter.

Since the private investigator's report does contain information which is not contained in any of the documents released thus far by the District Attorney's office, it has been decided not to publish the report on this website.  It could be counter productive to publish information on this website which could compromise or hinder any on-going investigation being conducted by law enforcement personnel.
