An Oakland County resident has been accused by local law enforcement of being in connection with James and Jennifer Crumbley’s disappearance. However, the accused man, Sikora, said he did not know the couple had active warrants, that he wouldn’t have let them come to the building where his business is located.
Sikora’s lawyer, Clarence Dass, told Fox News that if his client knew the parents had charges or active warrants, he definitely would not even have let them come by.
Dass added that Sikora did not know that the couple was on the run.
Dass stated on Sunday saying that Sikora, who has not been charged with any crime, is a “person of interest” and has been providing the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office with information.
“Mr. Sikora has not been charged with any crime. Nevertheless, upon learning of the Crumbleys’ arrest on December 4, 2021, he voluntarily contacted the Detroit Police Department and Oakland County Sheriff’s Office to provide information,” Dass said.
A meeting between Sikora and detectives is scheduled for Monday to discuss Sikora’s connections with the disappearance of Jennifer and James Crumbley, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office announced.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard said that the department will investigate the whole situation vigorously so as to determine if there is any criminality or obstruction of justice-involved. “Our findings will be presented to the prosecutor,” Bouchard said.
James and Jennifer Crumbly are facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter charges after their 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley, opened fire at Oxford High School, killing four people classmates and wounding seven others.
James and his wife, who were supposed to turn themselves in, disappeared on Friday and were found by police in a basement in a Detroit building on early Saturday morning, where they were arrested.
The couple was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter on Saturday. Each of them is being held on a $500,000 bond.
