Salem PD Searches For Attempted Murder Suspect – KXL

Salem, Ore. – Salem Police ask for the public’s help tracking down a man suspected of attempted murder.

Investigators say 62-year-old Ray Myers and the victim were making food deliveries late Tuesday night, when she says Myers drove her to a secluded area of West Salem, sexually assaulted her and then stabbed her multiple times when she tried to resist. She tried to run, but she says Myers held her in the car. She convinced him to let her go into a Walgreens in Keizer for first aid items, where staff called police. By the time officers arrived, the suspect was gone.

Myers was last seen driving a silver Honda Civic with Oregon plates: 241-NGP. Police believe he has access to firearms, so should not be approached.
