A welfare check just after 1:20 a.m. on January 6, 2021, at a Norway Avenue NE residence in Salem, Oregon, led firefighters to find 32-year-old Amanda Marie Mankins with a gunshot wound. She was taken to Salem Health but died later that day. The Salem Police Department opened a homicide investigation into her death.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Matthew Hansen as a suspect and said he had been in a domestic relationship with Mankins. Hansen was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. Court records show he later pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, admitting he recklessly caused Mankins’ death with extreme indifference to human life; in that plea, additional weapon and oxycodone charges were dismissed and the sentence was 20 years in prison with three years of post-prison supervision.

Are there details about Amanda’s life in Salem or about the Norway Avenue neighborhood that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
