The Kodiak
Police Department has announced that it may have identified the vehicle
involved in the fatal hit-and-run that killed Justin McGriff nearly three weeks
ago.
A Crime
Stoppers Hotline tip led police to the unidentified vehicle, according to a
written statement from the police chief’s office.
Detectives
from the Kodiak Police Department and forensic scientists from the State of
Alaska crime lab have been analyzing the vehicle to determine if it was
involved in the fatal collision. The chief’s office says interviews have been
conducted with people with a connection to the suspect vehicle, but so far have
not made any arrests.
McGriff’s
body was found in the early morning hours of April 29th on Pillar
Mountain Road, not far from where he lived in a tent.

The Kodiak
Island Borough Assembly failed to override the mayoral veto paying attorney
fees for three of its members at last night’s meeting.
The vote to
pay the legal bills of assembly members Tom Abell, Louise Stutes and Reed
Oswalt in the Mel Stephens attendance lawsuit was four in favor of the override
and three to uphold the veto. Normally, measures pass with four or more yes
votes, but overriding a veto takes five votes. Originally, the measure that
Mayor Jerome Selby vetoed, passed with five yes votes on May 1st.
Pat Branson was the assembly member who changed her position, and she explained
that public pressure swayed her decision.
When the
resolution to pay the legal bills passed two weeks ago, Branson, Abell, Stutes,
Oswalt and Jerrol Friend voted in favor of it. Sue Jeffrey and Chris Lynch
voted against it.
Public
opinion was on both sides of the veto, but came down squarely on the side of
just getting it over with. Click the Play button to hear a sampling of the public comment on the
issue, from before and after the vote.
