PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police in Oregon have identified a suspect in the death of a Portland woman 48 years ago.
The Portland Police Bureau announced Tuesday they are seeking a man for the 1963 death of Mary Frances Reid, who was 22 years old when she was killed.
A cold case unit assisted by retired investigators who volunteer their time is asking the public for help locating Johnny Lawrence, who was 42 when the victim was killed in Portland.
Police say they don’t know if Lawrence is still alive, but they want to find him either way. Lawrence would be about 90 now, is black, and was five-foot-seven and weighed 150 pounds in the early 1960s.
The number for the Portland cold case unit is (503) 823-9748 or (503) 823-0867.
