Very true, on both counts.

The first few I would have been 10 or 11 by 1992 I had moved to Washington sate so I'm sure it was not blip on the news up here.

I grew up in Salem and our family had a vacation place near Sunriver...we traveled Hwy 20 most weekends in the 70s-90s. Never heard of this before...

It is amazing how little publicity was given...final installment on the Oregonian's website tomorrow. I'll tune in.

Lived in Eugene for several years and skied every season at Mt Bachelor. Drove Santiam pass dozens of times in all conditions. Totaled my V6 Euro Capri on black ice playing pool with the guard rails smacking three corners out of four. Didn’t make it to Bachelor that time or run into any serial killers, but there was this hot chick in Salem....

Just finished the series...thx for the tip! Passed it on to my daughter and niece...they are into serial killer podcasts SmileWavy

Just finished this - very well done.... I suspect there are more victims out there. Ones where no one spoke up for them at all. Hidden or scattered in wild places...

agreed!

Yep. People like this don't take a break for 10 years.

A hunting tale from the area...way up canyon creek. Still shooting daylight, I walking a cat trail. Spotted a nice 4 point blacktail across the canyon. Had to be 350-400 yards. Buck fever, I held high, squeezed off a round. He went down. So, down into the canyon, found our way across the creek. Took a couple of hours to reach the deer. By then it was dark. So David field dressed the deer while I held the flashlight. We propped open the body cavity to cool. Decided it was too hazardous for us to try to pack the deer out by flashlight. This is really steep country. We were hunting an old logging show David's brother worked. Show was named "spit falls". No real water fall there...nope, so named because when you spit, it would fall.

Bright and early the next day we returned with packboards, knives, folding saw, etc. All we found were a few bones and bits of fur. The head with my tag tied to it's antlers, gone. We searched around the area...nope gone. My tag for the year was sacrificed feeding critters.

Coyotes are thick on the west slopes of the Cascades.

Point being...not many human remains are found in that area.

I'm as sure as can be that John Ackroyd had more than the victims mentioned in this piece. How many? We'll never know....
