TAMPA - Marlene and Steven Aisenberg, whose infant daughter Sabrina vanished in 1997, are dropping their civil lawsuit against investigators, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s spokesperson Debbie Carter says the Aisenbergs filed a “notice of voluntary dismissal” today.
The couple had sued the sheriff’s office over its prosecution for lying to investigators. They had sought millions of dollars in damages.
A call seeking a comment from Barry Cohen, the Aisenberg’s Attorney, was not immediately returned.
The sheriff’s office issued a one sentence statement.
“While we are pleased with the dismissal of the lawsuit, which has served as a distraction in this case, our focus always has been and remains on finding out what happened to Sabrina Aisenberg,” Carter said.
Feederal charges against the couple were dismissed, and the federal government was ordered to reimburse the Aisenbergs $1.5 million in legal fees after judges ruled that prosecutors and investigators had lied about evidence in the case.
Sabrina has never been located.
