On a September afternoon in 1973, two young African-American women were found beaten to death inside a rented house at 527 N. Ivy Street in Portland, Oregon. Gwendolyn Fulce, 21, a beauty college student with no criminal record, was discovered in the living room; her friend Delores Thompson, 24, was found in a bedroom. Delores’s partner, Roy Lee Jernigan, discovered the scene when he came to pick up his two-and-a-half-year-old son, who was miraculously unharmed in the home.

Investigators conducted numerous interviews but never publicly identified a suspect or announced an arrest. The Portland Police Bureau’s Cold Case Homicide Unit has revisited the double murder, which remains unsolved. The families and Delores’s son have lived with unanswered questions for decades.

Does anyone have memories or information about 527 N. Ivy Street or the women that could help this investigation?
