DETROIT (AP) — Thirty-six text messages from city-issued pagers may be made available to an attorney representing the family of slain Detroit exotic dancer Tamara Greene.

The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press report an order was issued Monday in federal court clearing the messages first for review by city lawyers then by attorney Norman Yatooma.

Greene's family is suing the city, ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and other officials. Yatooma claims they stifled a police investigation into her 2003 shooting death. The 27-year-old Greene is rumored to have danced at a never-proven wild party at the mayor's official Manoogian Mansion residence a few months before she was killed.

A city, state and federal task force is reviewing Greene's slaying.
