Maynard Francis Grossbach, 53, was found shot to death in his white 1969 Ford van parked outside 844 Jefferson Street in Eugene on November 30, 1970. Known as Manny and the owner of two local bar and grill establishments, Grossbach was discovered after what investigators determined was a violent encounter; he had been shot multiple times.

The fatal interval is believed to be between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. that afternoon. His wallet and the day’s bar receipts were missing from the van, and robbery appeared to be the apparent motive. Despite an investigation by the Eugene Police Department, no arrests were made and no suspects have been publicly identified.

The case remains open. If anyone knew Manny, saw the van that day, or has information that could help, please come forward.
