John Honaker V, 31, was found dead in Portland, Oregon on the morning of August 30, 2002. A transient discovered his body around 8:50 a.m. in an open area just south of the Marquam Bridge near SW Sheridan and Moody Street. He was found bleeding on the ground and was pronounced dead shortly after authorities arrived.

An autopsy determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma. At the time he was known to be transient in the Portland area and investigators learned he may have been involved in selling marijuana. The death was treated as a homicide, but the case later grew cold: no arrests have been announced and no specific suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone who knew John Honaker V, saw activity near the Marquam Bridge area that morning, or has information about his dealings or possible witnesses is asked to contact the appropriate investigators with tips.
