Gresham, Ore.— Gresham Police are asking for help from the public after arresting an offender who was posing as a child and participating in youth basketball events.
Beginning in May 2026, Gresham Police investigated multiple reports regarding 20-year-old Ethan Bohanan’s interactions with children. Investigators learned Bohanan had, over the course of multiple years, presented himself as a 14-16-year-old emancipated minor. At times Bohanan claimed to be enrolled at various local middle schools. During that time, Bohanan played in youth basketball events, received youth supportive services, and engaged in sexual relationships with multiple children. Bohanan continued to claim he was a juvenile when contacted by police.
In June, Bohanan was charged with sex crimes and physical assaults against multiple child victims, and crimes relating to the unlawful use of a firearm. Investigators have located evidence Bohanan committed physical and sexual assaults of additional children, who have not yet been identified by law enforcement. Bohanan’s victims are likely not aware of his true age.
Detectives have been in contact with local school districts, sports leagues, and youth services organizations. They have not found any evidence Bohanan formally enrolled in any Multnomah County school or competed in district-run sports; however, Bohanan is known to have participated in events organized by local nonprofit leagues and organizations, which rent space at local schools. Bohanan is known to have had contact with children across Multnomah County.
Police are asking anyone with information about Bohanan’s conduct to contact Detective Lindsay Friderich at 503-618-3128 or Lindsay.Friderich@GreshamOregon.gov.
Additional information on the prevention, reporting, and investigation of sexual abuse in youth sport is available through the US Center for SafeSport. The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 codified the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, as the nation’s safe sport organization. The US Center for SafeSport can be reached at 833-5US-SAFE (833-587-7233) or https://uscenterforsafesport.org.

Gresham, Ore.— On July 2, 1993, Gresham Police responded to a house on Overlook Ct in southwest Gresham, where they discovered 45-year-old Astrid Bridges deceased. Responding officers and detectives collected physical evidence at the scene, interviewed Astrid’s family, and canvased neighbors seeking information. The Medical Examiner ruled Astrid’s death accidental.
Following a re-examination of the evidence and Astrid’s injuries, the Medical Examiner’s office reclassified Astrid’s death as a homicide. With this change in status, the investigation into her death has been reopened. “Thanks to the combined impacts of the voter-approved Police and Fire levy, our work with the Gresham Police Officer’s Association to hire additional detectives, and our patrol division’s efforts, including the Ceasefire initiative, to reduce ongoing crime, we are now able to assign these important cases for active investigation,” said Police Chief Travis Gullberg.
Detectives from the Gresham Police Department are leading the investigation, supported by investigators from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. “While cold case homicides present unique challenges, I am confident we will be able to get justice for Astrid,” said lead detective Tyson Conroy. Anyone with information is asked to email Detective Conroy at Tyson.Conroy@GreshamOregon.gov.

Gresham, Ore.— Two years ago, Tatanisha McGowan was about to climb into her car, parked along NE 162nd Ave near E Burnside St, when she was struck by a passing vehicle. The other driver continued without stopping and McGowan was left with lasting injuries. A nearby surveillance camera captured the suspect’s vehicle, a silver sedan which witnesses said had a “loud exhaust”, as it fled the scene. Evidence at the scene indicated the vehicle would have suffered damage along the passenger side of the car.
On the second anniversary of the crash, the Gresham Police Department is releasing images of the suspect vehicle. “We believe there may be additional witnesses who were not interviewed at the time of the crash,” said Detective Adam Wright. “If you have information about the crash, no matter how minor, please come forward.” For her part, McGowan says she has forgiven the person who struck her, but that they still need to be held accountable for their actions.
Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call the GPD tip line at 503-618-2719 or toll-free at 1-888-989-3505 or to email GPD@GreshamOregon.gov.
