Philipsburg: --- The husband of Leta Lynn Cordes, Frank Cordes has been released from pre-trial detention yesterday said Chief Prosecutor of the Windward Islands Taco Stein. Stein said that the prosecution has requested from the judge of instruction a suspension of Frank Cordes detention since they do not have enough evidence to move the case to court. Even though Frank Cordes is released he remains a suspect in the case Stein said.
Leta Lynn Cordes disappeared on the night of January 11, 2008 when she allegedly left by foot to go the Westin Casino to gamble. The last person that saw the 49 year old Mission Viejo woman alive was her husband Frank Cordes who filed an official police report one day later.
Cordes was arrested on Tuesday October 14 2008 as a suspect in the case of his missing wife. Cordes remain behind bars since then until his release yesterday.
