May 17th @ 6:04 pm in News by Scott Staley

Attorneys for Douglas Thames, who has now been charged with the murder of a Palisade woman in 1994, claim their client was contacted improperly by FBI agents while he was being held in the Mesa County Jail.  According to court filings he was being questioned with the presence of his lawyer.  Now attorneys are seeking subpoenas  for records showing all those who signed in and out of the jail on May 10th as well as internal jail surveillance video tracking Thames movements on that day.  Meanwhile Thames is still serving life in prison without parole for a 1989 rape murder.  He was arrested in Mesa County on that charge in 1995.
