ON MEMORIES OF A CHILDHOOD
FRIEND OR PART OF THE REASON 2
LOCAL WOMEN RECENTLY RENEWED
THEIR EFFORTS TO SOLVE A 30
YEAR-OLD COLD CASE AND THAT
FRIEND OF THEIRS HER NAME
CASEY AND PERRY WAS JUST 10 AT
THE TIME.
THE NEVER SEEN AGAIN. THEY
HAVEN'T LOST HOPE THAT THEY
TONIGHT'S KOIN 6 UNSOLVED.
AND THERE'S 2 GOALS TO WHAT
WE FORMED IN THE CASEY PERRY
CASEY HOME. THE OTHER IS TO
GET THE PERSON OR PERSONS
RESPONSIBLE. HELD ACCOUNTABLE
FOR FOR WHAT HAPPENS YOU KNOW
A 10 YEAR-OLD DOESN'T GO
MISSING ON THEIR OWN I GUESS
IT JUST KIND OF US COMING
TOGETHER LIKE THAT WAS KIND OF
SPARKED SOMETHING WITHIN US
THIS SAID OKAY AND NOBODY ELSE
IS GOING TO LOOK FOR THIS KID
WE'RE GOING AMBER BROWN.
AND ALYSSA THINK ABOUT
THEIR CHILDHOOD FRIEND. CASEY
AND PERRY. EVERY DAY THAT'S
THE ONE THING ABOUT. HER THAT
DOESN'T EVER LEAVE IS HER
SMILE IT ALL GOES BACK MORE
THAN 3 DECADES AGO A LOT OF US
KIDS BUT ALL MEET UP YOU KNOW
LIKE STAND ON EACH OTHER'S
HOUSES AND AS YOU GOT CLOSER
BIGGER.
BACK THEN THEY WERE AMONG A
GROUP OF NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDS
FROM HOOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
THE CHURCH.
AND SEE WHAT MISTER IF WE
COULD GET INTO I MEAN WE'RE
ONLY 1011 MY FONDEST MEMORY
AKP IS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T
HANGING UPSIDE DOWN ON THE
BARS AND SHE WOULD HANG UPSIDE
DOWN STICKER. TIMEOUT YOU
CHUCKLE AND THEN DO A LITTLE
CHERRY BOMB OFF OF THAT LAND
ON HER FEET AND LAUGH AND THEN
GO ON ABOUT OUR BUSINESS.
BUT THEIR MEMORIES OF CASEY
DON'T GO BEYOND SEPTEMBER OF
1990 WHEN SHE VANISHED ON A
FRIDAY NIGHT FROM HER DAD'S
HOUSE IN SOUTHEAST PORTLAND.
MIKE FOR DINA SPOKE WITH KOIN
6 AT THAT TIME WE GET
DISCUSSION ARGUMENT ABOUT
ACTUALLY SHE WANTED TO GO HOME
THAT EVENING AND I TOLD HER
AND TAKE HER HOME THE NEXT
MORNING. SHE BASICALLY GAVE UP
JUST WENT TO BED AND I CAME
OUT HERE AND HERE FOR AN HOUR
AND HALF OR SO WENT BACK AND
CHECK ON HER AND SHE WAS GONE
AND INVESTIGATORS THINK SHE
MAY HAVE TRIED TO FIND A WAY
BACK TO HER MOM'S HOUSE SOUTH
IN THE SALEM KEIZER AREA.
TEARFULLY TAMMY PERRY SAID
IT WAS STRANGE FOR HER
DAUGHTER TO JUST UP AND LEAVE
AND SHE NEVER GONE. SHE SPENDS
DOLLARS ME.
SO THIS IS REALLY UNUSUAL
FROM WITNESSES SAW CASEY AT
THIS KEY KNOWS FOOD STORE AND
IT'S ABOUT 10 BLOCKS AWAY FROM
CASEY'S DAD'S HOUSE.
WELL TODAY AS YOU CAN SEE
IT IS A RITE AID STORE
INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT NIGHT
THOUGH CASEY HAD A PURSE WITH
HER THAT HAD SOME OF HER
CLOTHES IN IT THEN IT WAS
FOUND ABANDONED HERE AND THAT
WAS THE LAST TIME ANYONE EVER
SAW HER SEARCH DOGS PICKED UP
HER SCENT AT LAUREL HURST PARK
BUT STILL NO CASEY FLYERS WIN
OUT PLUS SIGHTINGS OF SOMEONE
HITCHHIKING NEAR THE
INTERSTATE IN ALBANY IN
WILSONVILLE BUT NO
CONFIRMATION IT WAS AT THE
TIME CW JENSEN WITH THE
PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU WAS ON
THIS CASE, IT'S 30 YEARS
IT BREAKS MY HEART. BREAKS
MY HEART. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE
HOW WE GET IN THESE CASES
CHANGE OUR NOW RETIRED THE
FORMER HOMICIDE DETECTIVE
STILL RECALLS DETAILS IN THIS
INVESTIGATION.
LIKE WHEN AT ONE AND THE
FAMILY KNEW LED THEM TO A SITE
FOR POSSIBLE CLUES ABOUT CASEY
HAVE ANY EVIDENCE AT THIS TIME
I MEAN CONTRAST.
WE DROVE AROUND TO TELL SO
AREA IN THE AND YOU KNOW TOOK
HIM OUT THERE, BUT IT ALL
WRONG. THINK YOU TOLD US THAT
THE YOU KNOW I I HE SAID AND I
JUST KIND OF THOUGHT I COULD
GET SOME ATTENTION TO THIS
TODAY. PP BEES COLD CASE UNIT
TELLS ME CASEY'S CASE HAS BEEN
REVISITED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE
1990.
THEY EVEN REEXAMINED
EVIDENCE CONTACTING WITNESSES
AND PERSONS OF INTEREST YOU
KNOW WHAT I DON'T THINK SHE
RAN AWAY DON'T THINK A
STRANGER'S SNATCHED HER OFF
THE KIND OF NARROWS IT DOWN
THERE COULD BE SOMEONE OUT
THERE.
ALL THESE EITHER FOR FEAR OR
SOME OTHER JUST DIDN'T WANT TO
SAY ANYTHING WE FIGURED WELL
IT'S KIND OF NOW OR NEVER
DURING YOUR THESE EFFORTS AND
IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS KIND OF
THE BOTH OF US OUR WHOLE LIVES
NOW WITH DONATED FLYERS IN
ALYSSA'S HANDS.
PLUS THESE DONATED
BILLBOARDS IN THE SALEM AND
PORTLAND AREAS. THE WOMEN ARE
HOPING TO GET THEIR
COMMUNITIES INVOLVED IN
CASEY'S CASE TO MAYBE WILL
SPARK A CONVERSATION WITH THEM
TO SAY HEY DO YOU REMEMBER THE
STORY.
MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS
SOMETHING AND THEY JUST DIDN'T
REALIZE THEY KNOW IT MAYBE
THEY SAW SOMETHING AND THEY
DIDN'T REALIZE.
WHAT THEY SAW FOR ALYSSA
AND AMBER IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN
HELPING TO SOLVE A MYSTERY
THAT'S THAT'S THE HOPE IS WE
GET JUSTICE KNOWING THAT SHE'S
NOT SITTING OUT THERE BY
HERSELF ANYMORE. THAT IS MY
ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO TO GIVE
HER FINAL RESTING PLACE.
I ALSO TALKED WITH CASEY'S
DAD GOT A SENSE THAT AS YOU
CAN IMAGINE, IT'S BEEN
DIFFICULT FOR HIM AND FOR SO
MANY PEOPLE OVER THESE LAST 3
DECADES. THE HE DID TELL ME
THAT HE STRONGLY APPRECIATES
ALYSSA AND HEARD FROM RIGHT
THERE. HE APPRECIATES WHAT
THEY'RE DOING. NOW PORTLAND
POLICE TO DECLINED AN
INTERVIEW REQUEST, BUT THEY
DID TELL US THAT IN 2014 A
RELATIVE'S DNA PROFILE WAS
UPLOADED INTO A COUPLE OF
NATIONAL DATABASES FOR MISSING
PEOPLE ALL TO CREATE A
POSSIBLE MATCH SHOULD HER
REMAINS BE FOUND ONE DAY AND
YOU HEAR THE ORIGINAL
INVESTIGATORS CW JENSEN WHO
YOU TALK TO SOON SEE HOW THIS
STILL BOTHERS HIM TO THIS DAY
EVEN THOUGH HE'S LONG SINCE.
RETIRED AND WE SAW THE
BILLBOARD IN FLYERS AND
THEY'RE KEEPING THE SEARCH
ALIVE ALSO THROUGH SOCIAL
MEDIA RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT
JUST SO THEY ACTUALLY AMBER
AND ALYSSA STARTED THIS
FACEBOOK PAGE TO BRING CASEY
PERRY HOME SO AGAIN IF YOU'RE
ON FACEBOOK THAT'S WHERE THEY
WANT PEOPLE TO JUST CHAT TO
SHARE INFORMATION RIGHT THERE.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW
EFFORT FOR THESE WOMEN, BUT
THEY ARE VERY DOG ABOUT THIS
AND THEY ARE NOT GIVING UP
HOPE WILL HOPEFULLY YOUR STORY
WILL STIR SOMEONE'S MEMORY AND
SOMEONE WILL COME FORWARD IN
