A 2015 homicide at Trillium Lake remains unsolved.

On Sept. 24, 2015, Frank Wilson, 68, of Gresham, was found dead in his
vehicle in the parking lot of the Trillium Lake recreation area. The Oregon
State Medical Examiner determined that Wilson died of a gunshot wound to
the chest and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators believe that Wilson was killed while sitting in the driver’s seat of
his pickup sometime on the evening of Sept. 23.

On Thursday, Sept. 24, 2015, a group of bicyclists riding in the area came
across a white Ford F-150 pickup with the truck’s owner deceased inside. The
group immediately called 911.

Wilson was a longtime businessman who owned and operated Clackamas Tire
and Brake.

Investigators are seeking any information from the public to help solve the
case. Anyone who had contact with Wilson between Monday, Sept. 21, 2015
and Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2015 is encouraged to share that information by
contacting Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Detective Terway or leave a tip
via the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line, or the CrimeStoppers of Oregon Tip Line.
Investigators also believe that someone may have inadvertently altered the
crime scene prior to police arrival and would like to hear from that person or
persons.

Wilson was actively trying to not be located, according to authorities. He had
been engaging in behavior described as uncharacteristic and distant.
