Identified! OR - Van Duzer State Park, Wht/Blk/HispFem 6-10, UP76624, Dec'20 - Haley Mae Coblentz

ah noooooo

Another possibility is that they have no evidence that the murder was premeditated (ie. she could have died as a result of neglect) which would warrant a manslaughter charge and maybe child neglect/endangerment charges.

Unfortunately this video is 6 months old, Oregon dropped the ball on this investigation and had to drop the charges against Haley's caregivers. These monsters are walking free among us and it brings me great sadness to this day. I got my hopes up when I saw your reply thinking they were able to recapture them on these charges but I guess not the world is incredibly unfair

Im guessing there wasn’t enough evidence to take the case to trial.

Does anyone else find it troublesome that she was 9 years old still wearing pull-ups? I also read that she was never enrolled in school.

Extremely troublesome. Preschools will not accept 4/5 yr olds wearing pull-ups. (I know infant and toddler schools may, but that's a different situation than 4/5 yr old preschool). I teach kids a year or two younger than 9, and pull-ups would absolutely not be in the classroom. Now, if this child was disabled and in SPED, that would be different, and I cannot speak to that as someone in general education, but of course you don't need to be an elementary educator to realize that a 9 yr old wearing pull-ups is a problem situation.

If she was never enrolled in school, it'd be fine if they were homeschooling her, but the chances anything was done to homeschool her are extremely minimal IMO. Sounds like poor Haley Mae was completely neglected and abused, in every way. Able-bodied 9 yr olds should not be in pull-ups and they should be enrolled in school or being homeschooled. This makes me see red.

OSP says a human skull was found along I-5 near Keizer

Oregon State Police said that the skull was found inside of a small backpack. Investigators are still working to find out who the person could be.

www.kgw.com

''In Michigan, police tracked down Coblentz's mother, 29-year-old Shawna Browning, and 34-year-old Lauren Harrison, charging them both with the child's murder. However, charges were later dropped without explanation.
This is a developing story and will be updated with more details as they emerge.''

I refuse to believe that SB and LH aren't being charged with ANYTHING. Even if Haley died a 100% natural or accidental death and wasn't abused/neglected (which is HIGHLY doubtful), they could at least be charged with failure to report a death or improper disposal of a corpse. It's really weird that they went from aggrevated murder (which could result in the death penalty) to absolutely nothing. Hoping Haley still gets justice.

 

[DFWNF]

What on earth happened? And as someone posted above, they both walk free?

 

[emberglade]

I have to imagine a lot of us are here because of the new "body" found on I-5: highway crimes like this are just terrible.

I wish this girl had even a modicum of justice. It's been two years and we dont even know what killed her

 

[TheHighestPriestess]

There may be a chance that this got dropped because of the public defender shortage in Oregon. However I would think this case would be extremely important for them to close, I just don't get it. As someone from the area I can say that a lot of stuff here gets swept under the rug until the local news picks up on it and then things "magically" start moving again, maybe that's what needs to happen here. They are also from out of state so I'm not sure how that complicates things.

 

[cvaldez1975]

ugh.... here is hoping charges are laid in the future

 

[TheHighestPriestess]

Hey everyone.

Today I made a call to one of the local stations in Oregon to get them to dig into this a bit, hopefully they do some investigating so we can have some answers as to why Haley hasn't gotten her justice yet.

 

[TheHighestPriestess]

The news station got back to me and said they are passing it onto their investigation team.

Fingers crossed!

 

[TheHighestPriestess]

it's been 2 years and there still doesn't seem to be movement... how??

I wouldn't be surprised if Shawna and Lauren are long gone at this point, what in the world is the DA doing?? and I reached out to KGW when I posted in this thread last, they never got back to me - I am going to try again.

 

[TheHighestPriestess]

wanted to update you all, I reached out to the news again after my last reply to this thread and they didn't even reply this time.

Has anyone had any success in getting a local news station to pick up a story? I've also tried calling and leaving a voicemail - zero reply.

I am honestly just begging someone who can make a difference to care at this point. This and the Aron Christensen case make the Oregon justice system look awful.

I think about Haley often, she deserved so much more.
