Few years ago 3 doors down the homeowner had a roommate that murdered him, cut him up to fit in the freezer, and wore his clothes to make people think all was normal coming and going. The house has sold since then, not certain I want to tell the new owners the story.

If the seller followed the Full Disclosure laws the new owners already know.

Knew 1 for sure, possibly another.

Oldest sister was dating a guy. His younger brother hung around some and was about 5 years older than me. Very abusive family they were trying to avoid. Younger brother was nice, road me around on his motorcycle and went fishing. Later he got a prison sentence for stealing the motorcycle he took me on. Year later he was up in Seattle (if i remember right) and took a 2x4 to his girfriends daughter and left her in a suitcase.

The 2nd I met after he got out of prison. He was appealing the case and the state mismanaged the evidence so they had to let him go. Never asked if he did it. He did say the real killers in prison were usually the nicest ones to hang out with.

He replaced the plumbing under my house and I assisted. The murders he was convicted of? Occurred under a house. They were trying to hide and the killer crawled underneath as well and shot them. It was a bit surreal helping him knowing that.

I grew up in East Oakland. I've known a few guys who got capped. I knew a few that did the capping. Not a pleasant world in those times, I'm lucky to have been able to get out alive.

I picked up a hitchhiker the other day.
He seemed like a nice guy, at first.
After a few miles, he said, "Aren't you worried I might be a serial killer?"
I just laughed and said, "What are the odds of two serial killers in the same car?"

If this was on the hill near West Salem, the real murderer was the woman who owned the property. She also probably killed her husband earlier. She was involved in drugs. She died of natural causes before any action was taken against her.

I knew a guy who got in a shouting match with her over a construction project. After the truth came out, we teased him about "dodging a bullet."

Speaking of bullets, the prosecution fell for an "expert witness" that "proved" that .22 Long Rifle bullets found in ammunition in the accused's garage "chemically matched" bullets recovered from the corpses. This "expert" had helped convict several people all over the US by this testimony. All the cases were overturned because the lead was not different between batches. The "expert" should have been sent to prison for violating the civil rights of his victims.

I've met several people that worked at Kenworth when Gary Ridgeway was there. They all said he kept to himself and was "a little creepy."

I've never known anyone that turned out to be a murderer. But I've worked with two different people whose fathers were murdered (not by the same guy) here in Washington.

Idk. Well sort of. One of my good friends in the eighth grade. You people in Oregon May have heard of him. Shawn Harris from Medford Oregon. Back around 1090 or 1991, he was convicted of the rape and murder of a 14 year old girl. He was convicted of rape and murder I guess. The prosecutor sought the death penalty. He got true life, life without parole. Apparently one juror held out. So he went to the big house in Salem.

I had come across his website. He was making blues records, recording them in prison. I didn't realize that at the time.

I dated his sister for a week. That's a long time for an 8th grader.

He was active on Facebook somehow. According to him, in a Facebook post, he got transferred to a medium security prison after two different guys, on two different days in the same weekend.tried to kill him. They knew his charges apparently. He was moved for his own safety.

His celly, while he was there, took care of a friend of mine that was in poor health, in a wheelchair. He worked in the infirmary. My friend had drunkenly shot at his wife, and was sentenced to a year in prison. When he got out he was sent to another state, and eventually wound up in a nursing home, where he died from Covid and kidney problems.

My friend from 8th grade, Shawn, always liked em young. He was held back a year, so he should have been in 9th grade. He was telling me about his girlfriend one time. He said she went to a local k through 6th. He was 21, I believe, when he committed his crime.

I remember me and uncle Bob let a hitchhiker ride in the bed of the pickup on our way to pick asparagus in Montana.
Well, Bob forgot he was there and about bucked him out here and there driving like a maniac. The guy thought we were gonna banjo him or worse.

I told this joke last night to my grandson and his friend a few hours before you posted. glad I'm not the only one to remember corny jokes!

I used to wonder how my ex-BIL survived in prison, he somehow got into a special program for vets, even though he never made it thru boot (back problems). He died in their "hospice" so I assume he got sick (it was 2021 so maybe COVID, but he was a chain smoker so maybe cancer).

Murder is going on all around us. We just don't know it aforehand.

One of my stories. I was kinda rowdy with guns in my teenage years. The police came to my house about it once. People knew about it. How could they help but with the sound of gunshots coming from my area from time to time. But it was a time when there was less sensitivity about guns, in general. My next door neighbors, Jack and Thelma knew about it but never said anything, including the bonfires that were easily seen in our backyard. After I graduated from high school, I moved out for about nine months, then joined the army. The same year, somebody sent me a newspaper article that my neighbor Thelma had been murdered in her house and police were looking for a suspect. Had I not been in the army, I might've been considered a suspect simply due to circumstances.

To make the Shawn Harris case worse, the director of the funeral home where the body of the 14 year old victim was, bubblegumed the corpse. They charged him with "Tampering with evidence". That guy lives in Washington state now. Imagine how hard that must have been on the victim's mother, finding out about that after losing her daughter the way she did.

Doesn't this belong in the "She Seems Nice..." thread?

My aunt and uncle who lived in Lake Oswego back in 80s or so had a couple next door who were murdered. It bothered my aunt so much, they moved to West Linn soon after. Weird people out there in the world to say the least.

I had used a one man appliance repair service for a number of years. On the guys last repair visit he said he was longer allowed to go into homes with small child. Then he went off on a rant about how a young girl had "seduced" him and law enforcement was now involved. Not a bit or remorse for what he had done....it was the victims fault. I was obviously speaking to the insane person living in his head. Freak show stuff.

I switched to another appliance repair service and spoke to a number of friends and property managers.

Don't know how it turned out.

Serial killer stories.

In 1969 I was a freshman at OSU. One day a few guys from the dorm decided to drive down to Eugene to spend the afternoon there. When we got to the bridge over the Long Tom River at Monroe, one of the guys in the car said, "They found a girl at the bottom of the Long Tom tied to an engine block."

Fast forward about 35 years. I was at work in Salem one day when a coworker was telling a story about his former neighbor, Jerry Brudos. Brudos was a strange dude who killed four women between 1968 and 1969. When my coworker was a teen, Brudos would let him work on his car in Brudos' garage. On one occasion, my coworker swapped out the engine in his old chevy. He concluded his story by saying , "He tied one of his victims to my old engine block and dumped her in the Long Tom River."

Jerry Brudos - Wikipedia

After a hiatus of a couple years, I returned to OSU to complete my undergraduate education, and was there in 1974 when Ted Bundy snatched his one victim from the OSU campus, Roberta Parks. Of course, at the time nobody knew who Ted Bundy was, but her disappearance caused quite a stir in the community. As I recall it took quite a while to link her disappearance to Bundy, and all that was known was that she was last seen getting in a yellow VW with a guy named Ted.

In the 80s and early 90s I worked in a commercial photo lab in San Diego. One professional customer was named Larry Hoagland; one of the counter girls was named Connie Smith. Connie was petite and cute with an "all-over-tan" (no, I don't have pictures). She and Larry dated and then married.

Larry Hoagland

A year ago this month he was denied parole.
