Nick Major Law

Lawsuit Filed Against Cowlitz County Coroner

Nick Major Law has filed a lawsuit in Cowlitz County Superior Court on behalf of Vanessa Barker, a Longview mother who was tragically given the wrong remains following the death of her infant daughter, Khalisee Crabill, in 2022.

The suit alleges gross negligence by the Cowlitz County Coroner’s Office during the tenure of former coroner Tim Davidson, with the error only coming to light after Dana Tucker assumed office in 2023.

“Failing to give the plaintiff the correct baby is so outrageous that it goes beyond all possible bounds of decency,” the complaint states.

The case also highlights the devastating emotional toll on the family.
