A 25-year old woman is murdered on her way to the bank after work Caucasian / White. On October 17, 1975, Camille Karen Covet Foss, age 25, finished her shift as an office employee at the Sears store in Washington Square near Hillsboro/Tigard and left around 5:00 p.m. to make a bank deposit for her employer. Not long after, around 6:00 p.m., the bank called Sears to ask about the missing deposit. Later, a security guard found the 25-year-old female in her green Chevrolet Impala in the Washington Square parking lot; she had been beaten and shot twice.
Authorities recorded her date of death as the same day.
Records confirm that Camille Karen Covert Foss was born September 25, 1950, and died October 17, 1975, at age 25 in Washington County, Oregon. Local and regional coverage at the time and in subsequent cold-case features places the scene in the southwest corner of the Washington Square lot, emphasizing that the 25-year-old female never reached the bank after leaving work.
Investigators have described the killing as an unsolved homicide and have asked for public assistance. Official materials from Washington County agencies and subsequent media spotlights reiterate that no arrest has been announced in connection with the slaying of the 25-year-old female, and no suspect has been publicly identified. Case flyers circulated by county authorities list the matter under a 1975 homicide investigation and seek tips from anyone who may have information.
Some accounts note details consistent with a handgun, such as a revolver caliber commonly cited in mid-1970s shootings, and describe the victim’s vehicle as a late-1960s Chevrolet Impala parked at her workplace. Regardless of these specifics, the central facts remain: the 25-year-old female left Sears to make a routine deposit, never arrived at the bank, and was discovered shot to death the same evening in the mall parking lot. As of the latest public reporting, the case remains open without a named suspect or arrests.
