Kevin Wayne NewlandSPOKANE, Wash. - Sheriff's Major Crimes detectives are looking for four people who allegedly spent the day with murder suspect Kevin Wayne Newland the day Jamie Lynn Drake was killed.
According to Newland, he has been living a transient lifestyle and spending nights in city and county parks. On Thursday, June 22, he sais he was at Chief Garry Park at Mission and Greene when he met four people who invited him to go drinking with them. One of the men was named "John" and drove a dark blue Ford F-150 pickup. A second man was called "Louis" and a woman was called "Boo." The fourth person, another male, went unidentified. These last three were in a dark gray or black Acura.
Newland and the four allegedly drove to a spot along the Little Spokane River north of Commellini's Restaurant where they drank alcohol. At some point there was a disagreement and John used his pickup to drive Newland to Jamie Drake's apartment so he could talk with her roommate who was his girlfriend.
The detective assigned to the case wants the four people to call the Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at 509-477-2714. Investigators also want to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Newland on Thursday, June 22.Comments Terms of Use: We welcome your participation in our community.
