Murder of Shirley Wallace



On the night of July 10, 1975, 31-year-old Shirley Wallace and another 24-year-old female employee were both working at the Gentlemen's Retreat Massage Parlor on River Rd in Eugene, Oregon. A man would enter the shop with a shotgun and bound both women's hands. He would take around $30 from their wallets. He would take Shirley into another room and leave the other employee in a closet.

The woman would escape the closet and would hear the man striking Shirley in another room. She would then get help from the adjoining tavern. When people tried to intervene two were shot and wounded and the man would escape in a pickup truck.

He had stabbed Shirley to death. 

The suspect was a white male in his 20s. He was seen driving away in a red with white trim older model pickup.It's possible that the license plates may have been from out of state.
