Francis “Pat” Gregory of Massachusetts was found dead of a gunshot wound near a trail head parking lot in the Sacramento River Bend Outstanding Natural Area on Friday afternoon, May 16, 2014. A companion who was hiking with him was wounded.
Tehama County Sheriff’s Office said that at about 10 am, Gregory and a 76-year-old male friend from Manton were walking on the Iron Canyon Trail off Highway 36E, north of Red Bluff and in Tehama County.
According to the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office:
While walking on the trail between 11:30 am and noon, they encountered a white male adult who is described as approximately 6 feet tall, thin build and with short black hair and a black mustache/ beard and wearing dark colored denim pants and a dark or black tee-shirt with unknown design on the front of the shirt.
The suspect produced a firearm and demanded money and personal effects from the victims. After the robbery was completed, the suspect then shot the victims, and left them in the remote area about 100 yards from the trailhead. An uninvolved hiker came upon the two victims approximately three hours after the shooting. Francis Gregory died at the scene from his injuries. The other male victim was suffering from gunshot wounds. The citizen hiked to the trailhead and notified emergency services.
**There have been no arrests in this case for nearly 10 years. Looking for help where I can to find answers.
