Who killed Becky Rae Martin?

Becky was a bubbly, free-spirited 22 yr old mother of three,pregnant with her fourth. She was out on a date on the night of Oct 17, 1975. Unfortunately her date was lavishing his attention on other women, instead of her, so she decided to leave. She was last seen outside a bar/lounge in Springfield OR that night. The next day, her body was found by a mother and her kids in a grassy field near Junction City. She has been stabbed multiple times, throat cut, and her body posed.

Who killed Becky? Was it her date that she abruptly left? Was it someone she lived with? Could it have been a family member that was jealous of the attention she was getting? Could this person have killed again?

She died over 50 years ago – is there still a chance that this case can be solved?

We will get into all of this, and more, on this episode of our podcast.

Who killed Tammy Albertson?

Tammy Albertson was a vivacious 16 year old living in ruralWheeler, Tillamook county, Oregon. She had been dropped off by her stepfather at a phone booth outside of town to call her boyfriend to come pick her up – she had said they were going to spend the day together. At the phone booth at theconvenience store is the last verified sighting of her. Almost a full year later, her body was found approximately 20 miles away in the Tillamook State Forest, in an area called God’s Valley. The medical examiner determined that she has suffered blunt force trauma as the cause of death, and that the manner of death was homicide.

Who killed Tammy? Was it her stepfather, Jack Jamison? Was it her boyfriend? Was it someone else in her orbit? Or could it have been … a serial killer?

She died over 30 years ago – is there still a chance that this case can be solved?

We will get into all of this, and more, in this episode of our podcast.

What happened to the Ore-Gone Podcast?

In the early evening hours of late 2023, we came up with a planand a dream -- to put out a weekly, ok bi-weekly, ok monthly podcast. So what happened to our grand master plan? Well, life got in the way, as it has a tendency to do. We will get into all of that and more in the season’s end episode of the podcast. Now, with additional corrections (for the same low price)!

Don't worry, we'll keep dreamin', and keep on keepin' on.

Who killed Gayle LeClair?

Gayle LeClair was a vivacious 22 year old who had graduated from Community College and was living in Eugene, working at the Eugene Public Library. On the morning of August 23rd 1973 she did not show up to work. Her supervisor went to her house to check on her and found that she had been murdered. It was the literal definition of overkill; she had been stabbed more than 50 times.  

Who killed Gayle? Was it the guy she had gone on a date with the night previously? Was it the lawyer and former assistant District Attorney that she rented the cottage from? Was it someone else in her orbit? Or could it have been … Ted Bundy? Even scarier, could it be a previously unidentified serial killer?

Is there any hope of solving this case that is over 50 years old at this point?

We will get into all of this, and more, on this episode of our podcast.

Well, one full year of the podcast in the books. And what a year it was. We discuss our first case, what we have learned about podcasting, about the hit or miss nature of reaching out to family, as well as cases we are hoping to do in 2025. And maybe, if you are lucky, even updates to a few cases!
