I just looked up the newspaper in Eugene Oregan and nothing is mentioned.
Course maybe she doesn't live there now, that's wouldn't be surprising.

lizbud - was that comment necessary, hon? Maybe you meant it a certain way, but it came off to me as snide.
Sorry if I offended...I do think seeing a dead body unexpectedly, in an apartment upstairs from one's own, would leave people at least a bit rattled.
luckies, JMO - get some legal advice so you know what you are and are not required to do by the police, and also what you can share publicly.
{{{{hugs}}}} to all.

"Snide? You betcha!" b/c its another been there done that mentality.
I don't know if its true or not - but I did think she seemed rather cold/callous in her description of events.
OK - I have never known luckies4me to dramatize anything, not in the threads I have seen in the past (not that I have caught all of them).
I figure someone that seems 'unemotional' in this case either a) has seen a lot in their life so this doesn't throw them, or b) is still in shock and the upset will come later.
But - keep checking the newspaper and media...cops may have quashed info right now.

but sorry - you just lost your credibilaty in defending luckies4me.
Cass has had a lot go on in her life - and we have heard most of it.
woops - I had to correct that spelling in an earlier post, which I caught. I missed this one.
Sorry, luckies!
She seems to have summed a lot of stuff up quite coherently in #64 on this thread...and used it to try and help someone:

And if there is more to hear on this case, then we will hear about it.
I'll wait.
ETA: Did a search of Eugene OR news (tv mostly) and there's not a whisper about this. Odd...since many news stations have police scanners and are onto something like white on rice - instantly.
Let's see what luckies has to say about this.
yup!!Quote:

First off, I posted about this months ago. Yes, having druggie neighbors upstairs is a bit unerving, but I talk to this guy at least once a week. It's either to borrow the laundry key, to charge his cell phone (since they have not had electricity in god knows how long, which is also a requirement here at these apartments), to put milk in our fridge or any other number of things he dreams up of asking us. In fact, my bf saw Brad yesterday morning walking out of the 711, and that morning he went to the neighbors next to me to ask for some hydrogen peroxide. They asked him if he was going to cook meth, in which he replied, "No, I only smoke pot". Ya....
Anyway, the reason why they wanted me to call the girlfriend (liz) was to casually ask if they had heard from Brad, as until this morning no one knew where he was. I didn't feel like my life was in jeorpardy doing this. I had to call her anyway to see how she was doing, as when she lived here my roomate Eric and I made an effort to reach out to her and her baby as best we could, and Clancy said she would have liked to hear from me, hence the reason I was to call. I tried calling Clancy back today but he didn't answer.
I talked to the medical examiner this morning and he told me there was no longer a need to call her, or him, as they now know where Brad is. He's at Sacred Heart. I'm assuming from a drug overdose, but who knows. He didn't say. I'm assuming that if it was a drug overdose that he will be arrested after he is well enough to be released?
One thing the medical examiner mentioned was that they wouldn't even perform an autopsy on the man, because things like this happen so frequently. However, since I had mentioned to them that Clancy was here this weekend on "business" it kind of threw everyone for a loop. But, now that loop is gone, since we know where Brad is.
I also learned that the man who passed away had lunch with his father at 4 pm yesterday, which means he had died only about an hour after this. His father does not live in the state, but was here for medical treatment. How sad, to come here and visit your son and then the next day find out he has died from a drug overdose. My mother said this though, it could have been worse if the father was here and wasn't able to see his son, and then found out he died, instead of not having seen him at all.
When I went upstairs to look at his body they had his drivers license which was from Arkansas, but he had mail to that address, and they had also found a prescription pill bottle with the address on it, so apparently he had been living there, I had just never seen him. Of course, most of their traffic is at night when I'm "trying" to sleep.
One thing I find interesting is they told me that they usually do not contact the landlords? :confused: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was law for a landlord to be contacted if drugs are involved. I told me roomate about this and he said he would talk to his friend who does maintenance on these apartments and then he'll get back to us. The upstairs neighbors told me they have called several times about their noise and drug use, but nothing has happened. We too have called, and they were given a notice for trafficing and told that if they get another complaint they would be evicted, however it has been months since we called.
Oh, and as far as it being mentioned on the news, I'm assuming it wasn't news enough to be mentioned, however I'm going to try and pick up a paper today and see if anything is mentioned in the police section. I doubt there will be an obituary in our paper, since he was not from here. But yes, I've seen nothing on the news, and no one from any news company showed up. Apparently this happens so frequently it's not worth mentioning.
Also, get this! This is how stupid people on drugs are! A guy was upstairs this morning, digging around the apartment. Not very smart. I took down his plate number and gave it to the medical examiner. I don't know if this is the man who was with the girl who had phoned 911 or not, but either way, you've got to be pretty stupid to walk back into a house a man just died at to get your belongings.
My roomate and I went upstairs to the apartment earlier as the door was wide open. The house is absolutely disgusting and looks more so during the day. We tried shutting the door, slamming it even, but it will not shut. I'm sure I will see more people up there though, at least until the landlords get their heads together and do something. In all honesty, I highly doubt they will do anything, seeing as he's been reported to them several times.

I only asked b/c I wasn't sure if I was looking in the right area. Wouldn't do much good looking for a death overdose in Eugene, OR if you lived in Fargo, North Dakota now would it? And no I'm not implying you ever lived there or been there- just using that as an example.Quote:

I see. :) Sorry to have been rude.
Now, as far as the medical examiner goes, he pretty much offered me a job this morning on the phone. We were talking about my interest in medicine/healthcare, and he told me he could get my foot into the door at Sacred Heart. He also works there, as a surgical nurse, for the past 40 years, but does the medical examiner job part time. :) I really like working with animals, but the pay would be a lot better working in human healthcare. Before he left yesterday he gave me his home telephone number, which seemed kind of odd, and even he himself mentioned he has never done that before, but he said he was impressed with me. It was nice to hear, and made me very happy to hear someone think I could make it in a field like that!
Not to jump off subject, but I had to brag for a second. :p I'm going to head over to the local 711 right now and pick up a paper and see if I can find anything. Hopefully, there will not be anyone over there tonight, as I work very early tomorrow morning and would really benefit from a good nights rest! *keeping fingers crossed*.
Now, I have a question. If nothing is done with the tenant above, do I as a tenant here have any rights to getting him kicked out? Not only is it me, but everyone else who lives here has had enough. Everyone else here are quiet, friendly, nice people and we'd like to have it that way.
Someone mentioned earlier about posting this online. I am not worried in the least. If they cannot afford to pay for electricity, I hardly doubt they can pay for internet. Plus, with as doped up as they always are, I'd be surprised if they could read!
I wasn't concerned about THEM - I was concerned about the police and investigation itself. just a random worry..Quote:
