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.

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

ENERGY
SAVINGS
ARE IN YOUR
FUTURE
THREE WAYS YOU CAN COMMAND
YOUR HOME ENERGY DESTINY
Install ENERGY STAR® LED
bulbs to cut your energy use
by as much as 85 percent.
LEDs are available in many
styles to fit all the rooms in
your home and you’ll save even
more in the long run because
they’ll last up to 20 times
longer than standard bulbs.
Unplug battery chargers for
mobile phones, tablets, laptops
and other devices when not in
use—they use energy even when
they’re not actively charging
anything. Group your electronics
together on power strips so you
can switch them off when you’re
done using everything.
Save on heating costs by
lowering the thermostat to
65-68 degrees when you’re
home, and to 58-60 degrees
at night or when you’re
away. Upgrade to a smart
thermostat to make these
kinds of energy-saving
changes automatically.
