I think this all goes back to Hyatt Lake Resort. Not sure the case will ever be solved, however - not unless more than one person was involved in the actual murder and arson(s) and somebody decides to talk. All Jmo
What is it about the situation at Hyatt Lake that makes you think this case is unsolvable? Is there something or someone specific you can point to?I think this all goes back to Hyatt Lake Resort.

Thanks for taking the time to respond Sleuth2010. I have, in fact, been to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office in person, but thank you, it's an interesting suggestion.IMO, MOO, IME, LMNOP:
The police are working on this. That is good, Red Clover, that you are contacting the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
You should go there in person.
As previously stated, all of David Lewis' money went to his xwife via sons. All of David's family has been cleared.
All tips from email & phone, go directly to the authorities. The detectives will put the shiny bracelets on.

The fires on Dead Indian Memorial Road were in very rural locations where it's not uncommon to have outdoor vehicles, chainsaws, and kerosene lanterns. Dave was a known welder so he had acetylene tanks as well as multiple vehicles (jeep, pickup, work truck, motorcycles , etc) on the property. I remember seeing an old fashioned oil can under a tree behind where the cabin was on that day of the memorial 9/14/2008, the same day Troy's camp in Central Point had been burned.I read through the entire thread and one thing occurred to me: in order to commit two separate acts of arson, the murderer had to bring his own accelerant. So who was seen filling gas cans around the time of the murder? Who smelled of gas after coming home that night?
Here's the other side. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a headstone with a "killed" date. I find it a little strange someone chose to word it that way. It's also interesting that he's listed as son and brother before father. I know being a father was THE single most important thing in his life. I've often wondered what Dave would think of all the symbolism. I think he'd like the art, the picture of the mountain, the lake, and the wolf and feather he had tattoos of. I do love the picture that was chosen, that's how I'll always remember him.
It's been Dead Indian Memorial Road since 1993. Who decided to use the old name? (Maybe someone who hadn't lived in the area since before 1993?)
Maybe due to space on the headstone to leave 'Memorial' out? And I too have never seen Killed on a headstone, nor a street name on one for that matter.It's been Dead Indian Memorial Road since 1993. Who decided to use the old name? (Maybe someone who hadn't lived in the area since before 1993?)
Thank you for validating my observation @GemmieMaybe due to space on the headstone to leave 'Memorial' out? And I too have never seen Killed on a headstone, nor a street name on one for that matter.
I do not know for sure but found this info. It sounds like it's basically a promise to pay, but likely not held in a special account waiting for the day someone comes forward and supplies the info.Out of curiosity, does anyone know how rewards work? If it's posted that there's a $20,000 reward leading to arrest and conviction, is that held in a bank accounts or trust fund (in this case for 15 years) or with LE, or is it up to the family or whoever offered it to make good at the time of conviction after the arrest has been made?
