Anthony Tony White Jr. was 21 when his body was found on the side of Old Highway 30 in the rural Svensen area east of Astoria, Oregon, in the early hours of April 9, 2005. A passing motorist discovered him around 1:12 a.m.; investigators concluded he had been walking home from a friend’s house and was struck and killed by a vehicle that fled the scene.

Scene evidence and the autopsy indicated the striking vehicle was likely a passenger car or a small truck with damage to its front or side. A witness described a dark-colored small pickup with a roll bar and a toolbox in the bed in the area near the time of the collision; detectives sought that vehicle and its driver but no arrests were ever made and the case remains unsolved. White lived in Knappa, graduated from Knappa High School in 2001, was a member of the Oregon National Guard and was engaged, preparing for deployment to Afghanistan.

A small memorial stands on Old Highway 30 and the family has offered a reward for information that leads to arrest and conviction. Does anyone who lived in the Svensen or Knappa area in April 2005 remember seeing a dark pickup matching that description?
