Jackson County letter stating that evidence had been destroyed.Since his conviction in 1985 Ewing has been trying to locate the physical evidence in all of the cases. The sheriff departments routinely ignored his requests.  Then the state of Michigan disallowed prisoners to file under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Friends and family, however, continued the search and in 1994 the Jackson County Sheriff Department stated that the evidence had been destroyed.

The prosecutor ordered the sheriff's department to Retain the Ewing Evidence.

The act of destroying the evidence was in direct disobedience to this order written by the Prosecutor in 1985.

The Ewing Defense team also sought the physical evidence from his convictions in Washtenaw County (Jensen & Wright).  In both cases it has mysteriously disappeared.
