Lewis County Coroner Warren McLeod

Coroner Warren McLeod acknowledges he is required under state law to issue the warrants after his inquest jury determined Ron Reynolds and his son Jonathan Reynolds were responsible for the homicide, but indicates a legal issue has arisen.

In a news release this morning, McLeod writes a “complete public disclosure” will be made a week from today when his inquest is reconvened in Lewis County District Court.

McLeod calls it a temporary suspension to allow for resolution of the issue.

He stated no further details will be provided at this time.
