Advocates for vanished men expect charges

[kweerwolf]

TAMPA - Their faces still haunt their families. Their friends still hold out hope that killers will be brought to justice. But two years after Jason Galehouse and Michael Wachholtz disappeared, the two men investigators think killed them still have not been charged with murder.

On Wednesday, local gay rights advocates said that could change soon. Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober told Equality Florida members his office intends to file murder charges against Steven Lorenzo and Scott Schweickert, said Equality Florida spokesman Brian Winfield.

Members of the gay rights group discussed the cases with Ober in his office for about two hours.

"We walked away with the expectation that charges would be forthcoming," Winfield said. "I'm convinced that he (Ober) is completely committed to pursuing this case to the full extent of the law."
