http://www.statesmanjournal.com/sto...ng-dead-body-found-near-winter-d-st/18905273/A Willamette University student was arrested on a charge of murder in connection with a body found near D and Winter streets NE Wednesday morning. Willamette officials confirm that Beau W. Smith, 22, is currently enrolled as a student at Willamette. He is also the wide receiver for the Willamette Bearcats football team, according to the school's website. The senior majoring in chemistry was arrested in the murder investigation of 66-year-old Michael Hampshire.
Salem Police closed several roads near state buildings downtown after they found Hampshire's body. According to Lt. Dave Okada, a passerby called police at 3:42 a.m and reported the body was lying on property near the intersection.
Strange to see a 22 college student killing a 66 year old man. Possible explanation anyone?
