Carlin said she and Weinberg had no specific expectations about what they would hear at the briefing.
"They are holding three people in custody right now," she said. "And we are hopeful that those are the right three people."
Carlin said KU officials had dealt with representatives at the U.S. and Costa Rican embassies, but this was the first time KU officials had talked to anyone from the Organization of Judicial Investigation.
Police in Costa Rica have two men and one woman in custody. Katia Venessa Cruz Murillo was arrested six months after Martin's death and remains in custody. Rafael Zumbado and Luis Alberto Castro were arrested in
July 2002. Zumbado was released on insufficient evidence in December but was booked into jail again Feb. 3 in connection with another death. Castro was also cleared but remains in custody for a drug-smuggling case.
The three suspects will be tried in about six weeks, according to the Lawrence Journal-World, but an exact trial date has not been set.

sophomore, chooses to eat organic because it is a healthy lifestyle choice, she said. She likes knowing that the food is not tainted by pesticides and sludge, she said.
Like Paden, Ruggles also buys organic to support local farming, she said.
Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa St., is one of the stores in Lawrence where certified organic foods can be found.
The store sees many college students, said Nancy O'Connor, representative for the Community Mercantile. But she doesn't think the rise in popularity will decrease.
"I definitely don't think it's a trend," she said. "If it is, it's permanent."
Students can also purchase organic food products at Checkers Foods, 2300 Louisiana St., both Hy-Vee Food Store locations, 4000 W. Sixth St. and 3504 Clinton Parkway, and all Lawrence Dillons locations, 4701 W. Sixth St., 1740 Massachusetts St., 3000 W. Sixth St. and 1015 W. 23rd St.

Approximately 2,100 soldiers including the remainder of the
