Who killed 40 year old John Plunkett in 1982?
In the early morning hours of March 13, 1982, the quiet of a Portland, Oregon neighborhood was broken by a grim discovery. John Plunkett, a 40-year-old Caucasian male, was found deceased in the driveway of a residence. A security guard making his rounds happened upon the scene at approximately 3:30 a.m.

The circumstances surrounding Plunkett's death were immediately suspicious, prompting an investigation by law enforcement. However, the case proved to be a difficult one from the outset. Despite the efforts of investigators, leads were scarce, and information from the public did not provide the necessary breakthroughs. The mystery of who was responsible for John Plunkett's death and why has lingered for decades.

To this day, the case remains unsolved. There have been no arrests made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the homicide. The passage of time has not brought answers to the questions that have haunted Plunkett's family and the community since that tragic morning in 1982. His death is a cold case, a somber reminder of a life cut short and a quest for justice that continues.
