SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon attorney general’s office says a special investigator’s search has failed to turn up missing evidence in an Oregon triple murder case.

On December 18th, a man who claimed he was wrongly convicted of a triple murder more than a decade ago was freed after prosecutors said key evidence needed for a retrial was unavailable.

The attorney general’s office said Monday that special investigator Dennis Carson couldn’t track down any of the missing evidence used against Philip Scott Cannon.

In his report, Carson said he interviewed former Polk County District Attorney John Fisher. The former DA told Carson he might have signed an order to have the material purged, but he had no idea where the exhibits ended up.
