Emery Wade Connor, a 42-year-old mechanical engineer with eight years at BNSF, was shot and killed at the BNSF yard in Klamath Falls, Oregon, on April 17, 2014. The case grew out of a workplace conflict involving a former coworker.

Authorities quickly identified and arrested James Harold Forshee II, a 58-year-old former BNSF employee, who was charged with Connor’s murder. The case went to trial; after a week of testimony the jury deliberated two hours and returned a guilty verdict. On November 13, 2017, Forshee was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

The killing ended the life of an experienced railroad engineer and prompted a criminal prosecution that resulted in a life sentence. Does anyone have information about Connor’s work at the Klamath Falls yard or the events leading up to April 17, 2014?
