There are some new developments in the case of 20 year old Brandon Ellingson who drowned at the Lake nearly 2 years ago while in the custody of the Highway Patrol’s Water Patrol Division. Ellingson’s father, Craig Ellingson was in Cole County Circuit Court on Monday (29) attempting to find out more details about his son’s death. Ellingson has filed a lawsuit against the custodian of records for the Highway Patrol, claiming a breach of Missouri’s sunshine law. The suit alleges the Patrol has withheld findings from the investigation into Ellingon’s death.
