On the morning of January 19, 1999, a neighbor walking along Southeast Taylor Street in Portland found a canvas bag in the driveway of a vacant house that had not been there the day before. Police who responded discovered the body of 24-year-old Veronica Sue James inside. An autopsy determined she died of traumatic head injuries.

Veronica was reportedly last seen the morning of January 18 near Southeast 82nd Avenue and Stark Street. A lounge employee near where she was last seen later said they remembered seeing a woman believed to be Veronica who looked frightened, as if being chased or threatened, the day before her body was found.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly named. Does anyone who knew Veronica or who was in that area on January 18, 1999 have information that could help investigators?
