Coquille Police have submitted a case for prosecution in the murder of Leah Freeman. Chief Mark Dannels refused to release any names yet but said the district attorney is presenting their case to the grand jury to decide if a prosecution will go forward.

This has been a lot of work for Dannels, reconstructing files in disarray from the original investigation and I know it has been a personal mission for him. This community should be forever grateful and the heroic and herculean effort he has made to bring the case this far along.

Cross our fingers the grand jury will indict those named in the case and a murder trial will begin. Peace be upon Leah and her family
