PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The youngest victim of what authorities describe as a Northwest crime spree that left three people dead is being remembered by his family as polite, helpful and passionate about his music.
Nineteen-year-old Cody Myers, of Lafayette, was found shot in the head and chest Tuesday in woods near Corvallis, three days after he left home to attend a music festival. Police say he somehow crossed paths with fugitives David Joseph Petersen and Holly Ann Grigsby.
The couple were arrested in California driving Myers’ car. They’re suspected in the deaths of Petersen’s stepmother and of a man believed to be his father.
Myers’ sister, Brittany Klein, tells The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/ozrhZ1 ) her brother would greet her as soon as she pulled into the driveway and offer to carry her jacket. He also tutored his brother in math and helped his mother pay the bills.
