http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_...r.9171f027.html Police dig into cold case involving 2 kids & missing mom 11:23 AM PDT on Wednesday, April 1, 2009 By KYLE IBOSHI, KGW Staff CLACKAMAS, Ore. - The old case file is six inches thick. It's filled with typewritten police reports. There are also newspaper clippings from The Oregonian and the Oregon Journal dating back to the 1970's. And there are horrific crime scene photos. The black and white snapshots show two children, lying side by side, face down. Their bodies are outstretched. They are still wearing their shoes. Although this file is nearly three decades old, there is no dust on it and it is not hard to find. This is an active case, describes Captain Kevin Layng of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. Police are still looking for Lynne Brown. She's charged with killing her two children, then disappearing. On March 12, 1975 police found the bodies of five-year old Geoffrey Brown and his sister, seven-year old Leslie. They'd been shot. Their small bodies were stretched out on a fleece-lined coat in a small clearing at Milo McIver State Park near Estacada. Lynne Brown had taken her children for a one-day visit. Her ex-husband had custody. But, Brown and the children never returned. Her Volkswagen Beetle had been abandoned in the park. And nearby, police found Lynne's purse, her driver's license and a receipt for a newly purchased gun. Investigators searched the park for several days, but found nothing. The 26-year old mother had simply vanished. Police theorized that Brown could have taken her own life by shooting herself, then floating down the swift Clackamas River. She had a history of failed suicide attempts. But, she also could have run. "The information came in for quite a while," said Captain Layng. Over the years, police and the U.S. Marshals Service have chased countless leads. Brown, who often went by "Mitzi" has connections in Oregon, Oklahoma, Nevada and California. "There have been some people who knew her well who claim they've seen her since this incident," explained Layng. The most promising tip came in 1978. A close friend said she spotted Lynne at a Fred Meyer store in North Portland. She said the woman got into a van and drove off with an unidentified man. Also: Suspect arrested in 1995 cold case murder Since then, police have developed several sketches of what Lynne Brown might look like today. If, she's still out there. |
