COLUMBIA, Ill. — The collection of investigators that a spokesman says has identified a suspect in last week’s killings of a southwestern Illinois mother and her two children soon could shrink. The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis has been in place since shortly after the bodies of 31-year-old Sheri Coleman and her two sons — 11-year-old Garett and 9-year-old Gavin — were found May 5 in their Columbia home. A spokesman for the squad, Jeff Connor, says investigators presented their case on their suspect Wednesday to the Monroe County’s state’s attorney. But the prosecutor deferred filing charges until more evidence is tested. Connor says the major case squad made up of nearly two dozen investigators will decide whether it should now disband and turn the case over to Columbia police. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press.
