On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1980, Darcey Renee Fix, 22, and her guest Douglas Keith Altig, 24, were found shot to death at Fix’s north Portland home in what appeared to be an execution-style killing. Both victims had been bound and were killed with a .32 caliber revolver; the weapon was reported missing from the scene.

Randall Woodfield, who had known Fix through a mutual acquaintance from college, has been linked in reporting to a string of violent crimes in the Portland area and along the I-5 corridor during 1980–81. Investigators questioned him about the Fix and Altig killings; his evasive answers raised suspicion, though early testing reportedly did not match his blood type to semen from other scenes. Woodfield was arrested in March 1981 and later convicted in multiple cases, receiving life plus additional years, and has since been tied to numerous other murders and sexual assaults by investigators.

The Fix and Altig killings remain among the violent incidents associated with Woodfield’s spree. If anyone knew Darcey or Douglas, or has information about that November 1980 crime, please come forward.
