COLUMBIA: Coleman provides fingerprints, retains attorney


By Joe Leicht

The Major Case Squad and Columbia Police have a set of fingerprints but no
suspect.

And the father of two boys and husband of a woman found slain last week has
an attorney.

At around 3 p.m. Monday afternoon, Christopher Coleman left Columbia Police
Headquarters with his attorney, William Margulis, having supplied police
with his fingerprints.

Major Case Squad Deputy Commander Jeff Connor said at a 4:15 p.m. press
briefing Coleman nor anyone else has been identified as either a suspect or
a person of interest in the slayings of Sheri Coleman, 31, and her sons
Gavin, 9, and Garett, 11.

Connor said police probably would not call anyone a suspect "until right up
to the time of someone being charged. We are not at that time yet."

"He came with his attorney and he supplied us with a set of fingerprints,"
which Connor said was needed "just to compare them with other evidence we
may have gathered."

Connor said the Major Case Squad's window of investigating the crime has
been extended, though he did not say how long.

Connor said police are still seeking any information the public might have
about the Coleman family.

"We are in the process of trying to reconstruct three lives, any information
that would help is welcome," he said.

Police still have not commented on the method used in killing the Colemans,
who were found May 5 at their home on Robert Drive in the Columbia Lakes
Subdivision.
