The Guard has done a nice write up on the murder and subsequent arrest of Nicholas McGuffin in the ten year old Leah Freeman case.
The cops had searched McGuffin’s 1967 Mustang three weeks earlier, seizing a piece of duct tape and two rolls of film. What police didn’t find: no liner, no spare tire, no jack and no tire iron in the trunk of the car.
McGuffin’s father, Bruce McGuffin, explained that the items had been removed from the trunk “as the car was in need of repair,” according to an affidavit for the search warrant filed with the Coos County courts.
According to the DA there are no plans to charge anyone with obstruction of justice or as an accessory to the crime at this time.
