Family: Woman found dead along I-5 'on the drugs'
PORTLAND, Ore. - New details are emerging about a California woman who was found dead along Interstate 5 late last week.
The body of 25-year-old Tara Elizabeth Gordon of Redding, California, was discovered Friday morning.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner determined that she died from head trauma and investigators are looking into whether a crime was involved.
Meanwhile, her family in California is shedding light on who Gordon was. They told us the Tara Gordon they used to know was a carefree spirit who at one point had volunteered with the California Conservation Corps to restore trails and nature areas.
But they said in recent months she had gotten involved in drugs and was even arrested on a vandalism charge.
"She had some neck problems and she was on painkillers," said Betty Sutter, the woman's aunt. "And maybe that's what got her started on the drugs."
Sutter said Gordon was in the Eureka, California area last week.
"She had been over there visiting her sister but there had been some disagreement and her sister asked her to leave," Sutter said.
By Friday morning, Gordon's body was discovered 380 miles away, along the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Woodburn outlet stores. She had no identification on her but investigators were able to determine who she was.
Gordon's uncle, John Sutter, said her family had done everything they could to help her.
"One bad choice led to another," he said.
Anyone with further information that can help investigators is asked to call the Oregon State Police.
She was smoked(killed) by her "Klan Sister" who threw her out. This was a murder it was not due to drugs or
alcohol. The Klan manipulate and kill their human siblings by forcing them into bad situations where they
can be hurt or killed. So who is to blame? The Klan Witch sister that threw her out to the curb. Book her and let
World War III begin in America. Human Rights vs the Evil Klan Nation!

WhoMe? Wayne E. Manzo, Former NASA Engineer and PhD set-up by the Oregano Klan into a fake job at NC State then a fake job at Klan NASA Lewis and then right to the streets as a homeless engineer turned Net Publisher
who has been censored for over 11 years. Why? I tell the truth about the Klan!
I understand the homeless, hard-drug user problem in NorCal/SouthernOregon.
It's bad, I know. But, shouldn't the focus be on discovering who murdered her?
Not treating this as some inevitable consequence?

@CommonSense Do you have evidence they are not looking for a murderer?  (looks away from computer screen, buries face in palm....and he says he understands...sigh)
