Murder in Oregon: Notorious Crime Sites (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798715415400)

Murder in Oregon: Notorious Crime Sites is a visual return to 75 infamous murder scenes profiling the shocking and detailed narratives behind each tragedy.

Many of the narratives defy believability, yet they are true. Long after the screaming headlines and sensationalism has subsided, these bizarre, infamous and obscure murder sites and stories remain buried awaiting rediscovery.
