Deborah Atrops

However, Debbie Atrops had a complicated life and kept a lot of secrets.

We view this as a case of actual innocence.

There is more evidence that suggests John Pearson was involved in Deborah Atrops' murder than there is Bob Atrops.

They thoroughly interviewed John Pearson.

Things were good between him and Debbie Atrops.

He had no motive to commit this crime.

John Pearson did have motive to kill Debbie Atrops.

He said that in hindsight, he thinks that Debbie Atrops was only with him because she was looking for somebody to pay the bills for her.

That's plenty motive.

It was Thursday, December 1st, 1988, when Deborah Atrops, known as Debbie, was found murdered in her car next to a construction site here in Beaverton, Oregon.

Debbie had been reported missing two days earlier by her estranged husband, Bob Atrops, who lived about five miles away on this rural road.

So where are we in relation to the Atrops case?

Right here is Southwest Konzelman Road in Sherwood, and this is where Bob Atrops was living at the time of Debbie's murder.

On the night she went missing, Bob says Debbie, who was then 30 years old, never arrived to pick up their baby, Rihanna, as expected.

I think that it's important for everyone to know that just because a case goes unsolved doesn't mean that it's forgotten.

Allison Brown is a senior deputy district attorney in Washington County, Oregon.

Here's our exhibit list.

Who, along with attorney Chris Luhmann, joined a team of investigators working on Debbie's unsolved murder.

Brown says they hope talking to the original detectives, witnesses... We've got videos.

This is from the scene.
