Terrence Demildenhall was 22 when he was found shot to death in his sleeping bag along the seawall in Waterfront Park, just north of the Morrison Bridge in Portland, Oregon. He had been last seen around 12:30 a.m. sleeping in that same location on September 2, 1986. His murder remains unsolved.

Investigators note a disturbing similarity to another killing: on February 27, 1987, 36-year-old Fred Edgi was shot while sleeping under the Burnside Bridge, less than half a mile from where Demildenhall was killed. Both victims were transients who struggled with alcohol and appear to have been targeted while sleeping, leading police to suspect a possible link between the two cases.

No arrests have been announced. The Portland Police Cold Case Unit and Crime Stoppers continue to seek information and offer a reward for tips that lead to an arrest. Did anyone see either man in downtown Portland on the nights before their deaths or notice suspicious activity along the riverfront?
