A 40‑year-old murder shouldn’t be easier to forget than to solve. Dana DuMars’ case in La Grande stalled just as new leads emerged, all because funding vanished. This is why cold case work matters: justice shouldn’t hinge on budgets. Families deserve answers. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Today is the day, 47 years ago, that Finley Creek Jane Doe was found hidden in the woods. She was a young mother-to-be whose earthly remains were thrown away. 💜💜💜

It's called Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Era of Serial Killers by Caroline Fraser. I'm reading it now, and while she doesn't mention a specific environmental influence in Lewiston, she briefly calls out the LC Valley SK.

Pretty sure it was both! In Patty Otto's case, it was the husband.

We've heard the stories of lost people being found when others "stumbled upon" something strange outdoors. FCJD wasn't even recovered entirely, & we are hoping with a little help that will change. #bringthemhome #seesomethingsaysomething #missing #unidentified #coldcase #oregon #pnw #truecrime

As folks venture into the woods around Oregon's Grande Ronde Valley, look out for anything suspicious. Leona's daughter is still looking for her. Rumors/local lore say she wasn't taken far from La Grande. 🧡 #unsolved #missing #MissingPerson #pnw #coldcase #seesomethingsaysomething #LeonaKinsey

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist
