OR - Leah Freeman, 15, found murdered, Coquille, 28 June 2000

[chicagofa13]

Leah's case will be on 20/20 tomorrow, August 13, 2010. 9p CDT, I am thinking 10p PDT/EDT and not sure about MDT, but will be 9 or 10.

Her Mom told me 20/20 had been in town interviewing her but she didn't know for sure when it would air, well the time has come! This is GREAT exposure, will also be discussing how the Vidocq Society took her case and reviewed it.

In the summer of 2000, 15-year-old Leah Freeman went missing in Coquille, Ore. For almost a week, the Coquille Police Department, led by Chief Mike Reeves, treated it as a missing person case, believing that the teen had run away.

Yet on the night the teen disappeared, an ominous discovery was made. A man picked up a shoe by the side of a town road. He thought it belonged to his daughter. It was not until days later, after the town's search for Leah had grown increasingly anxious, that he turned the shoe over to police.... snip

Just got an email the show is canceled for tonight and will be rescheduled. No reason given. I HOPE it is because LE asked for it to not be shown for a particular reason. I HOPE it's not to cover some stupid person like Steven Slater or Lindsay Lohan who doesn't deserve any coverage to begin with.

ARGH! :banghead: Please keep me in the loop when it gets rescheduled!!!

 

[chicagofa13]

The listing on my Tivo said last night's show is about the suicide of a wealthy NY woman. So, I am HOPING that they pulled it because LE wanted them too???!!! I will keep you updated when I hear something and vice versa please!

Press conference will be at 7pm pacific time tonight!

 

[Kimster]

Press conference now! I don't have it on the Eugene channels - DANG!

 

[Kimster]

What's the matter? You don't get to race your car around, laughing and smiling like you don't have a care in the world anymore? How did you think Cory felt when she saw you doing that, Nick???

I'm still wanting to see a perp walk!!!

 

[Kimster]

"I am so thrilled," said Cory Courtright , Freeman's mother, Monday afternoon. "Oh my God, I am so thrilled. I know there is a long trial ahead of me. I don't care. I always said I was going to see this through to the end and I will."<snipped>

You go, girl! :dance:

[chicagofa13]

TY all for the updates!! Coincidentally I am home visiting right now, but where I am at I have very limited internet so I can't get online much. So happy to hear this!!! I hope they have a good case, I still get nervous since it was a GJ indictment.

I know this post was intended for Julie (sorry Julie) but I just wanted to throw in this little tid bit....We don't have a "signed" amunity agreement in the legal documents on Leah's site. That doesn't mean there isn't one. Right? Not that I have seen one (cause if I had I would say so), but isn't there the possibility that there IS a signed one "somewhere"??? Also, does anyone find it a bit suspicious that BB was to go in front of the Grand Jury on August 4th, and they found her on the 3rd? After 5 weeks of searching??? I don't know......I find it very suspicious!

This to me is one of the strangest aspects of the case! Cory, I am so happy for you and may God bless you and your family with the justice sweet Leah so deserves. I still have to wonder what posessed a man to stop his car and pick up a tennis shoe while he was coming home from work? One of those strange but true little things that happen to make things fall into place I guess?

Looking forward to hearing about the trial and the witness list. I wonder if BB had signed a document after all?

(((Hugs))) and prayers for justice!:woohoo:
