Police seek tips about Oregon Coast cold cases
Dec. 2, 2018
"To the police and prosecutors who tracked him, Ackroyd is a confirmed serial killer.
But how many others might Ackroyd have found and harmed along his route?
Authorities point to the remains or clothes of five other people found in the 1970s in the isolated wilderness not far from Highway 20 — and all in Linn County, where Ackroyd grew up.
1976: The skull of one unidentified woman was found a mile off Highway 20, on Swamp Mountain.
1977: The remains of Elizabeth Mussler, 22, of Lebanon, were discovered in a shallow grave in the Thistle Creek area of Green Peter Reservoir.
1977: Friends Karen Lee, 15, and Rodney Grissom, 14, made their final phone call from Lebanon. Their bodies were never found, but Karen’s jeans, pages of her journal and the blouse she had sewn for a school project were found off a logging road in the Upper Soda Fork area of Linn County. Five years later, some of Grissom’s clothing and possessions were found not far from where Lee’s things had been located.
1978: The skull of another unidentified woman was found by a logging crew in the woods a quarter-mile south of the highway near Snow Creek.
No evidence linked Ackroyd to any of these other deaths, but the cases remain open. Their timing and proximity to Highway 20 prompted investigators to wonder if the mechanic had a hand in them.
If you have information about Ackroyd or the disappearances, call the Linn County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 866-557-9988."
