PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- After a 10-year investigation, police have arrested two men for the killing of a Milwaukie mother abducted from a shopping center in Oregon City.
Andrew Tigner, 34, and Joseph Major, 35, were arrested last week on accusations of murder of Susan Rae Hosler, and are being held without bail at a Multnomah County jail. The case has been presented to a Multnomah County grand jury.
Investigators on Tuesday released few details about the decade-old investigation, including how they linked the crime to Tigner and Major and whether the men knew Hosler, because they say the investigation is still incomplete.
The break in the case came as a relief to Hosler’s family.
“We appreciate all that they have done,” said Beverly Hosler of Oregon City, Susan Hosler’s mother-in-law, referring to investigators. “I am sure they did their best.”
Susan Hosler, 25, who had a 2-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter, was abducted from the Oregon City Shopping Center on Feb. 19, 1994. Her body was found two weeks later in a remote area of the Columbia River Gorge, about 200 feet from where her truck was abandoned two miles east of Multnomah Falls. She had been stabbed to death.
