Nondace Kae Cervantes, 26, of Tempe, Arizona, also known as Noni Austin, was identified as one of seven women whose bodies were found in a wooded area near the Molalla River in Oregon in summer 1987. Her remains were located on a remote hillside about 35 miles southeast of Portland and were identified through fingerprints and dental records. The victims were in varying states of decomposition; many showed injuries consistent with stabbing and possible strangulation, and several had been mutilated, with some feet severed. Coroner reports said many injuries were inflicted while victims were still alive.

Investigators formed the Molalla Forest Task Force to probe the killings. Authorities linked 33-year-old Dayton Leroy Rogers to the scene, reporting blood and DNA in his truck that matched several victims, including Cervantes. Rogers was arrested in August 1987 in connection with a separate Portland-area murder and was later convicted of multiple counts of aggravated murder and sentenced to death. Did anyone who knew Nondace or her movements in the Portland area that summer ever come forward with tips?
