Dear Klamath County Citizens:

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you I intend to step down from my position as Klamath County District Attorney.   My health requires it.  My husband adamantly agrees with the need.   We do want to be able to live long and healthy autumn years.

I have enjoyed serving the citizens of Klamath County and appreciated all my interactions with those of you from many walks of life.   I know that our criminal justice system will continue with assistance from the Department of Justice until my replacement is located.

My last day is October 31, 2022.

Sincerely,
Eve Costello
Klamath County District Attorney
