MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — Medford police are getting ready for a second trial of a suspect in a 2006 stabbing by searching downtown rooftops for the murder weapon.
The police say they’ve been frustrated for years because they can’t find a 5-inch-long, multicolored knife with the words “Viva Mexico” on it.
The Medford Mail Tribune says detectives climbed up the ladder on a search and rescue truck Wednesday take another look but didn’t find it.
In 2007, a jury found 25-year-old Luis Alberto Salas-Juarez guilty of killing 23-year-old Mark Lunsford of Butte Falls.
