Why are search warrants being kept under wraps?
Logan County officials are keeping a tight lid on search warrants issued in the Gee family murder investigation, even though such documents are supposed to be public record. “We’ve used a lot of search warrants, but we’re not going to release that information until we move out of the investigative part of the investigation,” Logan County Sheriff Steve Nichols said Friday. Warrants are believed to have been used to allow searches of the Armington home of Jason Harris and Jennifer Earnest, where Jason’s older brother Christopher Harris often stayed, as well as the Logan County homes of the Harris brothers’ father and Nicole Gee, Christopher Harris’ ex-wife. Authorities also seized a primer-gray truck belonging to Christopher Harris that was parked at Nicole Gee’s residence. Officials with the Logan County Circuit Clerk’s Office, which is responsible for keeping court records, said Friday the state’s attorney’s office has search-warrant applications and accompanying affidavits from police
