The investigation, which was led by Coffee County Sheriff’s Department and Coffee County District Attorney General’s office, is now closed.

Manchester Police Department has parked a patrol car in front of city hall in memory of Patterson. The community is welcome to leave flowers and other items with the car. Manchester Police Department is located at 200 W. Fort St. in downtown Manchester.
