Albert Howard Carey was 80 when intruders entered his Oak Street home in Albany during the night of March 20, 1982. Reports say the break-in ended in Carey’s death; some accounts describe him found bound with furniture piled over his body. Investigators treated the scene as a robbery that went wrong and opened the case under file number 82-0959, canvassing neighbors and following leads that ultimately produced no suspect.

No arrests were ever announced and police profiles have not identified a person of interest. Carey was described as reclusive with few close friends and was buried at Willamette Memorial Park in Albany. The investigation remains open and unsolved.

If anyone remembers rumors, a confession, or an unexplained windfall from that weekend in 1982, please come forward with information.
