Autopsy planned; Hummel says murder charge is possible
Death
Continued from A1
The Deschutes County District Attor-
ney’s office has yet to charge Kilby, 35, who
was allowed out of jail several days after
his arrest.
District Attorney John Hummel said a
murder charge could be coming. Because
only two people — Kilby and Banks —
know for certain what happened, forensic
evidence will be crucial in that determi-
nation. Investigators will
also look for inconsisten-
cies in Kilby’s statements
to police.
An autopsy on Banks
is scheduled for this
week.
Kilby, 36, has an ex-
Kilby
tensive criminal record,
the subject of 29 crimi-
nal cases in Deschutes County since 2004.
Additionally, he has two pending cases,
one from 2019, when he was allegedly
impaired and drove away from officers,
crashing into three vehicles in two parts of
town. This year, he was arrested for an al-
leged injury hit and run.
He’s pleaded not guilty in both cases.
“Mr. Kilby continues to cooperate with

“To us, that maybe opened
a window that she could also
recognize that it isn’t just kids
that are being hurt by the long-
term severe restrictions,” he
told The Bulletin on Monday.
“It’s also businesses and entre-
preneurs.”
At Tuesday night’s Redmond
City Council meeting, Endicott
and city councilors will discuss
sending a letter to Brown, ask-
ing the governor to give com-
munities more flexibility to
allow reopenings of struggling
small businesses.
The City Council isn’t quite
sure what that flexibility would
look like — the letter is still a
draft, and Endicott expects the
details will be sanded out Tues-
day night. But the mayor hopes
Brown will be receptive to
teaming up on a compromise
to help local business, while
still respecting COVID-19 pro-
tections.
Deschutes County is cur-
rently marked as “extreme risk”
for COVID-19 by the state
government. That means bars
and restaurants cannot serve
customers indoors, and gyms
cannot allow patrons to work
out indoors.
Becerra’s on 6th Bistro closed
in mid-March 2020, before state
regulations hit, due to custom-
ers panicking over COVID-19
just as it hit the U.S., said owner
Moises Becerra. He’s waiting for
the pandemic to die down, or
regulations to loosen, before re-
opening his downtown restau-
rant.
Becerra said he was happy to
hear the Redmond City Coun-
cil was asking Brown to make
reopening businesses easier.
“Finally, it’s a sign that some-
body’s doing something,” he
told The Bulletin.
Becerra added that restau-
rants heavily emphasize clean-
liness, and he doesn’t believe
they’re a vector for heavily
spreading COVID-19.
“You tell us you cannot be in a
restaurant, but you can be in an

“Limiting off-leash access
to a single 30-40-foot site in 8
miles of riverside park prop-
erty, while providing many ac-
cess points for boaters, floaters,
fishermen, and other recre-
ationists, amounts to treating
dog owners as second class citi-
zens,” DogPAC members wrote
on the group’s website.

all ongoing investigations,” said his attor-
ney, Michelle McIver, on Monday. “He
is saddened by the loss of his dear friend
and shares his sincere condolences with
(Banks’) family.”
Relatives of Banks say she knew Kilby,
though they’re not sure how well.
Banks, 43, was born in Evansville, Indi-
airplane from here to New York,
next to a stranger?” he said.
Susan Robertson, co-owner
of General Duffy’s Waterhole,
noted that her business, an
outdoor taphouse, isn’t as im-
pacted by the COVID-19 rules.
But she knows plenty of other
local restaurateurs who are
struggling.
“They’re getting to the
breaking point,” she said.
“There are small-business
owners deep in debt now.
Whether they’ll ever be able to
come out is in question.”
Endicott said he recently
spoke with the owner of Ma-
daline’s Grill, who told the
mayor he had to spend $500-
600 daily on propane to al-
low for outdoor dining in
chilly winter weather. And the
restaurant’s profit margins have
become extremely thin.
“He said, ‘I have had no
money in my pockets in my
restaurant in months, because
I’m giving all the money to my
staff,’” Endicott said Madaline’s
owner told him.
The owner of Madaline’s de-
clined an interview with The
Bulletin.
If restaurants and gyms in
Redmond are eventually able
to reopen, Endicott ensured
that he and city staff would put
pressure on those businesses
to follow COVID-19 protocols
like mask-wearing and social
distancing.
A few local restaurants, no-
tably Kevista Coffee in Bend,
have allegedly not required
staff or customers to wear
masks and faced state fines.
“I would certainly go down
and meet with (owners) per-
sonally and say, ‘look, we’re
fighting for you to get this
open, but you have to meet us
halfway,’” Endicott said. “The
same entrepreneurial spirit you
show on how you run your
business, show that same level
of commitment to mask wear-
ing and safety measures.”
City Councilor Ed Fitch is
worried the importance of re-
opening safely isn’t emphasized
enough in the draft letter to
dog owners want more off-
leash river access.
Last summer, the group sent
a survey to 430 people and
84% responded that they let
their dogs swim or wade in the
river and want to continue to
have access to do that in Bend.
“Recreating with dogs off-
leash is a valid form of outdoor
recreation,” DogPAC members
wrote.

ana, and moved to Bend as a teenager.
A difficult upbringing led her into drug
addiction, which she suffered from all her
life, her daughter, Rio Killian, said. Banks’
problem brought her into regular contact
with police, to the point her two daughters
were placed in foster care.
Around age 30, Banks was charged in a
major case in Deschutes County involving
allegations of burglary, rape and a stolen
motor home. She ultimately pleaded guilty
to four charges, including a sex offense.
She had subsequent arrests for meth pos-
session and failing to register as a sex of-
fender.
Despite her trouble with addiction and
the law, she always loved her children
and, later, her grandchildren, Killian said.
Near the end of her life, she texted her two
daughters every day to tell them she loved
them.
“We took mom off life support on Fri-
day and we got to spend quality time with
her without all the tubes attached, just
talking to her and telling her much we love
her,” Killian said. “We are very sad about
this situation, but we are glad she is no lon-
ger suffering.”
Banks’ family is raising money for cre-
mation through a GoFundMe page.

Brown. He said it needs a sub-
stantial revision — which he’s
already pitched to City Man-
ger Keith Witcosky — and he
won’t approve it as currently
written.
“I think we have to come out
in opposition to those people
who think they can do what-
ever they want, that it’s import-
ant to support the (national
health) guidelines,” Fitch told
The Bulletin Monday. “We’ll
support businesses who re-
open in a safe manner, but not
businesses who say, ‘To heck
with it.’”
Not all Redmond residents
think asking the governor for
more lenient restaurant rules
is smart.
Married couple Richard
Lance and Leanne Latterell
sent the City Council a lengthy
letter with many objections to
the council’s proposed letter to
Brown.
Lance — a retired social
worker and a Redmond res-
ident for 40 years — told
The Bulletin that he’s wor-
ried allowing indoor dining
could increase the spread of
COVID-19 in his community.
People have to take their masks
off to eat and drink, and they
often forget to put them back
on after their meal is finished,
he said.
“I don’t think a lot of people
in Redmond are concerned
about health and safety,” Lance
told The Bulletin Monday.
Lance understands some
small businesses are struggling
— he and his wife live near
downtown Redmond and fre-
quently patronize local stores
and restaurants, he said. But he
believes asking for exceptions
to Gov. Brown’s mandates isn’t
the solution.
“It’s not that we want local
business to fail, or have com-
pletely rigid rules,” he said.
“But saying, ‘we don’t need
these mandates’ … I don’t
think that’s responsible.”

Today is Tuesday, Jan. 12, the 12th
day of 2021. There are 353 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 12, 2000, in a 5-4 decision,
the U.S. Supreme Court, in Illinois
v. Wardlow, gave police broad au-
thority to stop and question people
who run at the sight of an officer.
In 1910, at a White House dinner
hosted by President William How-
ard Taft, Baroness Rosen, wife of
the Russian ambassador, caused a
stir by requesting and smoking a
cigarette — it was, apparently, the
first time a woman had smoked
openly during a public function in
the executive mansion.
In 1915, the U.S. House rejected,
204-174, a proposed constitutional
amendment to give women na-
tionwide the right to vote.
In 1959, Berry Gordy Jr. founded
Motown Records (originally Tamla
Records) in Detroit.
In 1971, the groundbreaking sit-
uation comedy “All in the Family”
premiered on CBS television.
In 1976, mystery writer Dame Ag-
atha Christie died in Wallingford,
England, at age 85.
In 2010, Haiti was struck by a
magnitude-7 earthquake; the
Haitian government said 316,000
people were killed, while a report
prepared for the U.S. Agency for
International Development sug-
gested the death toll may have
been between 46,000 and 85,000.
Ten years ago: President Barack
Obama visited Tucson, Arizona,
the scene of a shooting rampage;
he urged Americans to refrain
from partisan bickering.
Five years ago: In his final State
of the Union address, President
Obama urged Americans to rekin-
dle their belief in the promise of
change that first carried him to the
White House.
One year ago: President Donald
Trump and House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi sparred ahead of Trump’s
impeachment trial, with Pelosi say-
ing senators would “pay a price”
for blocking new witnesses, and
Trump labeling the impeachment
vote a “totally partisan hoax.”

She then married and raised three daughters. Av er her
divorce, she bravely took on the care of her daughters
and worked nights as a waitress. She moved many
} mes but always kept her girls within walking distance
of their grandmother. She then moved to Duvall and
appren} ced to become a û orist. One day she took a
call from a û orist in Friday Harbor and the next week
she moved to San Juan Island to work there. Peggy
eventually opened her own û ower shop and cafe. She
packed her bags once again and moved back to Kirkland
where she helped care for her û rst grandson, Tyler.
Peggy then moved to Boston and Portland, Oregon
helping care for Tyler while Ka} e at ended medical
school. Peggy con} nued to work as a nanny, caring for

She loved her dog Willie Nelson and her grandchildren.
She painted with her grandkids, walked with them
at Compass Park in Bend, relished bea} ng them at
cribbage, and spent hours watching the Trailblazers
with them. She enjoyed visi} ng the ocean and talking
to friends and family early in the morning un} l late
