California Highway Patrol Officers, Others Eyed in Killing
Source: AP
Three current and former California Highway Patrol officers, a prominent criminal defense lawyer and five other people were arrested Friday in connection with the disappearance and killing of a Central Valley man.
Law enforcement officials announced the arrests at a brief news conference in Modesto. The officials said the nine people played a part in the killing of Korey Kauffman, 26, or helped cover it up and mislead investigators.
Kauffman was reported missing in April 2012. His body was found by hunters in August 2013 in rural Mariposa County near Yosemite National Park.
Investigators with the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department said Modesto attorney Frank Carson orchestrated the killing and enlisted the help of two brothers who own a liquor store in Turlock.
