Good article. Throughout my years in Lane County, I've tried to follow a growing list of unsolved homicides in the area, and that list grows longer. The public may not even be aware of the tragedies that never found justice. 
I may not remember all of the news reports very well, but as an interested person, I've tried to keep up with investigations. Back in the 70's there were two cases that were never solved to my knowledge.  1)A child murder at a grade lawn around the Fairfield area. 2) A retired couple, murdered in the camp above Oakridge, while picking cones. 3) The Hwy. 99 DairyMart clerk (maybe in the 1980's) who was abducted from her nightshift. There's others.
Any follow-up on these old cases would be appreciated, as in fact the follow-up of all community matters could be improved by all local news services. FOLLOW THROUGH. If you're taking requests, I would like to ask these detectives, or any law enforcement, where those cases are, and any forensic details.
