ullcgat 01b made by Jun' regard.ing_ F/d Murray. Late on 
19--84, I learned that the Jury had been so: for 4-20784i I arranged to meet
with James Patterson and Dave at cum group home at approximately noon on 4'20--84.
Our plan was to inform Jeff just shortly before having to go Lofhand July at 1:00 pm. This
was our planned strategy as we knuw than Jeff was exceedingly anxious and did not want to
increase his anxiety level any higher. On the mowing- or 440734, Jeff had a confrontatiun
with a staff member at GENA and walked off property, climbing on a Tr'l Mot bus. 
immediately imported Jeff as a mnaway and he was up off the bus and bl'cught to 1710'
tective Services at approximately 11'30 am. I talked with him at length at this time and
was joined by James Patterson and Dave Foes: . We all proceeded to the Mulmamah County
Courthouse where we met with the DA Mary Tomlinson shartly before 1:00. Jeff Simpson, Dave
Foesch and I all were called upon to testify at Grand Jury However, we were notified by
Mary Lhal. she would not be askin the Grand Jul'v to vote on an indictcment until
she had further illiorm'ltlon on_lh-. Murray. Jeff was retumcd to
the 613% group home following the Grand July and then spent weekend in Vernonia with a
GENA staff person, Mr. Murray had been calling the group home constantly all week 
ing to have Contact with Jeff. Often he had threatened the group home with law suits when
he was denied Contact. On 4'20--84 after such a phone call, Dave Foesch contacted Mr. Mn"
ray at his place of work, MetropoliLan Public Office. Min Murra was advised
cf the char es as noted in the Followup olicc rc Uri: dated 4721784.

 

   
 

 

 
 

My next Contact with Jeff Smpson was on #25784 when I picked him up at the GHNA group home

I met. with the Distr r. [\ttm'nsy Mary Tomlinson at her request. This meeting included Dave
