Arthur Edwin Gray Jr., 62, was found bound and fatally shot in the back of the head at Twin Springs Campground about 80 miles east of Eugene, Oregon. His body was discovered on June 25, 1982, by members of a youth group. The manner of death was execution-style, with binding and a gunshot to the head.

Investigators later linked Gray’s killing to Robert Wayne Danielson, a convicted violent offender who had been paroled in 1981 after serving eleven years of a 25-year sentence for a 1970 manslaughter. Danielson reportedly encountered Gray in a Eugene park with 14-year-old Lenora Hart Johnson present; Danielson bound Gray and shot him. Danielson went on to be implicated in additional murders in several states and was eventually apprehended and convicted. Gray was born January 27, 1920, in Portland to Arthur Edward Gray Sr. and Martha Margrethe Hansen and was buried at Rest-Haven Memorial Park in Eugene.
