On Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1980, Douglas Keith Doug Altig, a 24-year-old student at Southern Oregon State College, and 22-year-old Darcey Renee Fix were found shot to death in Darcey’s north Portland home. Altig had driven up from Ashland to spend the holiday with family and was visiting Darcey; her father discovered both victims on the living room floor after she failed to arrive for dinner.

There were no signs of forced entry and the .32 caliber revolver registered to Darcey was missing. Randall Woodfield, a former college acquaintance of Darcey, was questioned early on but was not linked to the killings at the time. Decades later, in 2012, DNA testing by the Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Unit matched Woodfield to evidence from the scene. He was by then serving a life sentence for an unrelated 1981 murder and was officially named as the killer; authorities did not pursue new prosecution.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or the victims from that Thanksgiving weekend that could add context to what happened?
