Ashland Police say they have found a white skateboarding helmet and a skateboard near where David Grubb's body was found on the Ashland bike path. The helmet has a logo showing two crossed hammers.
Hello all I've been following the thread and I wanted to speak to a couple of things.
-First off he was not carrying a bank bag or any money from his workplace. I work there as well and NONE of our money is transported by anything other than an armored car service. I'm saying this both to inform the folks on here and to inform any would be wrongdoers that they are welcome to tangle with the fully armed professionals if they see an opportunity.
-Second is the interesting guess at the meaning of "Lengthman" as a nickname. In this case it was entirely literal - he was a tall fellow and often would reach for things to help others out (one of the stories shared at the funeral).
-<modsnip>I assure you that while we at Shop'n Kart do have a wide variety of musical tastes none of us engage in any kind of ritual violence or "satan worship."
-The photos with the machete were taken during a camping trip. Here in Oregon we have a lot of undergrowth as well as many parks where the cutting of live trees is prohibited. Building a fire frequently means using a machete or hatchet to glean dead wood from the area.
-Though the Police have not said to me personally this detail it has become somewhat common knowledge that his wallet was not disturbed and no money appeared to have been taken. I know this because I worked with him - most of us are poor as it's not a glamorous job.
<modsnip> We are all very stressed at the store and have been questioned by police several times. Many of us have supplied bladed objects to the police at their request because we all want the killer(s) to be apprehended as soon as possible.
<modsnip>I am asking that in a case such as this with a young man who was so kind and understanding to please remember that even if one person who knew him did this there are many, many, many who did not and we are all going through a very difficult time right now. <modsnip>.
thank you for your time.

"What about footprints?" asked one woman, mentioning that a killer might have stepped in blood during the attack. "Is there any way to track that?"
Holderness said he could not provide an answer to her question.
"We withhold information for a couple of reasons," he said.
The owners of a skateboard and helmet found near where Grubbs was murdered were identified by police Tuesday, said Detective Sgt. Jim Alderman, after one woman questioned the significance of the two items.
Two young boys who stashed the board and helmet there while walking to school were the owners, Alderman said. They are not suspects in the case.
Holderness says Grubbs was a gamer and played violent video games like Assassin's Creed.
“There have been situations in other areas where people have met online and developed a dislike for each other,” Holderness said.
Holderness says this week they are bringing in a forensic anthropologist from Pennsylvania who will be able to help give them a better idea of what happened. He said he will be able to narrow down what type of weapon was used.
Ashland connection?
Police in Oregon City and Ashland said that based on the circumstances of the slayings they doubted there was a connection between Crippens death and the recent slaying of a 23-year-old Ashland grocery clerk on a bicycle path. But the agencies noted they havent ruled out the possibility.
