Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, August 30, 2017 The Archive Zone: by Hillary Mohr from the Illinois Valley News archives two white men considered armed and dangerous. One is approximately 30 to 35, 6-4, 180 pounds with black, curly hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt, dark blue jeans, and black-and-white tennis shoes. His partner is about 35 to 40, 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, wearing a black baseball cap, sunglasses, and a blue- and-white bandana over his face. He also wore a gray-and-white long sleeved shirt and acid-washed blue jeans with black utility boots. The suspects told the victims that they would not be harmed, but that they were looking for chemicals supposedly hidden in the walls of the residence by former tenants. The couple, whose hands were tied behind their backs, were released when a friend came to the residence, apparently unaware of the situation, while the suspects were digging a hole. Once released the couple yelled at the men that officers were on the way. The suspects fled in Unger’s car. It was recovered by deputies a short time later, not far from the residence. 6WDUWLQJRU*URZLQJD%XVLQHVVLQ,OOLQRLV9DOOH\" 1HHGPRQH\" 0LFUR%XVLQHVV/RDQ)XQGLQJ$OZD\V$YDLODEOH 6WDUWXSH[LVWLQJKRPHEDVHGRURWKHU EXVLQHVVHQWHUSULVHV PLQLPXP WR PD[LPXP $SSO\DWWKH,9&'2RIILFH&DYHV+Z\ 4XHVWLRQV"3KRQH 0108 This week we look back at June 19, 1996. Though summer was in full swing for the kids, there was a strange and rather peculiar situation taking place on Schumacher. Get ready for one of the most bazaar crimes to come across while searching for this week’s Archive Zone. Two gunmen hold couple; seek drugs. Sheriff’s deputies are looking for two armed men, partially disguised, who cut phone lines, forced their way into a Cave Junction residence and tied up a couple while they broke into a wall searching for chemicals. They also dug a hole in a yard at the residence. The incident of first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery, which occurred at 600 Schumacher St., was reported at approximately 3:22 p.m. on Monday, June 17 when Dustin R. Unger, 24, and Kimberly A. Scott, 23, went to the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office Substation in Cave Junction. They were reported uninjured, and the sheriff’s office does not consider them to be associated with any drug activity. The suspects are described as Page A-11 ALL CuStom jeweLry DeSIGnS & repAIrS Done In HouSe!
