Juan Lopez Ramirez was found dead beneath the Broadway Bridge onramp in Portland on October 9, 1988. Two friends, walking near Northwest 9th and Johnson, followed a foul odor to a thicket of blackberry bushes and discovered his body rolled up in a carpet and hidden under wooden pallets. Investigators determined he had been murdered weeks before the discovery.

Ramirez was 33 and described as a transient who used heroin; the location where his body was found was then known as a place frequented by transients and drug users. The neighborhood has since been redeveloped and the old sites demolished, but the case remains open with the Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Homicide Unit. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in case #88-103516.

Did anyone who lived near Northwest 9th and Johnson in 1988 or who knew Juan Ramirez see or hear anything that could help investigators?
