COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) — An Idaho woman has posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the death of her son four years ago in Oregon.
The World newspaper in Coos Bay reported that Debbie Peters of Meridian, Idaho, had read about budget cuts in Oregon and was worried the case could be set aside.
Her 27-year-old son, Jonathan Peters, was visiting the Coos Bay area from Eureka, Calif., in January 2006 to help out a friend.
He disappeared shortly after arriving, and his body was found nearby in July 2006 in a densely wooded area. Police said Jonathan Peters died from multiple sharp-force injuries resulting from homicidal violence.
