Karl Everett Kneedler, a Caucasian man, was found shot to death on April 10, 1999, on the floor of his makeshift apartment at 2228 NE Alberta Street in Portland. That building also housed the Brothers Free Motorcycle Club clubhouse and a motorcycle repair shop. A part-owner of the building, Walter Holland, discovered Kneedler’s body.

A week earlier Kneedler had reported the death of a woman, Laurie Larson, who was found unresponsive in his apartment and later ruled to have died of a drug overdose. Kneedler was last seen alive in the early evening of April 9, 1999, in the company of a man known only as John, an individual investigators have not identified and who they consider important to the case. No arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information about Karl, Laurie, or the man known as John is asked to come forward.
