Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office And FBI Intercept Largest Drug Seizure In MCSO History (Photo) -05/29/25

A joint investigation by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Dangerous Drugs Team (DDT), assisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has resulted in the arrest of an Estacada man and the seizure of a record-breaking amount of illegal dangerous drugs.

MCSO DDT investigators learned that the suspect had rented a vehicle and traveled to California to obtain a large quantity of illegal narcotics. The investigation revealed the suspect was driving back to Oregon with the intention of distributing the drugs.

On May 24, 2025, law enforcement officers located the subject driving the rented vehicle northbound on Interstate 5 in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Deputies followed the vehicle to a nearby rest stop, where the suspect was apprehended without incident.

Following the arrest, MCSO DDT investigators and the FBI executed a federal search warrant on the vehicle. This search yielded the seizure of over 278 pounds of methamphetamine and over 2 pounds of cocaine, which were found concealed within the backseat and cargo area of the vehicle.

Later the same day, investigators executed a federal search warrant at the suspect’s residence. During the search of the residence, law enforcement seized two firearms that were hidden under the floor in a closet.

This is the largest drug seizure in the history of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Dangerous Drugs Team (DDT) is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force that identifies, disrupts and dismantles local, multi-state, and international drug trafficking organizations using an intelligence-driven, multi-agency prosecutor-supported approach. MCSO DDT is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) and consists of members from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Gresham Police Department, FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and is supported by analysts from the Oregon National Guard.

The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi-agency drug enforcement initiatives, including the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Dangerous Drugs Team.

Renewed Collaboration And Commitment In Kyron Horman Case Ahead Of 15th Anniversary Of Disappearance (Photo) -05/09/25

As the 15th anniversary of Kyron Horman’s disappearance approaches, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and law enforcement partners are reaffirming their commitment to finding Kyron and pursuing justice.

Over the past year, investigators have undertaken a significant effort to modernize and review the case through a renewed, collaborative approach. The MCSO and Gresham Police detectives are working to digitize and reorganize the entire case. This means scanning and documenting thousands of pages of reports, photos and evidence.

When the case is digitized, the file will be reexamined by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). The BAU is a unit within the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime that uses behavioral analysis to assist in criminal investigations, by analyzing statements, narratives and evidence, performing psychological and behavioral analysis and offering investigative recommendations based on patterns from similar historic and current cases nationwide.

These steps lay the foundation for a fresh and comprehensive review of the entire investigation. In the coming months, MCSO detectives will meet with Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez and his team for further evaluation.

Kyron Horman was last seen on the morning of June 4, 2010, at Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, attending his school’s science fair. He has not been seen or heard from since. At the time, he was seven years old. Kyron has brown hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses. He also has a distinct V-shaped strawberry birthmark on his forehead.

On the day of his disappearance, Kyron was wearing a black t-shirt with "CSI" in green letters and a handprint graphic. He was also wearing black cargo pants, white socks, and black Skechers sneakers with orange trim. Kyron may have had his glasses on at the time.

“We have never stopped searching for Kyron,” said Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to bring resolution to this case, for Kyron, for his family and for the community. With the support of our partners and the public, we are actively pursuing every credible investigative opportunity. Kyron and his family are at the heart of our work.”

Each year, hundreds of tips are received, reviewed and considered for follow-up by investigators. To support this continued work, detectives are leveraging advances in software, digital forensics and technology to examine new and existing leads.

“As we approach the 15th anniversary of Kyron Horman’s disappearance, I want to reaffirm my continued commitment to this case,” said Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez. “My office has begun a thorough and methodical review of the case with fresh eyes, and we look forward to receiving further analysis from the Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. Our focus remains where it has always belonged—on Kyron and his family.”

A $50,000 reward remains available for information leading to the resolution of Kyron’s disappearance. Anyone with information is urged to contact the MCSO TipLine at 503-988-0560, email tips@mcso.us, or reach out to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) at 1-800-THE-LOST or online at the NCMEC CyberTipLine.
