Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler is running for governor on the platform “Fighting For You”. Mr. Gansler while in the seat of Maryland States Attorney for Montgomery County met with the Warren/Couey family on several occasions. “At my core, I am about protecting people, standing up for justice and fairness and never giving up on a fight when it’s right”- Doug Gansler. I guess one can conclude that although Mary Couey paid tax’s in MD for 30+yrs and Keith Warren was a citizen of Montgomery County Maryland, Mr. Gansler was not in the fight for protecting Mary Couey or Keith Warren or standing up for justice and accountability in the death of Keith Warren and gave up on the Warren/Couey family.

TONIGHT THE I-TEAM HAS LEARNED THERE HAVE BEEN NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN ONE OF THIS REGION’S LONGEST-RUNNING MYSTERIES: WHO, IF ANYONE, KILLED KEITH WARREN?
(Full transcript can be found on www.keithwarrenjusticesite.com)
Story:
IT IS ONE OF WASHINGTON’S MOST PERPLEXING MYSTERIES.
DID KEITH WARREN COMMIT SUICIDE, OR WAS HE MURDERED?
AS THE I-TEAM FIRST REPORTED NEARLY A DECADE AGO, HIS BODY WAS FOUND HANGING FROM A TREE IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. TODAY, KEITH WARREN WOULD BE THIRTY FOUR YEARS OLD.
Mary Couey, Keth Warren’s mother: “I have to keep seeking justice until there are some answers.”
NOW, AS WAS THE CASE A DECADE AGO, KEITH WARREN’S MOTHER BELIEVES HER SON WAS MURDERED………….
……..BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO. NOW THE I-TEAM HAS LEARNED THERE IS NEW LIFE IN CONNECTION WITH THE WARREN CASE. SPECIFICALLY, A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION EXAMINING SEVERAL QUESTIONS. AMONG THEM, THE ISSUE OF MURDER VERSUS SUICIDE, AND ONE NEW TWIST – DID THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT BOTCH THE CASE ENTIRELY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SOLVE?
Del Walters: “Does it bother you that if Keith Warren did not take his own life, then there’s someone out there who committed murder?”
Doug Gansler, Montgomery County State’s Attorney: “Yes.”
IN THIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE I-TEAM, MONGTROMERY COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY DOUG GANSLER CONFIRMED A GRAND JURY HAS INDEED BEEN LOOKING AT THE KEITH WARREN CASE.
Gansler: “We looked at all the material, along with the sheriff, Ray Kight, and decided to reopen the case.”
Gansler: “We reopened the case, we used the grand jury, we examined all the leads, we talked to all possible witnesses, and came to a conclusion of inconclusiveness.”
Del Walters: “Is the final, bottom line in this case going to be that we just don’t know what happened to Keith Warren?”
Gansler: “There are very strong arguments, having looked at everything in this case, that Keith Warren died of suicide. But there are equally strong arguments to suggest that he did not die of suicide, that he was killed or died accidentally and then was put on this tree afterwards.”
HE ALSO SAYS THE LIKELY CONCLUSION WILL NOT PLEASE POLICE, AND WILL DO EVEN LESS TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
Del Walters: “Is it your opinion that the police botched this investigation?”
Gansler: “Under today’s guidelines and procedures, this would have been botched.”
