Mary Jane Reed’s remains

"That when Mary Jane Reed’s remains, (Skull, vertebrae and femur etc.) were returned by the Ogle County sheriff’s office from the ISP lab, the Ogle County deputy coroner called Warren Reed, (The female victim’s brother) to ask him where he wanted the remains cremated.

That Warren Reed stated he did not want his sister’s remains cremated, that he had arranged to have them buried in an infants coffin at the head of her grave.

That the Ogle County deputy coroner became upset with Warren Reed and stated to him, “There is no way I am releasing your sister’s remains to you.”

Legal Action Filed

That once again Warren Reed was forced to file legal actions against the Ogle County coroner in order to obtain his sister’s remains.

After several months of costly litigation the Ogle County judge ordered that Mary Jane Reed’s remains were to be returned to her brother Warren."

Sheriff refuses to release CD

"That the Ogle County Sheriff was ordered pursuant to the Ogle County judge’s first order in 2005, to release the video CD of the exhuming and post mortem examination of Mary Jane Reed to her brother, Warren Reed.

That the Ogle County Sheriff refused to release said CD video to Warren Reed.

Legal Action

That once again Warren Reed was forced to file costly legal actions against the Ogle County Sheriff’s office to obtain the video CD of his sister’s exhuming and post mortem examination.

That the Ogle County Sheriff’s office released the said video CD to Warren Reed several months after the litigation was filed.

That after reviewing the video CD it was determined the last 13 minutes of the audio recording on the disc went silent, while the video picture continued.

That just prior to the on site video recording of the female victim’s body, the ISP camera man stated to everyone in the room, “You might want to watch what you say while I film this, because I cannot turn off the audio recording portion, on this camera.”

That immediately prior to the video’s audio going silent, conversation can be heard whereby the ISP anthropologist states to the Ogle County Captain as follows: “I’ve never seen this before… I can’t release this to you without the families consent…”

That a conversation took place between the ISP anthropologist and the Ogle County Captain that was intentionally or negligently erased/dubbed out in the copying process that Warren Reed should have been privy to.

That when questioned at an earlier date, the Ogle County Captain stated that his wife was in charge of making copies of the video CD for Warren Reed.

Board certified anthropology reports

That after receiving his sister’s remains Warren Reed chose to have them examined by multiple board certified anthropologists.

That after examination, all of the board certified anthropologists concurred that the skull and C-1 vertebrae removed from the coffin of Mary Jane Reed, did not in fact belong to Mary Jane Reed.

That said anthropologists concurred the skull and vertebrae they examined belonged to a petite woman in her mid 20’s.

That Mary Jane Reed was 17 years of age at her death and was a larger type female with big bone traits."

One of the best posts I have ever read on this site. It appears they did succeed in getting away with murder.
