Leah’s Long Path To Justice
$3.99
Leah Freeman disappeared on June 28, 2000 after a mile long walk from her friend Cherie’s house to where she was last seen in front of the Coquille High School. Five weeks later her remains were discovered where she had been dumped, without ceremony or respect or any regard for her family, off a 15′ embankment next to the Coquille River.
It would take ten years, a mother’s dogged persistence and a new police chief to bring her suspected killer to trial and a successful conviction.
After serving more than nine years of a mandatory ten year sentence for manslaughter, a circuit court judge overturned the conviction.
Was an innocent man wrongly imprisoned or has a killer been set loose?
