DENVER -- One day after the incredible release of a wrongly convicted man, he tried to get back to living outside of a jail cell for the first time in nearly a decade.

Tim Masters, 36, is free until a Feb. 5 court date when Larimer County District Attorney Larry Abrahamson will decide whether to drop murder charges against Masters or pursue them again in court.

On Thursday, members of his victorious defense team will try to get key pieces of identification back from Ft. Collins police, including his Social Security card, birth certificate, and his Bible. A member of that team told 7NEWS that Masters needs those items in order to apply for a driver's license.

His first full day of freedom was spent shopping for clothes to replace the prison uniform he's been wearing since his 1999 conviction for the murder of Peggy Hettrick. Masters also went to see a tailor to make a new set of clothes, purchased for him by his attorneys, fit better.

Two different investigations are under way now to see if criminal charges are warranted for police detectives and prosecutors who are accused of official misconduct regarding the bogus conviction.

Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck is looking at allegations that police perjured themselves and used illegal wiretaps to send Masters away.

Fort Collins police are also reviewing the way its officers, including Lt. Jim Broderick, handled the controversial case.

Late Wednesday, police issued this statement:

"Fort Collins Police Services is keenly aware that the Timothy Masters case is of great concern to the public and that many questions remain surrounding the present status of the investigation into the murder of Peggy Hettrick and the prosecution of Timothy Masters. Fort Collins Police Services supports the judicial system and acknowledges that this case is an extremely important and sensitive matter."
"It is critically important that the criminal justice system and the investigative arm of Fort Collins Police Services operate with the utmost integrity," said Chief of Police Dennis V. Harrison.
"The City of Fort Collins has an outstanding police department that works tirelessly to protect the resident of this City," said City Manager Darin Atteberry. They take their responsibilities very seriously and do not ignore or take lightly any concerns that surface during in the course of an investigation, he added.
According to Harrison, the Masters matters will be "thoroughly and objectively investigated" with due regards for the rights of everyone involved. There are many questions that surround how the agency will proceed with the investigation, including who will be involved, that are presently being discussed. Once these decisions have been made and agreed upon, they will be shared. In the meantime, Harrison cautioned everyone to not rush to judgment about what has occurred in this or any other case.
"This case has been and continues to be about justice for Peggy Hettrick and all involved," Harrison added.

Also Wednesday, a member of the Hettick family, John Hettrick, refused an interview request but did say he wished "nothing but the best" for Tim Masters and the exended Masters family.
