On August 6, 2008 at 12:21 pm Gresham Police were dispatched to 836 NE 3rd. Upon arrival we found 27 year old ANTHONY COOPER and 22 year old MELINDA KOTKINS dead. On March 6, 2009, after an extensive investigation, JAMES TOOLEY was arrested and charged with Murder.
Recently, Gresham Detectives have received information from a reliable source regarding the location of the possible murder weapon. On March 6, 2010 between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm Gresham Detectives will be searching the Barview Jetty Campground just North of Garibaldi on the Oregon Coast. We will be using state of the art equipment never used before provided by Structural Radar Inc. They are volunteering their time and ground penetrating radar in an attempt to locate this piece of evidence.
Representatives from Structural Radar & Detective Jason Servo will be at the Media's disposal between the above hours. They will be in and around tent spot "O" for contact.
