After nearly a month of interviews and analysis, Carl F. Christiansen submitted a final report on his investigation into the conduct of Franklin County Sheriffâs Deputy Jeff Farmer.
Farmerâs conduct on both scores was brought to the fore by all five Franklin County public defenders, who penned a letter to Quire critical of the detectiveâs decision to attend the rally and detailing alleged past incidents of racial bias.
The Franklin County Sheriffâs Office and the Franklin County Coronerâs Office are investigating the deaths of two people on Ryswick Lane in late January.
To date, their identities have not been released. Franklin County Coroner Will Harrod said the victims have been identified, but investigators have not been able to locate next-of-kin to make the necessary notifications.Â
In an email earlier this week, Harrod said autopsies have been completed on both people, but he did not release the results.
Harrod said his office was notified around 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, of two people deceased in a residence on Ryswick Lane, which is in the residential neighborhood off Country Lane in east Frankfort.
