Mother of teen-age murder victim fights for girl's remains

SEASIDE, Ore. -- The mother of a 16-year-old killed eight years ago is fighting a legal battle with prosecutors who insist they cannot release the girl's partial remains.
Penny Jamison's daughter, Tammy Albertson, disappeared in March 1992.
Her stepfather, Jack Jamison, drove her to a telephone booth at Mohler convenience store, where she planned to call her friends. But she never came home.
Police and community members spent nearly a year searching for clues. Partial remains of the girl were discovered March 1993 in a thickly wooded area off Oregon 53 near Mohler, in a place known as God's Valley.
But prosecutors have refused to release the remains, saying that they may someday use them to help resolve the crime and bring the perpetrator to justice.
Penny Jamison said initially, she could understand the explanation by the Tillamook County District Attorney's Office.
But in the years since, she has repeatedly asked for the release of the remains -- and was repeatedly turned down. Prosecutors told her the evidence could help prosecute the crime if a suspect or lead emerged, she said.
Two years ago, Jamison wrote President Clinton and state senators to request the release on her behalf, "so I could put to peace the remains of my daughter," she said.
But government officials deferred to the judgment of the district attorney.
Now, eight years after her daughter's death, Jamison said she has yet to feel a sense of closure. She still seeks the release of the remains "so I can get my life back together.
"I dream about her," Jamison said. "She's telling me, 'Yeah, Mom, I'm still alive.' But we know she isn't. I wake up in the middle of the night. It's real hard to get back to sleep."
Meanwhile, Jamison has purchased a headstone for Tammy at the family's plot in a cemetery near Alford.
Jamison said she has tried to give away most of Tammy's belongings, but has kept a few keepsakes -- items such as her bracelets, Bible, a poodle skirt and a black formal dress.
