NAACP calls for continued investigation of hate mail

SPOKANE — The newly appointed president of the NAACP said Friday that the local chapter is still interested in finding out who mailed the threatening letters to the organization, but police say they have exhausted all leads.

Naima Quarles-Burnley, who announced during a press conference in Spokane on Friday that she is now the Spokane chapter president, said police were investigating three mailings that occurred between February and May of this year. The Spokesman Review reported on Friday that the NAACP received another letter, dated June 15, which they suspect came from the same person.
