But on Friday, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said that, along with Gresham police, they have been working to digitize the case files for the past year.
“This means scanning and documenting thousands of pages of reports, photos and evidence,” MCSO said.
They add when that process is complete, the file will be re-examined by the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). According to MCSO, the BAU uses behavior and psychological analysis to go over statements and other evidence. They will then offer recommendations to local law enforcement on how to proceed in the case based on “patterns from similar historic and current cases nationwide.”
MCSO noted they will also meet with Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez to assess next steps.
