July 21-23, 2023
The Oregon State Police will be enhancing our patrol efforts in the Bend area over the weekend of Friday, July 21 through Sunday, July 23. The FairWell Music Festival and Jefferson County Fair will draw a significant number of motorists to the area and the increased traffic volume comes with an increased risk of traffic collisions. The Oregon State Police will be seeking the public’s assistance in ensuring safe highways for those who are traveling to and from these events, as well as those traveling through the area on other adventures.
OSP’s presence will be focused reducing violations of the Fatal Five categories- Speed, Occupant Safety, Lane Usage, Impaired Driving, and Distracted Driving (SOLID). These violations are statistically proven to contribute to serious injury and fatal crashes. We encourage motorists to plan ahead in order to avoid the need to rely on excessive speed, use their mobile devices, or operate their vehicles while impaired in order to get to and from their destinations.
Any media inquiries related to the focused patrol efforts this weekend can be submitted the OSPPIO@osp.oregon.gov

Oregon State Police and Marion County Medical Examiner’s Office requesting assistance in identifying male discovered deceased in 2016
On July 22, 2016, the body of an unknown male individual was found deceased under the Marion Street Bridge in Salem, Oregon. The individual was wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt and blue denim jeans. He appeared to have brown hair with some gray, and was between 35 and 65 years old at the time of death. The identity of this individual has never been confirmed, and almost 7 years have passed without any substantial leads regarding his identity. His profile has been uploaded into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under NamUs UP#16050.
OSP has partnered with Parabon NanoLabs to perform innovative DNA analysis on this case. Based on genetic information, his eye color and hair color are brown, and his skin color is light brown. Additional results show this male to have genetic ancestry common in Central and South American Latino individuals. He is likely from Central Mexico and very likely to have close family in or near Las Ranas, Michoacan.
Do you know of, or have family members in Las Ranas? Can you recall a known Hispanic male individual disappearing in the summer of 2016 who meets this description and has not been heard from in 7 years? If so, please contact the Marion County Medical Examiner’s Office at 1-503-580-9471 to report information that may help identify this man.
