Lawauna Triplet, a 29-year-old Black woman, was last seen in the early morning hours of June 15, 1993, walking along Northeast Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon. Her body was later found that day near the intersection of North Going Street and North Concord, by a pedestrian overpass. Investigators determined the body had been left there in an attempt to hide it. The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s autopsy concluded she died from a combination of abdominal injuries and strangulation, and authorities reported she was a victim of sex trafficking.

For years the case remained cold until a superseding indictment in May 2019 named Homer Lee Jackson as a suspect in Triplet’s killing, filed as part of a broader investigation into several unsolved murders in the Portland area. Jackson had previously been indicted in 2015 in connection with other homicide investigations.

Did anyone who knew Lawauna, her routines, or who was in northeast Portland on June 15, 1993, see or hear anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
