    Loni Kai Okaruru: Washington County's Unsolved Hate Crime

    In honor of Pride Month, we're resharing this very important unsolved murder. 🌈  We'll see you next Thursday! Loni Kai was a vibrant, friendly, well-liked young woman. She has also graced the 5 of Hearts in a cold case deck of cards. Loni was born Lorenzo Okoruru in the Mariana islands, but by 2001 she was living in the Hillsboro/Aloha area of Oregon with some of her extended family that lovingly supported her whole heartedly. This one hits close to home, quite literally. On August 26th as she tried to make her way home in the early morning hours after a fun night out on the town the unthinkable would happen. Across the country, tragedy would strike again just a few days later and though she’s not been forgotten by those that loved her, Loni’s case made very little progress. All these years later Loni’s family still have no answers and have yet to see justice done for the heinous crime.  We may not have solved the case but we have to believe that it’s never too late. If you have any information about this case, please reach out to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at (503) 846-2500 or call Crime Stoppers Oregon (503) 823-4357. In loving memory of Kate Wallinga, the host of Ignorance was Bliss. We were so lucky to have her unique perspective as a forensic psychologist.  Visit our website!

    Deborah "Debe" Atrops: If Anything Happens to Me | Beaverton, Oregon

    In November 1988, Deborah "Debe" Atrops left a hair appointment in Tigard, Oregon and never came home. When she was found — what investigators discovered would haunt Washington County for decades. Debe was 30 years old. She was a mother to an eight-month-old daughter. She had told a friend: "If anything happens to me, Bob did it." It would take decades, a new cold case unit, and a trial that raised as many questions as it answered to bring this case into a courtroom. But the Washington County Sheriff's Office still lists her case as unsolved on their website. The conviction is under appeal. And the forensic evidence at the center of the trial has left observers, legal experts, and at least one investigative reporter wondering whether Washington County may find itself litigating this case again. Whether justice was served is something you'll have to decide for yourself. Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more!

    Logan Schiendelman - I Hope to Survive This Week | Tumwater, WA

    On May 20, 2016, multiple 911 calls reported a black Chrysler Sebring drifting across multiple lanes of Interstate 5 south of Tumwater, Washington — with no one at the wheel. When authorities searched the car, they found a wallet, phone, keys, cash, and curiously a bag of snacks still sitting upright in the center console. What they didn't find was 19-year-old Logan Schiendelman. Ten years later, no one knows what happened to him. The week he disappeared, Logan sent a text to a young woman he'd met on a dating app. It read: "I hope to survive this week." Those six haunting words are as unexplained as the disappearance that followed. In this episode we cover over ten years of questions in one of Thurston County's most baffling unsolved disappearances - a young man navigating identity, a cryptic message in the days prior, and a mystery that has never been resolved. The community gathered just this month to mark a decade without answers - but not without hope.  If you have information about Logan's disappearance, contact the Thurston County Sheriff's Office at 360-786-5500. A $15,000 reward is available for information leading to his recovery. Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more!

Along with eerie legends of a phantom lighthouse keeper and unexplained hauntings at Yaquina Head Lighthouse.

    Nancy Moyer: Two Wine Glasses on the Table | Tenino, WA

    On the evening of March 6, 2009, Nancy Moyer stopped at a grocery store in Tenino, Washington, paid by check, and drove home.  After that night, she was never seen again. She left behind her purse, her keys, her car, and two wine glasses on the coffee table.   When Bill, her husband from whom she had separated, brought their daughters back two days later, he found the front door ajar, the lights still on – and no Nancy.  Her purse was inside.  Her keys were inside.  Her car was in the driveway.  She was not the kind of woman who walked away. This episode details the sixteen-year search for answers in one of Thurston County’s most haunting cold cases — a case with two persons of interest, a decade of dead ends, a 911 confession that was taken back the next day, and a mother of two who has never been found.
