Cold Case Unit

In every community someone yearns for resolution and closure of society's most heinous crime - the unlawful taking of a human life. Oregon has no statute of limitations for murder or manslaughter, and each of the cases featured on this website represent a victim and his or her family, friends, and neighbors who have not forgotten. We have not forgotten either.

The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Homicide Team will utilize the most advanced techniques to analyze previously collected evidence; however, one aspect of a successful investigation remains unchanged, and that is the involvement of the public in solving these cases. Information that by itself may seem insignificant could prove to be the missing element crucial to resolving an open case. Although information may be submitted anonymously, contact information will allow us to ask follow-up questions as the investigation develops. Thank you for your interest and participation in this important endeavor.
