Eyewitness News has learned Marra allegedly used associates to reach out to Comer, explaining she was encouraged by former West Virginia State Police leadership to fabricate the accusations which led to criminal charges and a Domestic Violence Protection Order.
Upon hearing of Marra's confession, Comer's attorney contacted the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security. State Police investigators questioned Marra and sources told Eyewitness News she admitted to those investigators the allegations were false.
