OR Veronica James Cold Case Portland Oregon 1999

[fiendfinder]

So I have been looking at a cold case in my area and I have kind of hit a wall on digging up more information. I submitted a public records request but the police department is not releasing anything stating that it is an ongoing investigation although it has been cold for quite some time. Veronica James was 25 years old when her body was found inside of a canvas duffle bag in the driveway of an abandoned home in Portland, OR. I have heard that she was killed by blunt force trauma to the head and I have heard another story that she was shot so I am not sure which one is accurate. She was last seen near the intersection of 82nd Ave. and Stark St. I did track down a comment from a bartender in the area that said that Veronica had come into the bar and seemed scared as if "someone was chasing her". She had 3 young daughters when she was killed and there are reports that she was allegedly involved in sex work and struggled with substance abuse issues.
Past that, there really isn't much out there about her that I have been able to find. I know there are PLENTY of people here that are way better at research than me so I'm just hoping someone can turn up some more information and send it my way.
