Do you know who killed 32 year old Frank Richard Jones?
In the early morning hours of May 23, 1985, the discovery of a body behind the old Sears Building on Northeast Grand Avenue in Portland, Oregon, marked the tragic end for Frank Richard Jones. A 32-year-old Caucasian male, Jones was found deceased at approximately 3:15 a.m. in a grassy area near the intersection of Northeast Lloyd Boulevard and Northeast 7th Avenue. An investigation determined that he had died from an apparent stab wound.
Those who knew Frank Jones described him as a "loner" and a transient. The last known sighting of him was as he walked south on Northeast 9th Avenue, nearing Pacific Street. He was not alone in these final moments; an unidentified white man was seen in his company. This individual has since become a person of interest in the investigation, which remains an unsolved cold case.
Authorities have a description of the man last seen with Jones. He was estimated to be around 30 years old at the time, standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing between 155 and 160 pounds. His hair was dark brown or black and collar-length, and he had a stubble beard. He was reportedly wearing an army fatigue-style jacket and blue jeans. Despite this description, no arrests have ever been made in the case, and the identity of the man seen with Frank Jones remains a mystery.
