Roger Pierce, a 58-year-old Caucasian man, was found dead inside his home in the 2700 block of NW Marshal Street in Portland on the morning of August 1, 1980. A friend who could not reach him by phone went to check on him, found the front door open, entered, and discovered Pierce deceased on the floor. Portland police determined he had been the victim of homicidal violence.

Acquaintances described Pierce as quiet, a loner and a heavy drinker. He was separated from his wife at the time. The last confirmed sighting was the evening of July 30, 1980, at the Nobbie Tavern near NW 23rd and Lovejoy. No arrests have been made and police have not publicly identified any suspects; the case remains an unsolved cold case.

Does anyone have information about Pierce’s movements in late July 1980 or recall seeing him at the Nobbie Tavern that night?
