COQUILLE, Ore. (AP) — On the 10th anniversary of her daughter’s disappearance, Cory Courtright led what she hopes will be the final candlelight vigil before the case is solved.
Courtright’s daughter — 15-year-old Leah Freeman — vanished June 28, 2000, and her body was found 37 days later.
The case went cold until last week, when Coquille Police Chief Mark Dannels announced that investigators have a suspect, and District Attorney R. Paul Frasier plans to present evidence to a grand jury.
At Monday night’s vigil, Courtright thanked investigators for not giving up.
