Hey everyone, I've been following the Rodney Lynn Grissom and Karen Jean Lee case for a while now, and something that's always puzzled me is the discovery of their belongings along that logging road in Linn County. Does anyone else find it suspicious that both Rodney's personal items and Karen’s altered jeans were found in such an isolated area? It's as if someone wanted to discard incriminating evidence without it being too obvious. I can't shake the feeling that whoever was involved knew the area well enough to think it wouldn't be discovered for a long time. Also, those jeans being cut—what could that signify? Some sort of message or a way to remove identification details? It seems like a bizarre detail that's never really been explained. It just makes you wonder about the kind of person who would do this and why more hasn’t been uncovered all these years later. Thoughts? Anyone with local knowledge about the area back in the day have insights?

Hey everyone, I’ve been digging into Rodney and Karen’s case, and something that really sticks out to me is the eerie call they made from that payphone in Lebanon, Oregon. I mean, "Our ride is here," and then they just vanished without a trace. It makes you wonder about the identity of the driver who picked them up. Did they know the person beforehand or was it someone completely random? Considering the era and lack of social media back in 1977, finding hitchhiking rides was a gamble, but it was common. What also intrigues me are the items found months later—especially the jeans Karen had that appeared to be cut. Could this indicate defensive actions, or was it something else entirely? So many unanswered questions. Anyone else have thoughts or theories on who their ride might have been or if there were any similar cases in the area at the time?
