I like that Sheriff... professional yet you can tell he cares immensely.

I was just getting ready to post the same thing. There's something about these LE guys from the south I love. Direct, honest, caring. You just don't get much better than that when cases like this come around.

 

[Knox]

Apparently he changed his name which considering what it is - doesn’t surprise me. Birth name Jeremy Davis JMO

So he was adopted by the Lewellyn family? Where are you seeing that information?

 

[Oregonmama]

He is in custody charged with capital murder

When the name is announced, court record search below-

it was reported on her missing fb page. Let me know if I should delete. Stated he changed his name shortly after highschool.

Watched the sheriff; they can't really release much yet. No interesting info to report from that really

IMO if it were truly accidental, that would more likely be revealed. Evidence to gather and process. Holding back until there is certainty. JMO

Wow. Not what you would expect for an accident. I expected abuse or corpse or something along that line while they waited for autopsy.

It’s such a small community. He said Sydney was friends with his girls. It’s so hard.

Me too - he has a profound sadness to him

A report came in that a local farmer, Quake Lewellyn, has confessed to police that he hit Sydney Claire Sutherland, resulting in her death and then fled the scene. Police are reporting there is no indication she was hit by a vehicle at this time.Joel Ledbetter 5NEWS Photo Journalist

Did he flee the scene with Sydney's body?

Did he flee the scene with Sydney's body?

He apparently took her while she was walking and they found her body during the search - some accounts say she was buried but the only MSM I’ve found say she was just “found” I’ve updated her media thread and I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop
