Phillip E. Pierce, 37, was found dead inside a house on Southeast Sun Crest Drive in Portland’s Lents neighborhood on January 26, 2024. Police located him around 9 a.m. after a missing persons report led officers to the residence. The Portland Police Bureau concluded Pierce’s death was a homicide.

Shortly after the discovery, investigators identified his wife, Analiesa Golde, as a person of interest and launched a search that expanded into southwest Washington. Authorities warned she should be considered armed and dangerous and said she was last seen driving a burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with Oregon plates 501 HSB. Crime Stoppers offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to her arrest.

On February 21, 2024, police announced Analiesa Golde had been found deceased in the Long Beach, Washington area, and her death was ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The search for Golde ended but the investigation into Pierce’s homicide remained ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detectives Brad Clifton or Calvin Goldring.

Did anyone in the Lents or Long Beach areas see the 4Runner or have other information that could help investigators?
