I sure hope that this case is solved

Cory, who is this girlfriend following you from site to site?? That is psycho. And NM is back in the area??? Would like to know where he works so I can avoid it!

 

[Cory Courtright]

Hi Chicago! How are ya?? Hey~ Send me your email address please??? Lost all my "stuff"!

His girlfriend is Maegan Edgerton (sp?). And yes..... she does seem phycho.

Yep. He is back in the area. I don't know where exactly he works, but it would be nice to avoid that place.

 

[MrAhhHa!]

Is she the same g/f he has a daughter with? Are you thinking she's the one that went by "Alexis Rae" & called herself a "platonic friend" of his on the crimesearchers forum? or are ther other names you think she went by?

I am wondering if BB is the "BW" on the MySpace profile "Alicia & BW", as W is his middle initial??? You say you don't think he helped cover up, but what about the fact that he admits being with NM from 11-2:30, when Leah's body was most likely "dumped"? And the "cleanup" at his GP's house next day after cops were there, when the shirt disappeared. who else could/would have done that other than him? (Unless NM went there after he was with you?) speaking of, I read on your local forum down there that you said there was blood on that shirt. First time I heard that. True?

One of my theories is that maybe NM has something "major" on BB that has kept him silent, such as dope dealing, burglary/theft, or maybe even date rape/sexual assault??? Otherwise, given immunity if NOT directly involved PLUS $5K reward to feed his drug habit, the only "incentive" would be fear of being labelled a "snitch"...???

"Interesting" that NM keeps returning to the area, (didn't I read that he'd just recently left the state?), yet STILL doesn't fight to clear his "good name", let alone for his family's. OR publicly push for "the real killer" of "the love of his life" to be caught like even "LO-J" Simpson did before moving as far away as he could get within the US.

{would LOVE to hear what YOU have to say about that Nicko! Whether you're an innocent man being wrongly villified OR a guilty one who got away with it, why not "get out of dodge" & start an "anonymous" new life in the wild blue yonder? Too nerve-wracking to be "out of the loop" & not have your "finger on the pulse" of the situation? or do you just get your ego fed playing the "notorious bad-boy", & cursing the poor devastated mother of a HOMICIDE victim in the frigging grocery store to impress your knatty g/f? Would LOVE to give you the benefit of "reasonable doubt" 'bro', but your bizarre & pitiful behavior makes it soooooooo difficult}.

HAPPY NEW YEAR... let's hope it's a good one, full of TRUTH & JUSTICE FOR LEAH!!!

Ummmm....if the cops seized a light bulb and "modified smoking apparatus" then chances are he was also doing either meth or crack. It's possible that he was crazed as a result and did something violent (weed wouldn't cause that type of reaction either) maybe after she confronted him for it? or possible (not saying its the case) that she was persuaded to do something that led to some type of reaction or overdose, or injure herself as a result and NM flipped and disposed of her to cover himself. Either way i don't trust him whatsoever now that i know cops seized a lightbulb from him. That s*&t is bad news

OH! Slammed! You are great!!!! Leah persueded to do drugs? Naw.... she was an athletical kinda girl. IF she did drugs that night, it was NOT at her own will. I'll tell you this......Nick did a bang up job of leading everyone to believe that a man by the name of Bill ran over Leah and it didn't kill her so he took her to a home 20 miles from Coquille to try to "get her well". And that there were 5 people present at this house who Bill made each one of them "do something to Leah" so that they would all be a part of the murder. What a joke! NM is such a PUKE and I have EVERY reason to believe that NM is the culprit here - not Bill. And OMG - that thing he calls his girlfriend now days - well, let's just say she is a complete WACKO!!! Nasty little twit. She likes to follow me from site to site pretending to be someone else and then starts in (when her identity is revealed) on how bad a mother I was. Like she would have a flippin' clue!! Believe me - the twit is an absolute NUT CASE!

I was a good Mom.

(wonder how long it will take her to find me here......we will surely see soon!!)

Leah's case is featured this week on NG's cold cases. I have been in contact with Cory and she says some things are going on, she can't really talk about it, but there seems to be forward momentum!!!

I think this article is mostly accurate, some nitpicky things from me, but nothing major.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/29/grace.coldcase.freeman/index.html

Police have not publicly named any suspects. However, Dannels said Leah's boyfriend and friends are a focus of their investigation.

"Recently, the boyfriend and his family came to us saying they wished to clear their son's name and wanted to cooperate and help in our investigation," Dannels said. CNN's calls to the boyfriend and his attorney were not returned.

 

[Kimster]

National attention! I LOVE IT! :woohoo: I am so excited!

 

[chicagofa13]

Cory just emailed me and sent me this link, she says she had no idea this was happening:

Major new news in there. It seems Nick and fam "wanted" to help but then when the case was reopened he re-lawyered up!

Police believe investigation moving towards resolution

COQUILLE, Ore. - Lab results expected by the end of April could help solve the decade-old murder of 15-year-old Leah Freeman, law enforcement officials said.

snip...

"Our job at Coquille Police Department is to prove who did this, whether that be a boyfriend or somebody else. When we opened the case to the public in January, three days after, we received a letter from the boyfriend's attorney that he had lawyered up, we have not talked to him," said Dannels. "They have not been cooperative with law enforcement.

...snip...

 

[Kimster]

YES!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE for LEAH!

 

[Cubby]

Praying the resolution sought comes back from the lab quickly and Justice for Leah!

Published June 25, 2010| Associated Press
SNIP:

COQUILLE, Ore. (AP) — A decade after she vanished, police say they have a suspect in the disappearance and death of a 15-year-old girl on the Oregon coast.

Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said Friday he plans to ask Presiding Judge Richard Barron to appoint a grand jury specifically for the case.
Frasier hopes to meet with the jurors once or twice a week to review the facts during hearings expected to take two to three months, with more than 100 witnesses.

He declined to identify the suspect or give more details.

'We're not going to arrest anybody until the grand jury tells us," Frasier said.

Thank you for posting the article, I had a long day away from the laptop and couldn't get here!! So excited for the GJ to hear the case.

Coquille Police Chief Mark Dannels said the team of officers from multiple Coos County agencies interviewed more than 200 people over the last six months, amassed more than 5,500 pages of documents and re-examined more than 100 pieces of evidence. They also traveled to Philadelphia, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Tennessee and London in search of experts who might help analyze evidence, and presented the case to Vidocq Society, a nonprofit organization of forensic specialists who specialize in cold cases.

"The Coquille community came together Monday night to remember a young murder victim. Leah Freeman was killed 10 years ago, when she was just 15. The candlelight vigil at Coquille High School was about honoring Leah's memory." <snipped>
