A woman is found dead in the Willamette River near the Jasper Bridge. On October 2, 2005, the body of 44-year-old Angela Wilson was discovered in the Willamette River, near the Jasper Bridge in Jasper, Oregon. An autopsy later determined that Wilson had been physically assaulted before her death, leading authorities to rule her case a homicide.
At the time of her death, Angela Wilson was experiencing homelessness and was known to frequent transient camps in the Eugene and Glenwood areas. She also struggled with mental illness and substance abuse.
Investigators faced significant challenges in piecing together her final days due to her transient lifestyle, making it difficult to track her movements and identify potential witnesses or individuals she may have interacted with before she was killed.
Despite the efforts of the Lane County Sheriff's Office, Angela Wilson's murder remains unsolved. No suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with her death. The case has become a cold case, but law enforcement continues to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough and bring justice for Angela.
