Suspects
continued from page 1
No Vancouver officials could be
reached for more information on
Weavill’s and Flynn’s first court
appearance and it is uncertain
when the men will be released to
the custody of Eugene law enfor
cment.
At Monday’s press conference,
Donaca said he divulge very
much information about the case
because the investigation is still
in progress.
He did say that before the slay
ing Stafek and a few of her friends
were hanging out at Stafek’s resi
dence in the Highway 99N area.
Stafek left with Weavill and Fly
nn, Donaca said, and drove to a
nearby Taco Bell.
At some point, Flynn left the
automobile, and Stafek and Weav
ill ended up in the Bethel area
parking lot where the shooting
took place, Donaca said. Another
eyewitness told police that Weav
ill pulled the trigger, Donaca said.
“We still have a lot of investi
gating to do on the motive,” he
said, adding that no more arrests
are anticipated in the case.
Donaca said that there might be
a connection in this case to a
drive-by shooting that occurred
about a year ago, but caused no in
juries. Donaca said, however, that
there is no indication that Stafek’s
murder is gang-related.
You read about
[crimes like this] in the
newspaper all the time.
You just never expect it to
happen to your family.

Flynn is the son of Mary Louise
Thompson, who was convicted
and served time in prison for ar
ranging the 1994 killing of 18
year-old Aaron Iturra. Iturra was
allegedly killed so that his testi
mony against Flynn could not be
heard in a juvenile court case.
EPD Sgt. Ryan said on Monday
that investigators are still inter
viewing witnesses who may have
seen Stafek with Weavill before
the shooting, and Ryan guessed
that about 50 people have been in
terviewed since Thursday.
Weavill’s and Flynn’s arrests on
Sunday came at about the same
time Stafek’s family and friends
were gathering at Musgrove Fami
ly Mortuary in Eugene for visita
tion and viewing. Police contact
ed Stafek’s father, Jon, late Sunday
evening with news of the arrest.
“Obviously, we’re pretty happy
that we have [Weavill and Flynn]
in custody,” said Sgt. Pat Ryan of
the Eugene Police Department’s
violent crimes unit in Monday’s
Register-Guard.
But one member of Stafek’s
family said the process for closure
is far from over.
“It won’t be closed until [those
responsible] are'convicted,” said
Casey Stafek’s grandmother Susie
Stafek.
Susie. Stafek said she last saw
her granddaughter on July 2, and
she said that Casey did not indi
cate any trouble with any of her
acquaintances. Casey had gradu
ated in June from the Opportunity
Center, a program through South
Eugene High School.
“You read about [crimes like
this] in the newspaper all the
time,” Susie Stafek said. “You [ust
never expect it to happen to your
family.”
No other members of the Stafek
family wished to comment on
Casey’s murder.
Stafek will be buried today at 2
p.m. in a private ceremony. Con
tributions may be made to the
Casey Stafek Memorial Fund, in
care of Musgrove Family Mortu
ary.

Director of the students attending
IntroDUCKtion’s Transfer Day.
“About one-third to one-half of
the students participating are
from out of state.”
For transfer students, the draw
to the University from their previ
ous schools ranged from academ
ic needs to sports to personal rea
sons.
“This school has so much more
to offer than Western did,” Lori
Hartt said as she waited to meet
with her academic advisor. Hartt,
a junior transfer student from
Western Oregon University, made
the move to be near her boyfriend,
who will be attending the Univer
sity’s Law School in the fall.
For junior John Ellis, a transfer
from Gavilan Community College
in California, the reason to trans
fer was an opportunity to play on
Oregon’s golf team.
“I visited in October last year
and it was in the 70s,” Ellis said.
Since his move to Oregon, people
have continually asked him how
he’ll deal with the rain.
“It’s just a little water,” he said.
After checking in, new students
have the opportunity to attend
workshops, such as “IntroDUCK
tion to Academics at the UO,”
which cover everything from the
University’s learning communi
ties to selecting classes. Meeting
with advisers is also an integral
part of the day.
“I’m hoping to get more in
depth advising from attending
this event,” said William Ivanoff,
a transfer student from Lane Com
munity College. Ivanoff will be

During lunch, transfer students
had the opportunity to browse the
Information Fair, a multitude of
booths set up outside the EMU by
different campus programs and
organizations. While providing an
opportunity for students to learn
more about the services the Uni
versity has to offer, it also gave
campus groups a chance to edu
cate and recruit for fall.
“The goal is to capture people
interested in the outdoors the mo
ment they set foot on campus,”
said Suzanne Hanlon, the assis
tant director of the University’s
Outdoor Program. “We’re here
promoting primarily for our sum
mer activities and new student
orientation trips.”
