Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
In the quiet coastal community of Gold Beach, Oregon, the life of 43-year-old male, Deputy Sheriff David Eugene Foster, was tragically cut short on December 17, 1984. On that day, Deputy Foster was responding to a domestic disturbance call, a situation law enforcement officers face with regularity, never knowing what awaits them. As he arrived at the scene and stepped out of his patrol car, he was met not with a chance to de-escalate a volatile situation, but with a calculated act of violence.
