Dave Markham was joined by Florida private investigator J. Ryan Green and attorney Tina Barrett for a press conference, where he asked that the Butler County Sheriff’s Office take over the investigation into the death of his daughter.
“I am willing to take a look at the case and see if there is anything we can do,” Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones told the Journal-News today.
“I have instructed my staff to make contact with Fairfield (police) today, and we will come down to take a look at the case,” he said.
In the past, Markham and Green have called for Fairfield to assign new detective to the case, which was declined by Police Chief Mike Dickey. However, more than one officer from that department is continuing to investigate, he told the Journal-News.
