The 38th paragraph of this story mentions that this investigation was halted because the justice department cancelled a program that helped rural communities solve violent crimes.
Candy Cane Park was covered in “a decade-old veil of darkness.” There was an unlikely twist in the investigation of a killing in 1983 that still haunts a small town in Oregon.
