According to a post on a family member's page. As of 8/16, the GBI still has not offically closed the case. Wonder why it's taking so long?

wonder if they are waiting for more toxicology test results?

wonder if they are waiting for more toxicology test results?

Would they have stated the investigation was complete and the ruling final, if there were pending results? I thought it was just an administrative thing where they were assembling the case file?

This is probably a backlog of clerical duties where the file is in the queue to be handled when it comes around.....or, there is a wee part of me that thinks there's still something askew.

Does closing the case open the file up to family/public access in some way?

I'm don't know how case files are disclosed in Boston so will they say what was written in the texts between the brothers that led them to believe it was suicide?

Its does seem that the bullets arriving two days before Naazir was due to fly moved forward their sad plans.

As far as I have seen, very little is known about the girlfriend. If I’m remembering correctly, the family met/talked to her on the phone after the deaths.

I don’t know what all would be in the file if it’s requested by an individual. I’m assuming GBI would have the emails if available/pertinent to the investigation, but it seems like to me, communications are usually heavily redacted.

I know someone who lost both parents at a young age...their guardian took all the SS payments and lied about what she was doing with those payments for years..when my friend came of age there was nothing..all her benefits stopped and there was no "savings" as promised. She was still really young and she told me she was super depressed about it for a long time.. I do wonder if this could be the catalyst..only something to consider which fortunately most of us don't go through something like this. mOO

The Towns County Sheriff’s Office was the one that originally responded (and then called the GBI).

Recently, on a separate/unrelated case, there is now an investigation regarding the Towns County Sheriff in re: to actions toward a Hiawassee police officer. Things seem like a bit of a mess re: the Towns County Sheriff. MOO. I wonder if it affected other areas of work like this investigation of the deaths of the Lewis brothers? A special prosecutor has now been appointed to investigate the sheriff.
