It's a good thing that you asked me to do that Niner. I just discovered that it looks like the hearing on 6/30 is cancelled, and that the trial dates have been pushed out to next January for trial 1 (doesn't say which) and March or April for trial 2. It might take several screen shots to get them all. Not sure it'll fit into one post. Looks like it's still the same case number for him: 20CR24407 | State of Oregon vs Christopher Charles Lovrien. Also a second female prosecutor has been added. Mark's case is charged as 2nd degree Murder.Thanks for this update. Can I ask you to repost this - so I can see what it says after Defendant's name?

Hey @LinasK !
I see that Count 1 - which I believe to be the charges for Mark - goes to trial first - on 1/29/24. See note on court site that says Comment: Trial (ct 1).
And since Griffin case has 2 charges against him - the Comment: Trial (ct 2 & 3) would probably refer to this case.
Hopefully that is correct - as I am now changing my notes....

Niner, I think you are correct. Ken thought that we might go first. And rightfully we should. Our case is older, and Ken isn't getting any younger. But also Lovrien has 6 Felon in possesion of a firearm charges filed against him as well.Hey @LinasK !

Not so far... I keep checking. Thanks for asking.Hey @LinasK - is there any updates on any hearing before the Jan. 19, 2024 ?
Seems like an awful long time between hearings!
TIA!
I never followed Mark Dribin's case and familiar only because of @LinasK dedication to the case over the years. Just notice @LinasK post that an arrest was made and wanted to express much appreciation to all that worked on the case and @LinasK devotion is without exception!
Case #99-63735

In 1999, Mark Jeffrey Dribin worked for United Airlines at PDX. On July 2, 1999, Mr. Dribin called his employer and requested the night off, as he had a ”personal emergency.” Mr Dribin has not been seen or heard from since.

Thanks for your interest. Mark was my cousin. Sometimes cold cases are hard to get attention for, and this case is receiving little attention, and we aren't hearing much from the judicial system either. Now if we can only get Lovrien to trial...I never followed Mark Dribin's case and familiar only because of @LinasK dedication to the case over the years.

I just got off the phone with Ken. As far as he can tell, he thinks that the judge's logic in separating the trials is that it makes more sense and less chance of a mistrial since the cases are 20 years apart. Ken is really bummed though that the trial has been delayed until January.
Woah - I am shocked to see that we are acquainted with the brother of the accused (the one mentioned in the news reports of the arrest) through our kids.
I can’t believe how little attention this has received locally in Portland.
@LinasK - do you know if there has been any effort from LE to identify more victims? It seems odd that he violently murdered two strangers 20 years apart with no other victims. Especially since it was reported that LE found evidence of more victims in his home.

Today's hearing was postponed to Wednesday @2:30pm due to "transportation issues". Ken seems to think that they didn't have enough sheriffs available to transport him. Stay tuned...
