On September 2, 1986, the body of 22-year-old Terrence Demildenhall was found in his sleeping bag shot to death next to the sea wall in the Waterfront Park 100 yards north of the Morrison Bridge in Portland, Oregon. Terrance was a transient at the time and was last seen alive and sleeping in the same spot around 12:30 a.m.
5 months later on Feb. 27, 1987, 36-year-old Fred Edgi was found shot to death in his sleeping bag under the west side of the Burnside Bridge near Front Ave, now Naito Parkway, just before dawn. A handwritten note near the body was found and it was claiming responsibility. Fred Edgi was a transient originally from Canada and had recently come to Portland. He was a talented amateur artist.
Both murders are believed to have been done by the same person. Fred and Terrance were both transients found shot to death in their sleeping bags in the early hours less than a half a mile apart. They both were described as heavy drinkers. They were different races though. Terrance was white and Fred was Native American.
