Documents from a five-month investigation of Steve Krentel, the former chief of St. Tammany Fire Protection District No. 12, have been turned over to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office, which issued a warrant for the more than 4,000 pages last month.
Krentel's wife, Nanette Krentel, was found dead of a gunshot wound in the couple's burned-down home nearly a year ago. Her murder remains unsolved, but Sheriff Randy Smith has publicly cleared Steve Krentel as a suspect.
The search warrant was cited in a letter from Troy Ingram, the Covington-area fire district's attorney, to Tom Williamson, a firefighter who has been a vocal critic of Krentel.
