http://www.komonews.com/news/local/98570694.html It has become quite clear that Pam Kohler and Colton Harris-Moore plan on profiting from his crimes. Today KOMO reported that one of their attorneys is investigating “defamation” against his clients as well. So not only do they want to make money off of people’s misery, now they might want revenge– for what he […]
