Bonus: Unsolved Murders in Oregon

Bonus: Unsolved Murders in Oregon

In this episode, we hope to shed light on some missing unsolved murder cases from Oregon. We begin with the 1992 murders of Sharri Presswood and two of her children – 4-year-old Heather Wixon and 2-year-old Jeffery Wixon. We then discuss three seemingly random murders – the 2011 murder of David Grubbs in Ashland, Oregon, the 2016 murder of Luccas McNeill in Portland, Oregon and the 2021 murder of Travis Juetten in Silverton, Oregon. We wrap up by discussing the possibility of a serial killer operating in and around Portland, Oregon during the winter and spring of 2023.
