Wilkins and Adeena M. Copell are com- ing home for trial. The Clat- sop County couple is accused of killing Agate Beach man Howard Daniel Vinge, stealing his vehicle and RV and ﬂ eeing to Arizona . The two were charged by the Clatsop County District Attorney’s ofﬁ ce with mur- der, abuse of a corpse and two counts each of unauthorized use of a vehicle. Copell was also charged with hindering the prosecution by hiding or destroying evidence. Vinge’s corpse was found Sept. 30 wrapped in material about 3 miles east of Asto- ria along U.S. Highway 30. The state Medical Examin- er’s Ofﬁ ce determined he died from blunt force trauma to the back of the head. After the alleged murder, Copell and Wilkins reportedly stole Vinge’s RV and Lincoln Continental. Vinge’s motor- home was found abandoned about 12 miles east of Sea- side near the intersection of U.S. Highway 26 and Oregon Highway 53. The couple were found Oct. 4 near Flagstaff, Arizona, driving the Lincoln and were arrested for unautho- rized use of a vehicle. Waived extradiction They appeared in court this morning in Coconino County Superior Court, which is equivalent to Clatsop County Circuit Court. During the hear- ing, they were given a copy of the grand jury’s indictment and the couple waived their right to an extradition hearing. District Attorney Josh Mar- quis said the pair will likely be arraigned locally in early November, after the county sends someone to transport them from Arizona. Wilkins and Copell face a maximum sentence of life in prison for the alleged murder. Investigators are asking anyone who had contact with Copell, Wilkins or Vin ge since Sept. 1 to contact law enforce- ment at 503-325-2061. Police believe the couple befriended Vinge sometime during the summer, likely near Vinge’s home in Agate Beach. Investigators learned that while allegedly disposing of the body between Sept. 21 and 27, the pair may have encoun- tered a man and woman in a black car. Investigators are urging the potential witnesses to come forward.

By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press SALEM — A record num- ber of people — more than 2.5 million — are registered to vote in Oregon, the secretary of state said on Tuesday, pre- dicting that more Oregonians will vote in the Nov. 8 election than ever before. The state is also on track to add more than 250,000 new voters through the Oregon Motor Voter program in time for the election, Secretary of State Jeanne P. Atkins said. “Nov. 8th will be one of the busiest elections in Oregon’s modern history,” she said. Oregon’s voter registration law, Oregon Motor Voter, took effect on Jan. 1 of this year. It registers voters when they obtain or renew their driver’s license, permit or identiﬁ ca- tion card. “Oregon has grown over the last four years and we have actively worked to regis- ter new Oregonians as voters. Moreover, there is an unprec- edented public interest in this election cycle,” Atkins said. Among closely watched races is the special election for governor, with Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat and for- mer secretary of state, running against Republican challenger Bud Pierce, an oncologist. They are competing to ﬁ ll the remaining two years of former Gov. John Kitzhaber’s term.
