2 Found Dead in remote shooting spot near Estacada

[gmerkt]

Brass pickers. Maybe they were poaching some shooter's brass behind his back, he caught them and went ballistic. It isn't impossible but unlikely. However, I've had people at NRA High Power Service Rifle matches poach my brass while I was down range pulling a target. I've never heard of people getting in fights over brass picking territorial rights but I suppose it's happened. "Hey, I come here all the time. This is my place." Anything you can think of involving human behavior has probably already happened at least once.

What if the Silver Surfer and the Hulk in the heat of battle crashed through you living room?

That's just silly. Everyone knows the Hulk could beat Silver Surfer easily.

But it still ruins the paint job in the living room and I figured if we're going with "What ifs" may as well go all the way.

 

[titsonritz]

And on that note...adios...

You mean, like the Kool-Aid guy?

Looks like Squaw Mountain. I used to live up near there. Bigfoot lives up there too

Bigfoot?

I know it's not nice to judge a book by it's cover or speak ill of the dead but...
-Judging by the the photos, grandma and grandpa aren't exactly into clean livin'.
-Noticed the sister didn't have any positive comments about grandpa.
-Picking up brass to recycle to buy a gift? Really?

I'm having a hard time coming to the conclusion that they were random victims of a thrill kill. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong though. Hope the mystery gets solved so the family can get closure.

That sounds like what I thought, but more delicately put...

Of course, if it was a "thrill kill" they might be the type such a person would target. Sort of like how some target homeless people to assault...

Hopefully they catch the killer(s) sooner.

I almost suspect her sister...

I guess anything is possible.

 

[Heyjoe]

This whole thing is kinda methy.

Whether they were tweakers or not, I think at this point the Sheriff needs to tell us why they say that the public is not at risk and that people should come out and enjoy the county. Some people were shot in the woods. Why is the public not at risk? It appears there is a killer or killers on the loose.

 

[Olderguy]

I think there are some very perceptive people on this forum. Heyjoe expressed what my thoughts are about this story.

 

[titsonritz]

It appears there is a killer or killers on the loose.

Tons of them I'd imagine.

Scrapping brass?!
How many casings would you need to buy a gift?
Like 10s of thousands?

It's all ignorant speculation, but I'm going for they did something really dumb and tried to rob someone out shooting and they got the justice end.

That would explain "no threat to the public" and "person at large"

This whole family reeks of meth.

Didn't I suggest some sort of drug deal gone wrong a while back and someone told me poor people can't be into drugs?
