On the morning of May 8, 1979, the manager of an apartment building at 620 NE Brazee in Portland, Oregon, entered the unit of 64-year-old Daisy W. Motley with a passkey after an anonymous caller reported a disturbance. Inside, Motley was found murdered and investigators determined she had been sexually assaulted. The last known contact with her was a telephone call to her daughter about 9 p.m. on May 7, 1979.

There were no signs of forced entry or robbery, which led detectives to conclude the assailant was likely someone she knew and had allowed into her home. No arrests were made, no definitive suspects have been publicly identified, and the anonymous caller was never identified. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Daisy, her routines, or has information about that anonymous call or who might have been with her on May 7, please come forward.
